The info sheet needs a little work. I won't go into another UI mockup like I did last time, but we should at least be able to switch between party members quickly while in the info sheet. Am I the only one trying to compare my team members to each other?

I actually bet you could probably get the same information to show up on the inventory screen, in the individual chacter's profile, below defense, accuracy, etc. Just make that section scrollable so that you can see all that information. Then I won't have a problem of having two different screens to worry about. I can just right-click my character's profile and all the info I need will be at my fingertips.

Sounds like a good idea.

I'd rather have a separate screen than a scrollable section of the inventory screen - no need to cram it in.

But I agree it should be easy to switch between party members (can't we click on the portrait / use their number on the keyboard?).

Or even have the option of opening 2 character sheets side-by-side (though that may involve more work and not do so well on low-res monitors).

This was one of the advantages of the BG and IWD design, the portrait menu was always usable for changing characters in menus.

 

I think Obsidian shot themselves in the foot a bit with their UI design.

That's definitely something we'd like to improve when we have time.  There are plentiful keyboard shortcuts for switching characters in UIs (1-6 keys, Tab/Shift+Tab, arrowkeys), but the only mouse-only way is via the arrows next to the character's name (which I'm sure nobody ever notices).

wow.....i thought those arrows were decorative.

This is actually bad because TAB should remove tooltip delays, rather than having this function, as it does in the Main HUD.
