@150,
Yes, the menus are perfectly readable with a little patience. There is generally a description of the currently-selected item so it's possible to tell what you're focused on.
Seb2314, I'm still struggling a bit here. I can't reliably find the blacksmith or the enchanter, maybe this is my inexperience with 2D navigation in these kinds of games showing? I'm not great at orienting on Everett yet, for some reason. If I had a way to tell what direction things were from me that would solve 99% of the problems, I suspect.
