I am in my Power Armor , and I love how the HUD at the bottom of the screen looks and it is screaming out how Bethesda took the whole Translucent Visor Info look from inside body armour's helmet from the Iron Man films.

So we have:

1. PA damage indicator which only shows - [Orange] telling you its okay until...... [Red] shortly followed by [Hollow and Knackered]

Seriously futuristic armor can't tell us more about its degradation and so forcing us to check our inventory as to the damage levsls. Jeez I remember playing Mechwarririor games over 20 years ago and the HUD showed a number of colors to give a more realistic on-screen indication of how much you was damaged in each area - THIS GAME IS 2015 AND WE GET ORANGE......... RED/HOLLOW !!!

2. Compass - It is simply.... A Mess.

Why can you not just have NEWS marker and quests and places of interest on there that you have selected in your pipboy?? WHY OH WHY DO WE NEED TO SEE A JUMBLE OF ICONS LITTERING IT UP??

3. And this is my Biggest problem with the HUD

WHY CAN'T WE SEE ICONS (FOR EXAMPLE ABOVE THE CRAPPY ARMOR DAMAGE) TO SHOW ACTIVE EFFECTS LIKE MED-X???

I use a drug and I don't care I don't have a timer for it, but an icon in the heat of battle to let me know it is still active would make sense.

I think each section of armor on the HUD should gradually diminish like a health bar, with orange depleting slowly until it is empty and then fills to red which will deplete at a faster rate.

Or simply have a single depletion of orange with the last 25% turning red.

The more I read your threads, the more I'm convinced survival type games are not for you. Pretty much everything you complained about is hand holding that is not only unnecessary, but out of place in a survival game. You have no concept of suspense do you?
