Equipment window: I think there should be a window that shows what is equipped on your character, instead of having to search in the inventory for the items that are 'Equipped' or 'Not Equipped'. This would help visualize all the character's equipped items much better, and checking the stats of each would be much easier. This could be incorporated in the 'Stats' window. It should also be made easier to compare one new item to an already equipped one. Clicking on an item in the inventory could show the stats of your equipped item of the same corresponding slot, allowing you to quickly compare their stats. If the character equipment window were to be implemented, we could go even further and add a secondary one, but this time, for Aesthetics/looks purpose: -Equipments placed on the regular slots would be the ones where stats count. -If you equipped an item on the 'Aesthetics' slots, it would replace the model/art of the "real" equipment piece. -If no item was equipped in the 'Aesthetics' slots, it would show the already existing model of the item. -Normal items (with stats and everything) placed on the 'Aesthetics' slot, would simply behave like a cosmetic item. -It makes it SO EASY to switch and swap, change our looks the way we want in a simple way. -You could simply toggle between the two types of equipment window, or just place the secondary slot next to the default one, so you can see both at the same time. -There would be ONE limitation. Weapons such as a sword should only be able to be visually modified to look like ANOTHER sword. You shouldn't be able to turn a sword into a staff, for example. That would turn things weird, such as attacks and classes. I read somewhere that fusing items was in consideration, and I immediately thought that could mean keeping the stats of one item, and the look of another item. But that would Bind items to each other, taking away freedom, the freedom to experiment with our looks. In many games where it was possible to fuse items like that, and it was cool to have, but... it felt very punishing if players to wanted a certain look. Every time you found an upgrade with better stats, you had to go miles to get another copy of the cool looking item, in order to fuse again. This way you can swap around and see what looks best, without being afraid of having to farm all the time. Make it fun! :D And if you were to add recoloring to some items, then you would have a Dream Customization! One last thing, Having a character equipment window could also serve as way to store items, instead of keeping them in the inventory/bag, eating away precious space.
