Ui looks terrible
Any plans changing it? Modern techno look with grey palette for a fantasy crpg? I get that this is ea but good ui is so very important for this genre.

Yeah, that's my biggest gripe so far. Personally I hope it will change, would like a bit more fantasy/medieval look myself

The only colourful thing in the game is the UI.

Those magic spell icons really stand out. The rest of the game is a mucky grey-brown-green.

If that's your biggest gripe, then I'd say they're doing pretty well. UI would be easy to spruce up.

Simplicity is sometimes nice, too. Endless Legend is well-known for its simple, but classy UI.

I think that's the look they were going for.

Its a way of a modern Ui. The CEO of Solasta like this more then the stylish. So the game is in Early Access and not final. By the way i like the clear style

Yes, I liked it in Endless Legend, suited that game more. Just like an UI that is more like the setting in the game I'm playing. But not a terrible big deal.
Having fun in this game as I have had so far in BG3 :)

On the contrary. This is a UI made by People who understand UX principles. The very opposite of early Paradox games :D.

UI is very good.

A fantasy styled UI like in every role playing game is really boring

Funny, I actually think the UI is very well done and I wish Larian would take some lessons, I can't stand their toolbar vomit spam

but perhaps something could be done with the color scheme or the borders of the windows to make it look more D&Dish. I get what the OP is saying, but from a functional perspective I think the UI is ace

I honesty prefer the UI to BG3. It's not as cluttered, and the large panels are easy to read. It might not be pretty, but it got great functionality.
Yes, has good functionality, but you could ad some flair to it without loosing that

I think it's just the grey backgrounds make it look a bit cheap and unfinished. Some basic texture like stone, leather, or parchment might really be all it needs.

They could learn a thing or two from BG3's UI

The UI is crisp and clean. Changing it, is not a great idea.

I like the design as well

I really like it. Clean and functional.
