That makes sense. What other HUD elements do you have in mind? A general hitpoint bar and armor rating bar like Minecraft?
There’s the concept of different armor ratings and hit points for different body parts. With Deus Ex health is like, this little picture of your body with each part having its own HP. If I am not mistaken the HUD it shows colors instead of numbers, green for healthy, yellow for injured, red for really injured, and grey for dead. The numbers are on a dedicated interface.
Would you say the item persists through death or would you say the player gets a new one for free when they respawn? Can you replace/remove this default bag in normal gameplay or is it sort of like a free bag that is always with you?
