This is an old revision of the document!
[I believe that most of the content below the line can go; we remade the starting screens. But I not sure what to scrap, so I left everything in place.]
dpeg 2010-09-21 14:46: This section is about reducing the number of choices on the first two screens (choice of species, choice of background). Here is why I want that:
I am aware of the problems:
So here is the proposal:
One technical way to go about this would be having some number N which tells you how many species/backgrounds to display. “Unlocking” alluded to above would increase N, presumably by more than 1. For this, it would be necessary to order the recommended backgrounds per species (and also the recommended species per background), so that we can print the top N of this list.
Remembering my own first experiences with the game, I do agree this is a problem. I feel like it could be alleviated somewhat by simply removing some of the redundant or outright bad choices that are currently available. To give a couple of examples: mummies are currently a rather lousy choice of race; instead of trying to 'fix' them, perhaps they could be removed altogether? And is it really necessary to have both mountain dwarves and minotaurs, given that they essentially fill the same niche? — dtsund 2010-09-22 00:24
If you've been around for a while, you know that we are not afraid of taking drastic measures: we have removed four species so far (Elf, Grey Elf, Hill Dwarf, Gnome). Okay, Gnomes kind of resurfaces as Deep Dwarves later, but I think everyone will agree that DD is different. Mummy is also different enough and wise men have told me that it's good to allow certain players to have a scumming tool. There are plans to make dwarves small, which would differentiate them clearly from Minotaurs.
Altogether, I don't think that removal is a good way to make the starting screens light enough for new players. Ultimately, I would like to have 27 (differentiated) species! — dpeg 2010-09-22 11:23
I personally don't like the idea of locking choices. Would it be within reason to just add an option (perhaps as the default for new players) on the character selection menus only to show very basic (and of course beginner-friendly) species, backgrounds, and combos, similarly to how hints mode only allows MiBe, DECj, and CeHu? If it's really worth the effort, I guess the option could have a sort of unlocking (e.g. elementalists unlocked after playing a wizard to temple, or Reavers/Crusaders after getting melee on a spellcaster or spellcasting on a fightey character). — MrMisterMonkey 2010-09-22 22:14
You did see that I offered three ways to unlock everything? (And I meant that all three should be available.) If you don't like it, for example because you're a veteran and just use a new version, then set the option or press that key. — dpeg 2010-09-23 09:58
Oops; I only noticed the first two. I do think the full range should appear by default, though. — MrMisterMonkey 2010-09-23 10:10
The point is precisely that we want to protect new players from being overwhelmed by long lists. Hence the restricted range has to be default. I agree that we want to make it as easy as possible to get the full range for anyone (else). I always design with new players on mind. — dpeg 2010-09-23 10:44
I'm not sure if flat-out restricting choices by default is the best way to go. I remember feeling a little overwhelmed when I first started, but much more than that I was excited by the huge variety and the amount of depth it promised. If my only choices were to pick from an extremely limited tutorial-like character list or unlock everything instantly and suffer the consequences, I'd have surely opted for the latter. I think a more modest change would be best. My suggestion: leave everything unlocked, but add a button marked “Help me create a character”. Then ask one or two tiers of questions and suggest a couple of race/class combinations based on the result. For example: “Would you like to play a: a) Melee fighter b) Ranged fighter c) Spellcaster d) Battlemage.” Choosing A prompts stuff like MDFi, MiGl, and TrBe, D suggests HECr, MfIE, and SETr, C asks whether you would prefer raw magical damage (KeCj, DEFE) or variety/control (DEWz, VpEN, SpVM), and so on. This lets you introduce the player to a very wide variety of races and backgrounds while still limiting them to viable combinations and making it clear how each one is meant to be played, all without needing to greet them with a ton of grayed-out options. Maybe give each option a very brief description of how that class plays and why that race excels at it, along with explaining any special considerations (like the specific dietary needs of Trolls, Vampires, and Spriggans). This also has the added benefit of categorizing races in a way that will help guide the player towards good ways to mix-and-match on their own (“I like the Wizard's spellbook, but I don't like how fragile Deep Elves are…I remember High Elves were listed among more durable magically-apt races; maybe I'll try a High Elf Wizard”). — Sjohara 2010-10-16 00:51
I like this idea. It could work very well. A detailed proposal could make this a more short-term goal. — dpeg 2010-10-16 02:07
dpeg 2010-03-08 12:35: Hijacking this by replying on the top, but I won't add another screen. The following points have been confirmed by keskitalo.
The character selection screen is currently quite cluttered, and much of the information is scrunched up all the way at the bottom.

