Anyone know if there's a mod out there for such an interface? If not, maybe we could do some collaboration on making one. I'm not so goo at coding or anything in the field, but I'm pretty decent at designing an intuitive system.
This game is amazing, but there are some portions of it that are needlessly wasteful on time. For the first part, I'm looking for something that will allow me to select a body part, and the game will show me all the gear that is associated with it. From there, it will allow me to select and deselect the pieces I would like on that part. Maybe add a portion on there with a "paper doll" design, showing how much of the body the piece will actually cover. I believe doing both of these things would lower the learning curve for many people looking to get into the game, and save others from having to deal with an anti-fun game design that pushes a "false challenge" on players (spending 15 minutes organizing your inventory after each re-equip/purchase is only a challenge on your patience).
The second part of the mod would bypass the nonsense of having to remove items from your pack in order to use them for things like butchering. I know this seems unnecessary now, as there are few things in the game that involve actions in your inventory, but after having played the Genesis Mod for even a little bit I know this will change. When we start getting to a game where we're doing things like making arrows and bone armor, we're going to be really annoyed with having to remove 6 specific things from our pack, then put it all back--every time we choose to make something.
