When I press the search button, I would like it to toggle (so you don't have to hold the button down) and highlight everything on the screen as it did in Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age II.
There seems to have been a design decision to change that, so these improvements will help reduce the problems I run into.
I press the search button frequently to make sure I don't miss any important items, equipment upgrades, plot items, gold, rare finds, loot, etc...
What I currently get is a yellow highlight of any interactible object nearby, including common harvestable items I have more than enough of, sign posts, and camp interactible objects.
-A big help would be some way of finding the objects on the screen faster. The yellow highlight does not distinguish the items very well when the background are yellow leaves, or the sunset, or some other common color in the current color pallet. The Cyan outline from Bauldur's Gate would work a lot better.
-If there is an item off the screen, it would be good to know what direction to move the screen to find it. Some of the pings seem random and only activate in certain areas, and it is difficult to figure out what got in the way and what didn't. Looking up is usually not the first place to check.
-It would be nice to know how many objects were detected. If I get a audible ping, and see an Elfroot, or a sign post, I may assume that is what I found, and miss the treasure chest behind me.
-It would help to have the audible ping not occur on found objects that are no longer important. Non-important items may include:
-Camp objects.
-Road Signs
-Permanent fixtures that have already been interacted with
-Harvestable materials in which we already have [100] of in inventory. (100 could be a different threshold)
If these were implemented, then purchasing the search range upgrade would not seem like a downgrade.
As it is right now, if I hear the ping, and see an Elfroot, or some camp object, then I stop searching for awhile.
With the longer range, then objects closer to permanent objects are much more likely to be missed.
