Problem

Star Wars Outlaws combines RPG-inspired systems such as map navigation, combat HUD, lockpicking puzzles, and syndicate reputation. While immersive, several interfaces risked overwhelming players or reducing clarity during key interactions.

Outcome

• Map & Navigation: Atmospheric but cluttered, making routes hard to read in dense areas.
• Combat HUD: Clear in 1v1 fights, but overloaded when multiple enemies appeared.
• Lockpicking Puzzles: Created tension but lacked gradual onboarding.
• Reputation Menus: Reflected long-term impact but needed stronger visual hierarchy.

Learnings

• RPG-style interfaces must balance immersion and usability – too much detail harms clarity.
• Mini-games require step-by-step onboarding to avoid early frustration.
• Reputation systems benefit from clear visual feedback, helping players understand choice impact.
