Misleading Perk Descriptions

[SpeedingOffence]

The way that perk descriptions are done is inconsistent.

For instance, with "Talented Instructor," in the header it says +25 Learnability, and in the body it says +25 Companion Learnability. It only does the latter.

In the perk "Employee of the Month" and "Bossy", the description in the header is what the perk actually does.

In "Adrenaline", there is no header text.

In "The Voice" and "Rising Star", there's information in both the header and the description. The perk does both.

In "The way of Potatoes", it doesn't specify a timeframe for the bonus, but there is one.

In "Savant", it doesn't state if the points given are bonus or base.

I don't mind if I make a mistake because of poor planning, but making the wrong choice because of misleading information is jarring. I'd make suggestions, but I'd have to play test all of the perks, and that'd take me dozens of hours. It'd take the devs perhaps an hour.

Can we see this fixed, please?

Short answer: translated UI descriptions are a bit lacking, but no, it won't be fixed.

The game was Russian developed, I'll take a guess that these formatting errors don't exist in the original language, only the English/other translations, so it'd be down to whoever's responsible for those foreign translations to sort it out. But...

From what I understand, the publisher is ignoring/rejecting patches from the now defunct developer. There is apparently a content patch which was ready several months (maybe a year) ago which was submitted to the publisher but hasn't been implemented or acknowledged in any way (people speculate one reason or another, nothing concrete or even if it exists).

The UI descriptions having inconsistencies and lacking important information is probably one such thing that could've been fixed in that patch, but it's unlikely we'll see any further updates to the game - from my understanding of situation.

You'll just have to work around it or ask advice from other players if something seems confusing.

The UI for descriptors is horrific in this. I will admit that. When comparing two items, the new item just needs to show its base stats but it tries to compare what the stat differences are....which is a bit confusing as to what stats you're getting with a new item etc.

So yeah willheart basically nailed it. I don't expect them to patch the translation issue and just horrific UI.
