Character Menu Design Oddity

Post » Sat May 12, 2012 11:23 am

It occurred to me that 'Magic' and 'Items' are on the wrong sides of the Character Menu ('Tab' key on PC or 'B' button on Xbox 360). When you activate Magic on the left side, the menu opens on the right of the screen and vice-versa for the Items menu. To me, this seems like an odd design decision. Anyone agree?

I guess this could be a mod at some time in the future. Should be easy enough to swap two words around on the menu.

I agree. It's confusing.

One of the first things I noticed, as well. I still, after 60+ hours get confused by that, sometimes.

Items on the right, magic on the left.
Its simple. Its also the way the skills function. I like it.

It makes more sense when you think about the buttons you're pressing on the controller.

What's so confusing about this?

The screen moves right so the rest remains at left side and vice versa.

Not to mention... what's the point?
