What if?
Let me preface this by saying I'm not that well versed into the lore of 40k, but i do enjoy the universe and this game along with other Warhammer games.
What if there was an option for light indicators on the power packs for health and armor? Would it be lore accurate?
I personally really like playing games with as less HUD elements as possible for the immersion factor and always prefer diegetic options to traditional interfaces. This game already does a great job with the interface settings but there are still some vital info missing if you go almost HUDless, namely health and armor.
Since from what i understand a space marine's power armor already logs that information, would it be viable to have indicator lights in some area (depending on each model) to represent simply health and armor states? Perhaps in Space Marine 3?
The way i envision it is just 2 lights, 1 for health , 1 for armor, fully customizable, so color = indicating percentage, you can have them off in a certain threshold, and with blinking capabilities, like blink when on wound, or blinking white for contested health etc. This would apply to battle brothers as well so you can monitor their vitals in the field.(and ofc would be able to override their settings with yours on your screen so you know what they mean)
