Highlight imp. debuff icons, and show cause of death

[Peter34]

I can see that at least one dev is very fond of the monochrome tendencies of the Skyrim game interface, but when it comes to 7D, some debuffs really do need to call more attention to themselves. Especially the Bleeding Debuff, since that one often kills noob players, sometimes repeatedly, without the players coming to realize [I]why[/I] they keep dying. Instead of all Debuff icons being white and non-animated, very serious ones should be red and possibly even blinking. Also, some Debuffs and some "debuffs" come in degrees, for instance Leg Injury or Food Smell. Yet these always use the same icon, whether the Leg Debuff is the smallest possible or the level 4 one at the other end of the scale, and similar for Food Smell, you get the same icon whether you're merely carrying Corn Bread or Blueberries, or if you're lugging around freakin' Raw Venison. The whole imitating-Skyrim thing just isn't working. 7D is a survival game, Skyrim [I]isn't[/I]. Secondly, to help noob players learn the game so they can stop being noobs, cause of death should be shown (e.g. on the respawn choice screen, and also in the onscreen chat log), at least in some cases. The case I have in mind is dying when subject to a Bleeding Debuff, as we have video evidence of noob players repeatedly failing to understand that (proving that the game interface is less player-friendly than it ought to be), but there may be one or two other existing Debuffs that warrant such considerations. Or perhaps other causes of death not related to Debuffs. Come to think of it, it might be useful if a third "inventory type" screen is added to the game. Currently the "I" Inventory screen has two tabs, one for Crafting and one for Clothes Worn (both show the actual inventory at the lower half of the screen). To this one could perhaps add a third screen, showing States & Stats. Right now I can get a mouse-over text from my various Debuffs,or the Coffee Buff, if I pause the game (Inventory or similar) and hover the mouse cursor over the various icons. I use the larger ones on the left side of the screen, rather than the tiny one further to the right. But it could be nice to have an actual States & Stats screen that spells out the effects of the most important 4 or 5 Debuffs/Buffs affecting my character at that time, in plain text without me having to mouse over any icons.
