I suffer from moderate OCD and have been playing this game for over 1000 hours. At this point you can imagine how much gear I have. Now I love how each set of gear has its use, but I have no way to sort my gear. The longer I play the game, the worse this problem gets. I’ve even used tricks like putting gems in specific gear sets so I can identify them quickly, but it no longer works. I have to search through hundreds of pieces any time I want to change activities… But the biggest issue is that whole mess just drives my OCD crazy and almost makes me feel sick. Please create better ways to sort your gear!
Problem: Armor/Weapon Categories are WAY too cluttered and give a poor OCD boy like myself anxiety.
Possible Solutions?
Craftable armor stands in the furnishing skill that allows players to equip(store) 1 piece of each gear slot in or on the stand inside your house. This would be extremely useful and cool if you could actually see the equipped armor displayed in your house!
Some type of editable tabs (Nameable sub tabs?) in your storage shed that you can create and drag/drop items.
I keep different sets at different settlements storage, if that helps you at all. I keep my healing set in BW, my mage set in ES and my dex set (that I’ve never put on so far) in RW. This way I know if I wanted to heal, just swap into the gear at BW etc. Good luck.
I’m in the same situation, i find myself browsing/moving/searching for things in the storage more than i would like to admit.
Not to mention the cap limit for items…it drives me crazy to have to move things from town to town
This exactly is what is there in other MMOs, like The Lord of the Rings Online.
You get 3 “free” tabs for gear (both armor, jewelry, and weapons) in your inventory screen. These tabs aren’t actually holding the items, but just like references to the items in your inventory/bank, so you can have the same item in more than one tab.
When you switch tab and click on “Equip”, the game equips that gear in those slots.
You can rename the tabs (each tab also has a different colored background, for quick visual identification).
You can buy more tabs from the in-game store, up to 10 or so.
They used the same system for cosmetic outfits (transmogs in other games). You had 1 free cosmetic tab that you could “Display” or “hide”, that made the look of the gear be overriden by whatever you had placed on the cosmetic tab.
You could buy up to 9 extra cosmetic tabs from the in-game store.
I am pretty suprised that AGS didn’t look at how other MMOs solved these common quality-of-life issues when developing this game.
