Impressions about v08.
Really happy to see QOL improvements coming our way. My computer no longer runs hot thanks to the frame-limiter.
1) Journal order above the journal interface is wrong. The new feature for the quick journal swap - the order is wrong. On the floor the purple journal is on the left, and green is on the right. However in the interface, purple is right and green is middle. This is counter-intuitive. Please align them.
2) Apply the quick-exit journal feature to the other interfaces. The new "click anywhere outside the journal to close it" feature isn't added to the books you open on the shelf. It should also be applied to these. Would be nice if it was added to the Trader UI as well.
3) "sickly clouds" need to be exaggerated. I understand that the perfectly white clouds aren't sickly, but to me those sickly clouds look like rain clouds, and I like rain clouds. What I'm saying is, you left too much to interpretation there. Perhaps show pictures on this site what sickly looks like vs good ones to clarify things. Perhaps make them green or something.
3.1) Really hard to see the weather/difficulty when fully barricaded. Wish I could maybe mouse over the window and see an unobstructed view, or click on it.
4) Polaroid Bug. Sent two girls out, and both got attacked. Thing is, the polaroid that appears on-screen...well they both appeared in the exact same spot, at the same time. Meaning: I could only see one of them. I only realized there was a second one behind the first, because the first faded away. I could see the second one for an instant during that fade. These either need to spread out on-screen or wait to appear until the other is done.
5) Items from exploration appear in the house before the explorer even returns. This was present in v7 and is in v8 as well. Not a big deal, but odd.
