In order to qualify this as a discussion I will simply state that I hope to see some HUD options in the game like a sneak detection eye that has a color scale (like a stoplight, but maybe with at least 5 colors), or some evidence outside of the menu when my armor has been horribly damaged (either displayed on character in 3rd person view or a color scale HUD icon once armor condition falls below x%, customizable in the .ini file).
