About that thing having to pick up a Weapon/Shield/Consumable again to see what type it is ...
You got me thinking here. Now, the primary reason it has been implemented this way, is that the Classic Kalawaum, which this game is based on, handled it this way. Actually I've once had an iteration, where I was displaying the actual Weapon/Shield/Consumable-Class lying on the ground, but it looked bad and cluttered and was too much information to process with one glance, and then I also liked how you had to remember certain stuff to play effectively.
Thus was gaming in the 90s. Now, the more I think about it, hitting a healthy middleground between Aesthetics, Retro-Tribute and modern day QoL-concession might be appropriate. Having some ideas here, I think I'll make it so, that after having used the Map, for the remainder of the turn ALL Items around you will display their actual Class!
Would still be reasonable restrictive, because in every Region you have to find the Map first AND activate all Lightsources to use it effectively, and using the Map also costs a Turn so you can’t just repeatedly hit [M] during Combat, but outside of Combat this feature would become a cool ability like Detective Vision in WITCHER 3, lol.
