All of these screens are from the Xbox version, and I took them. You can turn a lot of the UI off, if you want to. When they first showed these fonts in alpha footage last year, I assumed they were going to be replaced in the full game…but they weren’t. The fonts look very bland and business-like. I also don’t love the font choices for the main information overlays on the game screen. It has all the things you’d want a modern open action RPG to have in it, it just takes longer to learn than is really necessary. Now, once you get the hang of it, the UI is nicely-featured. Upgrading and kitting out a character is similarly clunky. Want to fast travel to the next recommended quest for your character? That’s located in a whole separate tab with quest log information. Want to see where treasure chests and resource deposits you’ve already discovered are located? You’ve got to enter Treasure Info mode. So instead of just picking a spot and then hitting a certain button to fast travel there, you first have to enter fast travel mode.
The map has all of its functions bafflingly split across various menu items. It’s had a total overhaul from the previous games, and has a much cleaner, more modern look…but everything takes about 3 clicks more than it should. The interface in this game is a very clunky bit of business.
