Prior to the Lost Weapons update in 2010, the game had a different hotbar GUI located in the bottom right hand corner. Here's a comparison of the 2 GUI's.
Personally, I like the old hotbar GUI better. I find only having 1 weapon, your gold amount, tonics, and your Sea Chest being displayed is cleaner and looks nicer than having 4 weapon slots, tonics, and the Sea Chest.
So here's my idea. You could go into the General tab, and there would be a button that says "Fancy Hotbar" (the word hotbar could be changed later if needed, it was the best word I could some up with for now). It would automatically be checked, but unchecking it would give you the old style hotbar.
However, now there's a problem! When the old hotbar was in the game, a pirate could only have 1 of each type of weapon at a time. You could press the buttons F1 through F6 in order to draw all your weapons (in the order sword, gun, doll, dagger, grenade, staff.) So here's my solution for this. After you uncheck the Fancy Hotbar option, a clickable button comes up that says "Set Weapons." If you click on it, you will be taken out of the F7 menu and into your weapons inventory. An additional GUI will appear to the left of your inventory.
You can then proceed to drag weapons of your choosing into the appropriate slots. Once you are satisfied with your selections, you can click confirm. It would take you back to the menu, where you could then exit out and have the old GUI (a restart of the game may be required, not sure.) Clicking cancel would just take you back to the menu without changing anything.
Well, that's my suggestion. I think it would be neat to see this added in TLOPO, and considering the devs have already added the old loading screen and old body types, it shows they're willing to implement old features into the game as well as new ones. If you like the suggestion be sure to let me know. If there's anything you think could be changed to make it better, leave a comment and I'll read it!
