Description |
First, show the item letters next to the items themselves. As a keyboard player, I find the tiles inventory very useful for keeping track of my scrolls and potions. However, if, looking at the inventory, I see a scroll I could use, I still have to find it again in the read menu.
Second, show pluses. I think that, if the inventory showed weapon and armor pluses, the only information about your items not available just by looking at the inventory would be artifact properties.
These two suggestions together would almost completely eliminate the need for a list-based inventory even for a keyboard tiles player.
The main problem would be overcrowding the item box, particularly for ammo, which has to fit 4 separate pieces of information in the box - the count, pluses, letter and brand. Everything else either doesn't stack or doesn't have pluses. However, the first suggestion alone wouldn't have this problem and would still make the tiles inventory more useful for keyboard players. |