An alternative to consider, buys us a line at the expense of some clarity. Note I've used that line here for space/esc — marcmagus 2010-03-04 05:08
Both of the above would already be nice improvements. — dpeg 2010-03-04 13:51

Here's a regrouping of classes by broad theme - martial, divine (and caster DKs ugh), explicit hybrid, “pure” caster, wanderer. I think it makes a good bit more sense than the current pile. At the very least, having three columns makes things look roomier, there's no need to indent things from the left margin, and putting in that newly-gained space between “You can be” and the classlist makes things a bit nicer. I also don't think there's anything fundamentally terrible about the current screen, really. (Also, if this is poorly aligned you'll have to use your imaginations, I've had absurd amounts of trouble getting it to the current state.) — og17 2010-03-04 08:25
I am fine with three columns (and the additional blank line after “You can be…” is very nice) but I am not so sure about the grouping. By construction, several baclgrounds will fall into more than one group, no matter how you slice it. (Three columns will be especially good once we're at 27 species and 27 backgrounds.) — dpeg 2010-03-04 13:51
I really like the way this orders the letters vertically in the columns. I find it much easier to find the letters than the current [horizontal] ordering. I think it should be applied to all two and three column layouts, grouping things so you scan down the first column, then down the second[, then down the third]. For me, at least, this is how I naturally read, and the current menus are confusing. — marcmagus 2010-03-04 18:25
I agree, and it is for the same reason I find it more difficult to read three columns than two. — jpeg 2010-03-04 23:43
Hello! I'm Aslak from Eino's usability project team. We've also made a few new layout designs that we were planning to return along with our usability report. However since you've already started brainstorming about the subject I think it's better to share what we have now rather than later.
First of all we have two designs for species selection menu, one for normal case and one for a case where character background has been selected before species.
Welcome, Tester. Please select your species. To enter tutorial press CTRL + T a - Human b - High Elf c - Deep Elf d - Sludge Elf e - Mountain Dwarf f - Deep Dwarf g - Hill Orc h - Merfolk i - Halfling j - Kobold k - Spriggan l - Naga m - Centaur n - Ogre o - Troll p - Minotaur q - Kenku r - Draconian s - Demigod t - Demonspawn u - Mummy v - Ghoul w - Vampire Space Choose class first * Random species # Good random character ! Random character Enter Spriggan Tab Spriggan Venom Mage X Quit
This is also a definite improvement, especially because of the line dedicated to the tutorials. Note that Start / Welcome Menu discusses the starting screen and suggests that the menu for that screen should contain a Tutorial option. — dpeg 2010-03-04 13:51
Case where background has already been selected:
Welcome, Tester the Venom Mage. Please select your species. To enter tutorial press CTRL + T a - Human c - Deep Elf d - Sludge Elf h - Merfolk j - Kobold k - Spriggan l - Naga n - Ogre q - Kenku r - Draconian s - Demigod t - Demonspawn u - Mummy Unrecomended (weak race/class combination) b - High Elf e - Mountain Dwarf f - Deep Dwarf g - Hill Orc i - Halfling m - Centaur o - Troll p - Minotaur v - Ghoul w - Vampire + Good random * Random Enter Spriggan Tab Spriggan Venom Mage Bksp Back to class selection X Quit
> I don't really like this. In my opinion, it's better to have all the choices at fixed positions, and use colour to indicate (un)viability. There was a huge discussion about if/how bad it is that a very new player does not notice how the darkgrey choices can be used. I think that this is not a drawback, but a desirable feature. Similar comments apply to the background selections. — dpeg 2010-03-04 13:51
Next two designs for character background selection:
Welcome, Tester the Spriggan. Please select your class. To enter tutorial press CTRL + T Fighters a - Fighter b - Gladiator c - Monk d - Berserker e - Paladin f - Priest g - Healer h - Chaos Knight i - Death Knight j - Crusader k - Reaver l - Warper Casters m - Wizard n - Conjurer o - Enchanter p - Summoner q - Necromancer r - Transmuter s - Fire Elementalist v - Earth Elementalist w - Venom Mage Thieves x - Stalker y - Thief z - Assassin A - Hunter B - Artificer C - Arcane Marksman D - Wanderer + Good random * Random Enter Venom Mage Tab Spriggan Venom Mage Bksp Back to previous menu X Quit
Second protorype with weak classes seperated:
Welcome, Tester the Spriggan. Please select your class. To enter tutorial press CTRL + T Fighters l - Warper Casters o - Enchanter u - Air Elementalist w - Venom Mage Thieves x - Stalker z - Assassin A - Hunter B - Artificer C - Arcane Marksman Unrecomended (weak race/class combination) a - Fighter b - Gladiator c - Monk d - Berserker e - Paladin f - Priest g - Healer h - Chaos Knight i - Death Knight j - Crusader k - Reaver m - Wizard n - Conjurer p - Summoner q - Necromancer r - Transmuter s - Fire Elementalist t - Ice Elementalist v - Earth Elementalist y - Thief D - Wanderer + Good random * Random Enter Venom Mage Tab Spriggan Venom Mage Bksp Back to previous menu X Quit
Then a few notes:
Based on these notes one more suggestion for the bottom block of the background selection screen:
? - More information % - List of aptitudes Space - Choose species first Esc - Go back +/* - Good/random background #/! - Good/random character Enter - Earth Elementalist Tab - Mountain Dwarf Earth Elementalist
— aslakkar 2010-03-04 11:49
I've read all of this and it's pretty impressive. This seems to cover a lot of it:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (this line has eighty dashes) Welcome, TGW the Kobold. (Press Ctrl-T to enter a tutorial.) % - List of aptitudes ? - Help a - Fighter i - Death Knight r - Wizard b - Gladiator j - Crusader s - Conjurer c - Monk k - Reaver t - Summoner l - Warper u - Necromancer d - Berserker m - Transmuter e - Paladin n - Enchanter v - Fire Elementalist f - Priest o - Stalker w - Ice Elementalist g - Healer x - Air Elementalist h - Chaos Knight p - Assassin y - Earth Elementalist i - Death Knight q - Thief z - Venom Mage A - Hunter C - Artificer B - Arcane Marksman D - Wanderer Enter - Earth Elementalist Tab - Mountain Dwarf Earth Elementalist + - Viable background * - Random background # - Viable character ! - Random character Which background? (Press space to choose your species first.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Death Knight is listed twice intentionally, but not necessarily. If there's something good you can do with a single line, this version has a line left over.
I don't think the explicit listing of escape is entirely necessary, since it's so universal. I'm pretty happy with this one! — TGW 2010-03-04 22:05
.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (this line has eighty dashes) Welcome, TGW the Kobold. (Press Ctrl-T to enter a tutorial.) You can be: a - Fighter i - Death Knight u - Wizard b - Gladiator l - Crusader v - Conjurer c - Monk m - Reaver w - Summoner n - Warper x - Necromancer d - Berserker o - Transmuter e - Paladin p - Enchanter y - Fire Elementalist f - Priest q - Stalker z - Ice Elementalist g - Healer A - Air Elementalist h - Chaos Knight r - Assassin B - Earth Elementalist i - Death Knight s - Thief C - Venom Mage j - Hunter t - Artificer D - Wanderer k - Arcane Marksman Enter - Earth Elementalist Tab - Mountain Dwarf Earth Elementalist + - Viable background * - Random background # - Viable character ! - Random character Which background? Press space to choose your species first. (Press % to list aptitudes, ? for help, and Esc to go back.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I put the space/%/?/esc options on one line, I think this works better. I like “You can be” but it can stay or go, with the rest it'd be two more lines without it.
Grouping seems to be on shaky ground in general, but I'd caution against giving “borderline” classes like DKs two entries in groupings, as futures classes may use too many spaces with it and it makes the letters jump - I'm very fond of vertically-descending alphabetical listings, though (for what it's worth, this wasn't an intentional change, but one that came naturally when reassigning letters - I didn't actually notice I did it until Marc pointed it out). Anyway, I don't like artificer with wanderer - “wanderer” alone was to show it's different than other classes, not to make a catch-all “other” pile. Artificer could have its own category, I guess, with wanderer alone in the last column, though I think it's okay to have the initially noncasting classes together.
If anyone's wondering, only reason I'm starting the initial line with a period is that the wiki insists on making the line a numbered list otherwise; it's not meant as a change. — OG17 2010-03-04 22:40
Tweaked this to actually fit in the alloted space (browser font isn't fixed-width, oops). — OG17 2010-03-04 23:39
Degrouped and compressed. Five free lines!

