Giving custom names to items; ability to lock any kinda item not to consume accidentally; others

Vaelithra_Sundergale
Giving custom names is not a luxury but; necessity when we talk about potions. You can make lots of different "Health" potions with different ingredients and effects but; their logo and name will stay same regardless. We should be able to give custom name to an item (or items such as potion x72 etc.). I want to know which potion I should use in that specific time.

This is actually problem about food buffs and exp scrolls. I suffered from it countless times. Just give us to ability to lock that item or item package like we can with gear pieces.

In addition, we should be able to give our skills custom names. Nobody calls fatecarver as "Fatecarver". Everybody calls it as "Laser". I want to change its name to "Laser" for practicality.

Lastly, I want to be able to change actual skill icon color. For example, you have unlocked a skill style and activated new custom color. We should be able to see new customised skill's icon in our skill bar not regular one.

Give us right to combine separate motif pieces into one book or vice versa. This makes it easier for us to contain and sell them.

Give us right to stack ***(exactly same)*** writs; they invade lots of space.

Give EVERY PLAYER junk bag. Junks are problematic; they invade lots of space. {Junks are the items only meant to be sold to vendors to get money. They have no other purpose}

    In addition, we should be able to give our skills custom names. Nobody calls fatecarver as fatecarver. Everybody calls it as "Jesus Beam". I want to change its name to Jesus Beam for practicality.

    I've never heard it called that, and it's my opinion that name would be inappropriate.

    Jesus Beam is NOT Farecarver but traditionally the Templar skill Radiant Oppression :D

    I agree with the need for potions to have, or be given, different names. Its too easy to accidentally get them mixed up, and you sure don't want to mix up tristat with only health potions, or heroism pots with only magicka pots.

    I don't agree with being able to change skill names - players in group content need a common language for skills so it makes sense for them to only have their actual name.

    @BloodRedHurricane as you have chosen to make your profile private(which is fine btw) we cannot see how long you have been playing.

    I get the feeling you are either relatively new, or maybe getting truly immersed for the first time. A lot of what you want changed has been around for a long time and we therefore know how to deal with it!

    If you are on PC there are many addons that will solve your wants and needs, if you are on console hopefully that is now catching up!

    Junkbuster addon will solve your junk issues, the recent change to Master Writs and Surveys mean they do now stack until you choose to open them.

    Potion names have always been problematic, especially as some useful potions can have the same names as potions with actual damaging effect, for that you just need to always check and be aware.

    Many of the things you want changed have always been as they are, changes have been asked for pretty often but at this point it is unlikely to happen! :)

    I disagree. Jesus Beam is, and ever will be Templar's Radiant Destruction. Thank you

    As for potions I'd love the ability to lock or rename Heroism potions (and others). I'm sure whoever runs the writ supply chain has enjoyed mine on more than one occasion when they expected plain ole magicka potions

    Ok, Jesus Beam thingy is my misunderstanding it seems. Shame on me but; what about other things?

    Thank you for your suggestions but; leaving everything to the addon creators is not a professional move if you ask me.

    I agree to the potions either the devs could change them or we should be able to rename them for clarity's sake.
