| Summary | 0009317: Giving gifts is somewhat hidden | ||||
| Description | Currently, If you want to give a gift to a settlement resident, you have to do the following: open the Planning menu, click Continent Status, click Settlement Residents, and click on a Resident; only then do you see the 'Give Gift to Character' button. For players that know how to do this, it's a bit tedious. On the other end of the spectrum, a relatively new player might open the Dispatch Menu, see the mission success/survival rates be very low, and either have no idea how to make those rates get better - or, knowing about giving gifts, have no idea how to actually give gifts to residents. I suggest that within the Jade Guardian stone, there be a button called something like 'Give A Gift to a Settlement Resident' (or maybe as simple as 'Give Gifts'). This will open the Settlement Residents window. From here, players will have to intuit that they must click on one of the resident-buttons, at which point they'll see the 'Give Gift to Character' button within that Character's profile. (There are slightly more user-friendly solutions - for example, renaming the Settlement Residents window "Who would you like to give a gift to?", when reached through that path - but I believe the solution I first mentioned would be the simplest to implement.) | ||||

I concur; it took me a good 30+ hours before I actually managed to figure it out myself, and it does feel quite tedious as it stands at the moment. I like your suggestion; it certainly would be less click-heavy, for starters, and sounds much more intuitive. EDIT: Yes, that's 30+ hours of gameplay during which I knew that gifts could be given to settlement residents, but had no clue just how to actually do so. It really is kind of well-hidden. |

Thanks! * At every level of the dispatch mission interface on the green jade guardian stone in the settlement, there is now a "Give Gifts To Survivors" button. This button takes the player to the normal view settlement residents screen, but with the title "Give Gift To Which Survivor?" |
