Remove Auxiliary Armor, Weapons, and Enchantments
We should also considering removing weapons from the game. Having different weapon types is pointless because you're never going to use weapons from a different skill pool instead of the one all your XP is invested into, and if you have the skill to use a great mace then using a great mace is a no-brainer and there is no reason to use any other weapon in the maces & flails pool. We already have unarmed combat which solves all of these problems and doesn't present you with fake no-brainer choices such as "Do I use this +0 dire flail, or this +7 great mace of crushing?".
All of these things are tedious and undermine the general design philosophy that has been laid out. I can't tell you how annoying it is to press buttons every time I come across a new piece of aux armor or a new enchant scroll. The game would be less tedious and require less keystrokes without any of these features; let's completely remove them from the game. If I have to press any more buttons in this game I think I might contract carpal tunnel.
