For anyone who hasn’t yet checked out the Nexus since the game’s release, an inventory UI replacement mod has already been out for some days. It gives you a way more compact and useful inventory interface with clickable columns that you can sort by, and most importantly the value per mass column. The most important item stat in Bethesda games.

Another thing you can do is add temporary columns of many different stats to compare your items. It also shows that quantity of an item you already have while shoping. And probably other things.

    Pretty sad that they worked on this game for years, and a core part of the game was fixed in days.

      There’s a reason why people said things like “are you ready for the new modding platform from Bethesda!?”.

      It’s actually very similar to Reddit and their mods, well former mods anyway. Profiting off of free labor.

      Standard Bethesda

      Design the whole game so that it’s equally bad on all platforms then rely on modders to make it functional on PC

        I really wish this was Howards swan song instead of Elder Scrolls 6. Bethsoft is in dire need of new leadership.

          lol seriously? they had 6 million people play starfield literally days after release and it was the highest selling game on steam before early access even started. theres no way they are in “dire need of new leadership” 😂😂

                I mean sure. If you enjoy bare bones winning no matter what and consider that a quality game, then yeah it’s a game with that quality.

                If you seriously believe sales equals quality, you’re going to be in for a shock after highschool.

            I’m sure the shareholders don’t think so, and a lot of the fans are fine. Starfield is the RPG equivalent of Madden 2024 and some folks were expecting Football Manager. Doesn’t mean anyone has to like it who loved old Bethesda games.

            I’m pretty sure OP means that THEY want Bethesda to have new leadership and, me too

                True.
                Starfield is set in the future.

                Bethesda did start out by making the first Madden game though.

          I mean they are making games for literally everyone. It was only ever going to be a watered down theme park.

        And by standard, you mean bad outright. Bethesda doesn’t get away with QOL improvements that every other major game company figured out years ago.

    Some silly UI oversights i’ve found:

    • absolutely no way to tell what magazines you have and the effects
    • with the powers - I can’t tell which one I have equipped or if I have enough mana or whatever it’s called to use it

      My biggest UI gripe has to be the lack of a Contraband menu, instead you have to search through all your gear looking for a tiny yellow or red tag.

        Yeah i just don’t bother picking it up (at least after the first time). The money isn’t really worth it when you could just loot spacesuits or guns etc.

          Which is hard to do when quick looting because you can’t see the tag, the whole contraband system is such a pain.
