dherve10 Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 They look to be the same icons used in NWN2. As such, I'm seriously hoping they are placeholder. The neon coloring is very abrasive to the eyes and I personally would raise an eyebrow, and perhaps sneer disgustedly, if I found that the devs are actually planning on having NW2 icons in the final release of this game. 1
Adolphus Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I wanted to comment on this too. Why in the heck do we have neon ability icons in a game like this? Totally runes the immersion factor forme. 1
Sarex Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 The icons are from IWD2 and they look great to me. "because they filled mommy with enough mythic power to become a demi-god" - KP
Sammael Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Yup, IDW2 icons, and pretty awesome. They have to be in contrast with the rest of the interface in order to easily recognize them. There are no doors in Jefferson that are "special game locked" doors. There are no characters in that game that you can kill that will result in the game ending prematurely.
Cabamacadaf Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Pretty sure a lot of them are placeholders, they look almost exactly like the ones in some of the IE games. (Unless that's the point and they're supposed to look like that) Edited August 21, 2014 by Cabamacadaf
Justinian Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Most of them are placeholders from IWD2. The first level wizard spells are actual game icons though and they look pretty sweet. Just need them to be bigger!

The icons you refer to are temp, but thank you for your input. 1
dherve10 Posted August 23, 2014 Author Posted August 23, 2014 The icons you refer to are temp, but thank you for your input. Sure thing. Thanks for acknowledging feedback. It's super encouraging.
Caerdon Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I'd definitely prefer something more solid than these weird spell effects on black background. There are so many better ways to do it: runes like in BG series, some aboriginal paintings on stone or wood or leather, wood carvings, mosaic... stained glass, anyone?
lolaldanee Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 i for one love me some IWD2 icons, they are fluffy
Cabamacadaf Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I like the IWD2 icons too, but I don't think they really fit in this game.
Shadenuat Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Since many ppl here probably played here IWD2 they are probably get confused as hell, lol. One thing to note - with new resolutions and monitors, even on old monitor like mine IWD2 icons are too small now. Their size should get doubled and some other design tweaks used to make them easy to comprehend. I wonder if it's possible to scale them a bit in options depending on what player likes... Their location is p. good however, looks like a compromise between IE game and NWN2 quick spellbook.
