heh let's not get off topic, or everyone will demand planescape torment 2 (even now just listening to ingame music still gets me into a good mood). After some thinking and reading your responses I was kinda suprised that for example Guild Wars was mentioned (there are a lot of bow & arrow, closeup of creature mouth icons but I guess I doesn't come up as problematic in the game). I think what I (kinda subconciously) liked about the Bg Icons that they look like something someone wrote/drew into a book (..and the interface looks like a book^^) so they are in one color and have no color hues or complicated illustrations. ..seems that was the whole point I tried to make..

Let's deal with this important question . Oh and to recap (but imagesearch is probably better): Baldurs Gate Icons come in three colors, offensive-red, defensive-blue and miscish-white. Icewind Dale Icons similar but have a red tones for offensive, green for summoning... (with exceptions) Planescape Torment with no real symbolic pattern. Other.. Well mine is from Baldurs Gate.. why? Since I think a icon with a gun firing doesn't tell me as much as an icon with a Bullet and and three halfcircles behind it (to indicate for example triple power). The spellbook is kind of a toolbox and I like my spells to reflect that I use something technical like "Tyndal's Flurescend Warp Displacer" vs "Roar of Anger" (..or flatheads have a red grip, philips a black one). I am in the dungeon of Shadowlords, and then half my screen is filled with the spellbook of rainbowcolors. I'd like to think that I am not alone in that sentiment but the trend seems to be definitely away from "functional/runic/symbolic" icons to stylish. So what would you like to see in Eternity?
