The UI is getting redone, not for A21 I don't think though. It was mentioned in the interview Rick and Joel did recently

This.
Please add it to the many "messages" we already receive like buffs/debuffs and stuff.
Now, it is so embarassing when you hop into your gyro and then (3rd person view) realize that you weren't wearing any pants since probably the last couple of days.
...and damn it's cold down there when you take off.

Meh, I don't want more HUD clutter. It can already get crazy as it is. I'd prefer if the left side of my screen isn't full of icons. Maybe a tooltip that pops up or something. Or at least maybe some more options added to toggle bits of the hud, or at least be able to set things to hide after some time. Get a broken leg? The buffs panel pops onto screen along with the tooltip to let you know what happened. Then after 5 or so seconds the buff panel hides again. I'd be okay with that. I just prefer a minimalist HUD and the current buff panel can take up too much space as is.

I think they mentioned some UI changes for A21. Been a while since I watched the posted interview but I am nearly certain it was mentioned.

How are you so sure? From what I've seen that was just Prime's build for testing a21 Twitch stuff in a20.

Will the pregen maps be regenerated for A21? I am thinking they will be, but I just wanted to double check.
Surely. What use would the pregens have if they didn't have the new buildings.

I hope lockpicking would be made more interactive at some point. It doesn't feel like skill applies at all.
There was a much more interactive idea shown back here in A15 (though lockpicking took a few more versions before it came as what we have now).
Note: I mean on safes. I agree with lockpicking not working on the doors (even though this video shows doors). I just like the mechanism used here versus the one we have for lockpicking now. Sadly this version never made it to a public build it looked so much more interactive and fun.

Worrying to say the least. With hearing about the strong chance that we may not even get the phase one bandits in Alpha 21 it brings back bad memories from the Alpha 17 development cycle lol. Holding out hope though, as you guys have been putting out strong updates the past few years and that does count in your favor.

The fact lockpicking on doors doesn't work is certainly vexing. I can use timed charges to blow them open, why can't I pick them?
And I agree with you on the lockpicking skill not seeming to apply. I never bother with putting points into it because I always seem to break picks at the same rate - in fact, they seem to break immediately a lot more often with the skill. It's worthless.

Past is not gonna be back, we look forward for what is gonna be better, I can`t just say "the longer the better" (because reasons...I mean SG), but it will worth it. It always does.
