LE Craftting UI overhaul. Especially Alchemy/Enchanting.

[Beriallord]

I recommend changing the UI that deals with crafting, for example when I level enchanting I have to do 3 clicks, push enter, and click yes, every time. Very annoying. Be better if I could just click 3 times to select the stuff and then keep clicking once to craft a bunch of items and change the items/enchant/modifiers if I want. Same thing with alchemy. Very, very time consuming to level alchemy and enchanting because of the UI. Smithing is fine, I highlight an item hit e and click. I also don't like the box that pops up asking if I want to craft this item. If you want to eliminate that box entirely, and make crafting one click, or simply press E to make the item that would be freaking awesome. Possibly put a tab in settings to eliminate the box, some people might like it but I absolutely hate the game questioning my actions every time asking if I want to craft X item, after doing it a million times. I hate the crafting UI in this game with a passion. I hate the UI in general, but this takes the cake.

 

Alchemy in general needs to be more intuitive. If you created a potion, it should be on a list of potions you can make that you can highlight, and click E to make providing you have the materials, and crafted the potion once, instead of it being a bunch of guess work. Alchemy desperately needs some UI mod love. The entire way Alchemy crafting works in this game needs an overhaul.

 

Here is an idea, you would have a tab showing different potion effects, for example Restore health, click that and it will have a list of available potions you made under that tab, you highlight the potion and click E to craft just highlight and left click, and no stupid window showing up asking if you want to create the item. You make a new potion something shows at the top saying you learned craft XXX potion, then it gets added to a list under its category you can just craft without clicking on materials. Anyone agree something like that would be way better than the current UI? This would help not only crafting but people that want to level their skills up without fighting with a really crappy UI that gets in the way.

 

I understand something like this might not be possible without the tool set. But I hope someone takes up the task of overhauling the crafting UI interface. And I gave a few ideas. I am certain it would be a very popular mod, with many endorsements. I don't even want any credit for any of the ideas if implemented.
