how about gettext? i want to phase out things that dont need to use it
without having to think too hard about always answering no to that question.
Its mostly just a convenience, single spell depends are admitedly
a bit trivial, providers can be more interesting though.
Theres also a bit more to this than just the user definable default
answers, with the commit-depends-on-success code if the user bails
out of depends inquisition they lose all the answers they gave and
have to re-enter them. Which I think is inconvenient. In the old
scheme we inserted the answer straight into DEPENDS_STATUS, so they
didnt lose the answers, but the database became inaccurate. So in
a way this feature could fix that interface regression.
It would be nice to pull out the default answers with a little more
intelligence. We could for example check if a spell is going to be
cast, a provider has already been selected, if theres an existing answer,
if theres a left over answer, or a default choice. We could also have a
threshold of when to query the user.
Theres a fairly large number of directions one can go for this and
I havent figured out the best way to do it, but i think it would be
nice to have a way to lower the number of questions a user can get
(if they want). It makes the system more powerful and less cumbersome
IMO.
