cooltrickle Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I know this will probably divide players, but I think the HUD is way too minimalist. When I'm riding a horse and an enemy appears I have to sprint ahead of the enemy so I don't get hit before I have enough time to: 1. Get off the horse because there is no damn horse combat.2. Check I'm running and not walking3. Ready my weapons/check my sword and shield are equipped I'd like a HUD that shows me the status of 2 and 3, all the time. If you're in first person mode you can forget what weapon you have equipped or whether you are walking or running during sneak mode. If takes time to scroll out to third person mode to check your equipped weapons, or sometimes, it's too dark to see. It's a pain and immersion breaker to keep opening menus to double-check things. So what I'm looking for is icons that represent whether you are in walk or run, and stand or crouch mode. And also, which weapons you have equipped.
cooltrickle Posted November 25, 2011 Author Posted November 25, 2011 I realise it was not necessary to add "display" after HUD, sorry about that. It's annoying me, too. I would also like to see the shout that I have equipped on the HUD. Who wants to look in a menu to see what shout they have equipped? Immersion = broken.
