buffs on screen

Post » Fri Dec 09, 2011 2:40 pm

Just want to see if anyone ells agrees that it would be nice to have our buffs that have a time to them be displayed on the screen. Make a little icon that shows it just above the health bar.

I would have to agree its not game breaking by any means but Im pretty sure Oblivion and Morrowind did this could be wrong though..but yeah Id like to know when something is in effect or about to run out is all.

That, or make the active effects menu more easily accesible. I have to agree, though I've gotten used to it by now. It's only really bothersome for mages (alteration buffs, potions...).

I don't mind really, I check active effects regularly, but it would be nice :P

I do agree, but, with current skill level taken into account when you make that potion/poison/buff it would be a hard bit of code I imagine (no idea tbh) 1-100% / 1-500 seconds............

Im pretty sure the game already has code for this...thats how the game knows when your buffs run out. Adding a timer would simply display what the game already knows. It would be an easy mod to write.
