To Arkane Studios, so far the game looks great, but one important detail kind of bothers me. The health and mana meters, I find them a bit distracting, which hurts the immersion of the game. I think it would be better if a more minimalist, and less intrusive method of displaying health and mana was present. Maybe just make it transparent.

There is a context sensitive option for each HUD element or turn them off completely. Context sensitive shows them only when you take damage and use a spell which is probably the best option for most deal.
