Bestiary QOL Rework

Current state of bestiary makes it hard to want to play with this mechanic. I have no visibility into my menagerie unless I am painfully, tediously going through the captured beasts so a valuable one isn't overwritten with a worthless one. Suggestion:

Make all beasts captured drop as Bestiary orbs, which can be loot filtered. This allows the player to fill out his menagerie according to their purpose.

This is pretty much all you need to do to make this mechanic appealing.

Strange, I almost posted this exact request yesterday. Itemize the beasts in-map.

Hard pass.

Having beasts drop as itemized loot only adds unnecessary friction, clogging inventory space during mapping because you now have to reserve slots just to carry them. That’s not QoL, it’s the exact opposite.

What would actually help is increasing the Menagerie’s limit to near infinite, or giving players the option to expand it with gold, similar to how Delve handles its upgrade system.
Better yet, add a proper filtering system so Einhar automatically keeps the beasts you want and does whatever he’s best at with the rest.
But in practice, a soft filter already sort of exists through player behavior, since players farming beasts simply skip undesired ones anyway, meaning nothing uninteresting really ends up filling the Menagerie’s slots in the first place.

Turning beasts into item drops and making players click every single one doesn’t create meaningful interaction, it just turns the whole league mechanic into even more tedium than it already is.

But that being said, being totally realistic, the whole league mechanic needs a redo to feel fun again. This league is from 2018 and is long overdue for a complete rework, as they sure can do a lot better by now, or optionally replace it with something newer and more stable.
