Heads-Up Display

Overview:
The HUD, or head-up display, is the collection of icons, symbols, and information that appears on the screen when playing the game where the player can monitor some of their character's needs, status effects, and other vital details crucial to gameplay. The HUD can be fine-tuned in the Realism settings menu to customize a player's gameplay experience - different HUD elements can be added or removed to the player's liking. For example, Vitality points are shown on the HUD at all times by default, but can be removed for a more challenging gameplay experience. Alternatively, the Vitality points don't need to removed entirely, and can even be set to fade out when not taking damage.
