Always show health bars of nearby enemies

The game has an option to show health bars on enemies you have damaged. It would be great if the game would also always show health bars on nearby enemies (when the mentioned option is enabled). Sometimes its hard to tell there are mobs near you (cause of the crystal clear visuals) and pop you go. Especially with all the added text you must read on objects (i.e. you think you are safe, you start reading and boom, there was something near you after all).

Half a screen would be fine, 1/3 of the screen would be IMO the minimum.

health bars are always a strong indicator that game designers gave up on a certain point and went for the easy and ugly solution with less hassle

Well it would be nice to know what is going on on the screen, can't argue that. But with the health bars of enemies its easy to tell when there is something near you.

I feel they've done a great job of making very visible a lot of the heavy hitting abilities from monsters. When I started playing crap would regularly take off 75% of your HP/ES and you wouldn't even see it.

But overall visibility on the screen is worse than before. There is just so many particles for monster effects, its chaos more than anything. Would of course be good if that is fixed. I doubt it will be though.

i totally agree with you that visibility on the screen is a serious issue.

i'm also at a total loss with the cheap "battle blur" they implemtented with betrayal and degen ground effects + invisible small critters that can substantially hit you all do work as a substantial difficulty increase for me too.

but killing immersion by letting every enemy have a fugly health bar can't be the solution for this issue.
