Just a thought!
Integrate a summary tab detailing positive and negative effects of weapons and armor: Split in two categories: 1) Weapons and 2) Armor. This would show “in summary” all of the positive and negative effects of armor and weapons.
For example: If you are wearing a blue helmet, this would outline the positive effects you receive from wearing that helmet in the armor category. If you are wearing a purple helmet, this would outline the positive effects you receive from wearing that helmet in the armor category PLUS the negative effects from wearing that helmet.
Having to hover all your items and memorize them gets tedious, just give me a summary of the equipped weapons & armor positive and negative effects in a listed format. This would help people build their character much easier as it’s always changing when you acquire new gear. Keep these details on the items themselves of course, but an easier way to understand the full scope of what you have equipped.
