TheVanguard Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Finally looking through the January update, I noticed an Alpha screenshot of the character sheet UI. While overall it looks really nice and has lots of information in it, I worry there isn't an easy way to "compare" two different characters. I notice a character's name at the top with arrows pointing left and right. My issue is that let's say you have two characters who can use the same item and you want to compare their stats but there's three characters between them in the list order. You have to keep clicking back and forth to do your compare, and that sounds like the kind of tedium that tends to turn me off from richer item systems. Have I missed something about the UI and/or item system that alleviates this concern? Or is this back-and-forth to compare different character's abilities (not just for equipment, either) a possible issue? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndiraLightfoot Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I know what you mean. So many CRPGs are sorely missing this functionality. I'd be very grateful if a comparison feature like that was included. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDGee Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Quick compare on characters and gear is always a welcome addition in an rpg None of this is really happening. There is a man. With a typewriter. This is all part of his crazy imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably change the order of the characters to make the back and forth less cumbersome, but I agree that a comparison tool could be very useful.

Silent Winter Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hopefully we can also just click on a portrait, like in the IE games, to switch to that character's page (so any characters are just a click away). 1 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Casts Nature's Terror* , *Casts Firebug* , *Casts Rot-Skulls* , *Casts Garden of Life* *Spirit-shifts to cat form* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvertears Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'd assume there is a hotkey for each character, which could avoid the clicking. But being able to quick-compare multiple chars could be a nice feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
