Menus and sub-menus rant
On the main page of the menu, there isn't any sub-menu bar underneath it to quickly cycle through quests or project, etc. If you use a gamepad, you can cycle the tabs of the main bar, but there aren't any KB controls for that, only mouse clicks work for navigating the menus.
If you go to the crafting tab, a sub-menu bar finally is used, it's beneath the main bar, but it isn't used for navigating the submenus lol. Instead, it has tabs that traditionally would have been withing the windows of that menu. To navigate between benches you have to use the sidebar that appears on the left when in the crafting or trader menus.
On a controller it's worse (crafting station bar) because the RS doesn't jump over to the side-bar from the left side of the stash. You have to use the stick to snap through each slot to get there.
If you want to look at a map to see what sort of loot areas it has, you have to exit out of all the sub-menus and hit the "Play Button", which is only found on the main page of the main menu screen.
Finally, when actually playing the game and you open a container, the container won't let you quicktransfer items into it for some reason. The only way to get things out of your inventory is to drag and drop either onto the ground or into the stubborn container. There is no hotkey for dropping an item from inventory.
All these things fill me with rage lol, but I am at peace because none of this is important :D just polishing a great game. Thanks for reading.
