Suggestion: Item Names on the Interface

Postby Tommerbob » Thu Jul 19, 2012 10:32 pm

After watching a few videos, I noticed something specific about the Interface that I would like to make a suggestion for.

The Item Names on the game Interface seem excessively large. They look the same as in the first Torchlight, and when there were several items on the screen, it quickly became cluttered because of the their size.

I recommend reducing the size of Item Names on the Interface. This isn't a huge deal, but its one of those small polishing improvements that I think would greatly benefit the game. If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's a screenshot:

EDIT for clarification: Reduce the size of the boxes for the Item Names. The text font is fine, but the boxes are very large.

In my opinion it is fine as it is. Smaller size of font might make it hard to read for some people, I think current size is in the golden middle - not too small, and not too large.

I somewhat agree about clutter, but from what I heard - TL 2 will allow to filter what kind of items would you want to light-up.

Maybe I need to clarify. I'm not talkiing about the text of the Item Names. I'm talking about the boxes themselves. They are excessively large in relation to the text itself.

I may be able to make a mod for it when the game's out.

You know you can use ALT to toggle them on and off, so when you're in battle you can hide them and just toggle them on them when it's all quiet and you're ready to loot.

It's really a non issue at 1080p.

I also noticed this as more of an annoyance. It's not really that big of a deal but in torchlight one, when you have a bunch of items on the ground in one spot it's hard to individually select one, so I usually just pick up everything and then have to drop the trash items afterwords.
