Request: 'Vision Accommodations' mods

[raney]

Hello All,

 

I have a strange eye condition that has me legally blind in both eyes, but I can still play through most games (if my face is hovering like 4 inches away from the monitor). I gave Sekiro a try, and putting aside the fact that I sucked horribly at it, I had a pretty miserable time with certain visual aspects. I want to sit down and struggle with this game for hours until I git gud, but there are a lot of little things that strain my eyes that I don't remember having a problem with in any of the Souls games, which I was able to successfully fumble my way through. So here's a list of mod requests - or to better put it, some things I wonder whether or not they can be changed.

 

Biggest Beef: The text in item descriptions (and some menus?)

The one thing that got to me right away was that the text was white, over a tan background. Trying to read these, even with my special computer shades, gave me a headache from eye-strain. I'm perfectly fine with white text over a dark background, like what the Souls games did. Black text over a light background is harder for me, but manageable. I'd love a mod that makes that tan background a very dark brown, but since there are some instances of black text over the tan background (IIRC), it would require changing the color of said text as well.

 

Confirmation during the interruption popups when you pick up an item

I don't have a cursor in my game, and never will, so long as I use an external program to bind magnification to my side mouse buttons. So, when I pick up an item with the 'Action' key (Yeah, I do mouse+keyboard), it becomes a real nuisance to close every single game-interrupting popup. Wouldn't it be great if I could just go (Action key to pick up item) -> (Action key to immediately close window), instead of having to remove my hand from mouse to press Enter, the only key that functions as confirm, and then reach for the mouse again?

 

This one I could do on my own with AutoHotkey, but it's the kind of thing I think would benefit other mouse+keyboard players who don't have a cursor.

 

Those tiny button-prompts

I only knew which keys to press because I spent a long time wrestling with the options menu. (And btw, figuring out how to unbind specific keys while the menu shows you which controller button to press was a real pain, but I eventually figured out how to switch to key displays!) But those little notifications have really tiny text, which makes me have to stop and squint for longer than I'd want to in a game like this. I don't remember seeing any options to make the text larger in the options menu, so...any chance that a mod could be made to insert larger text? Just for the little tips that appear on the left, and the descriptions that appear underneath the button prompts in the center of the screen.

 

I love From games. I want to love this one too, but my eyes were hurting after around 1.5 hours. Because of Steam's whole 2-hour rule, I felt like I needed to refund, in the event that I went further in and still had these problems. I'll gladly purchase it again if these little things can be addressed. (I've never refunded a game before, which might be indicative of the existential crisis I was going through during the game's opening.)
