The yellow dot!

I don’t see the purpose in the yellow dot while you aren’t in combat. Couldn’t it just disappear when you don’t need it?

i believe it was removed in further versions

It wasn’t. See:

It is supposed to help you to interact with objects. Should be possible to mod it out…

Yes that is for easier highlighting of objects, helps when you try to pick stuff from ground and there are multiple things at one place

okay…

I know. That’s not my point. My point is when you don’t need to interact, like when you’re riding a horse for example, it serves no purpose. So it should disappear when it isn’t needed.

It doesn’t bother me in the least, nor take away from the immersion of the game in any way either. I just pretend it’s my firefly insect companion. It’s amazing how any little detail always bothers someone!

A single option in the hud “Interaction Indiactor, enable/disable” with default enabled and all are happy.

But, you know, every option in settings is failure of designer …

Yellow dot is ok. If you, guys, can’t understand it purpose, then it’s yours problem. Try to rethink, why the designer left this in the game. :face_with_monocle:

The marker is useful and is unobjectionable during the day, but is too bright, in common with the rest of the HUD in low light conditions, where it dominates the field of view.

Did you even read my reply?

Ah-h-h, i just randomly replied to you. But, yeah, maybe you’re right about it(to hide it, when you’re riding), but i don’t think, that everyone should to focus on it rn. It’s already late for it(i guess). Just let the modders to do something, ha-ha. :sweat_smile:

Draw your bow…while you are riding… and the dot is gone… :blush:

I think you can not do in final game. They said only simplified combat and no archery.

That sucks. I think the missing combat from horses sucks the most.

No, this is a common ux-fallacy IMHO. You cannot please everyone. There are people who prefer immersion over all and will see every hud-element and action indicator as a design-failure and there are people who demand visible hud elements or action indicators and see those missing things as a design-failure.

So there is no option to please everyone besides giving an option-button.

I believe horseback archery and simplified combat was confirmed

Yes, Dan confirmed this one year ago and hopefully they didn’t remove those features.