I like this one best. With the comment that Enter and Tab should be last and not first, and that the free space should be used to give the Tutorial it's extra line (right on top), surrounded by blank lines. — dpeg 2010-03-05 00:11
Horizontal version of the above.

What would be nice is if we could remove the “which background?” line and allow the cursor to select backgrounds the way it does saves. The saved space (seven freaking lines) could be used for any number of things, the suggestion I've seen so far being to put the description for the cursored choice on the screen itself. — TGW 2010-03-04 23:38
Yes, that sounds neat. I could imagine a cursor mode, as long as you can use all the keys we already have. And of course, the cursor would by default be on your last choice, so that “Enter = last species/background” would be automatically true. (Note: there can be a clash if you've played a HuHe last game, and now choose Mu as species. Should the cursor be on Healer? Perhaps in some other colour.) — dpeg 2010-03-05 00:11
The following replaces the “which one?” prompt with a tutorial line, replaces “enter” with “space,” and moves that line to the bottom. There are five unallocated lines.

Based on other layout suggestions, we've come up with second iteration of the class selection menu layout.
Two column version with total 24 lines with one line for description text:

This is outstanding! A minor remark: we may want to include “Backspace” (or an abbreviation) in the shortcut list (only when the player already chose a species). And what about “Esc”?. Note that a tiny bit of space could be saved by moving Space to the righthand column. — dpeg 2010-03-14 00:28
Thanks! We could change “Space - Pick species first” to “Space - Change species” if a species is already chosen (I believe the two keys function identically). We could save space by moving “Space,” but I think this grouping is most intuitive. I'm also not worried about horizontal space unless there are plans to make longer backgrounds than “Earth Elementalist.” I figured Esc was intuitive enough to omit, but if the starting menu becomes important it may be worth using a line for. — TGW 2010-03-14 01:54

If you select a character background before a race, and then check the aptitude screen, the recommended races could be highlighted, like your current race is highlighted when checking the aptitude screen during the game. galehar
