Option to turn off Horse Confirmation

[Stride]

I love this game. I appreciate the concern for my flask uses. But for the love of God this is an insane UI design that makes horseback battles a bigger hassle than they should be, Hard bosses are great. Hard bosses being hard because you're wrestling with the UI are not.

It is definitely unfortunate, though Torrent is tanky enough and healing items easy enough to make and use that you shouldn't run into the situation too often. If I remember correctly it also defaults to yes, so once you know it exists just pushing confirm right away should deal with most of the delay, but I agree there should be an option of some kind to disable that prompt, for sure.

I agree. It's about time to end confirmation prompts all together. Except for maybe deleting saves. In game though, they need to do away with it. Such an early 90's thing lol.

Mine defaults to no - which seemed to be corroborated by the other threads I saw online about it. Which means I need to use the D-pad and then confirm mid-fight. Not some insurmountable obstacle but not ideal. Seems like an idiotic setup in an otherwise super fluid UI

If FromSoft really wanted to be heartless it'd read something like this:

"Resummon steed by consuming one charge of the Flask of Crimson Tears?"
( NO ) ( NO )

*In the middle of a heated battle, enemies and spirit ashes everywhere, torrent dead*
Me: Revive torrent!
Game: But sir, the flask of crimson tears!
Me: DO IT!!!

how hard is it to have common sense UI design lmfao?

You already hit the button(s) to re-summon Torrent. So why does the game ask us if we want to sacrifice a flask in the process again and again and again? It's just flat-out stupid. And it's almost like From thinks the player is stupid, or something.

+1 for this

see i'm of the mindset that you let torrent die so it's okay. i feel bad when i let him *get hurt*. what are you doing??

the only change i see as necessary is the options should be 'yea' or 'neigh'.

They won't change it. Specifically because it annoys people and gets them killed. They won't remove input locking popups either. If these things get criticized enough, then in the next game they might remove or change one of them.

The single most needed feature of the DLC.

So many boneheaded design decisions in this game. Confirmation screens when summoning your horse. Item messages disabling all control. And my biggest problem, why the hell do we not have an option to lock items from being accidentally sold or at least have a buy back feature? Every time I go to a merchant I'm terrified I'm going to lose a unique weapon permanently because of a control malfunction or an accidental slip of a finger. In a game with no manual saves, this is inexcusable.
