Planescape: Torment - Retrospective @ RPGFan

Wasn't ? Where do you have this from ?

To me it had *always* appeared that it was meant to be the "main menu".
Click to expand...

Everything important accessible in the radial menu could be placed in the hotbars.

The radial menu was simply a way to reach pretty much EVERYTHING from a single point, which means that you can find what you need without searching through countless hidden menus that is common in other games - even if it takes a while.

To access often-used features/powers using the radial menu during play, is to not understand the point of hotbars.
 
I actually liked the NWN 2 interface better than NWN 1, however, I had to tweak a lot of settings, and add a mod or 2 to get it past the better line. Never liked the extremely deep NWN radial menu. Way too many mouse clicks for my liking.

Still looking for a set of compatible GUI mods that make the inventory item icons bigger. Definite eye squinter on my 1920x1200 laptop screen...

I 110% hated NWN 1's interface and it is the reason i didn't buy any of the sequels.

I have not play PST but i have watched many of the "let's play" videos in youtube and it looks somewhat boring with all those long conversations, the radial menu is much better than Arcanum's UI.

A dull article, he just basically repeats what all rpg fans all ready know.

I agree - but outside the circles of RPG fans ... ?
