[Suggestion] Improve Options Menu

Great amount of choices, but needs organization

from Elemental Forums

I love all of the various options in the Menu options screen, but there's not much organization/grouping currently, just a list of lots and lots of choices to toggle.

Some suggestions on improving it:

*Remove unnecessary descriptors, like Enable, Show, Use, etc. The checkbox implies this already and there would be much less text to have to wade through.

*Put all like items together, like UI, saving, movement, mods, etc.

*Have tooltips for each option, as several aren't explanatory by themselves.

They really need tooltips. I remember asking for tooltips in the Elemental options menu over a year ago, they never showed up afaik :|

It would be excellent to see this improved. I get the impression some of these may be in here to determine what choices people are using and then make them the default and/or to make things easier for the devs. Either way, if they'll end up staying for the final version it would be great if there was some organization applied. I've seen some really elegant options menus from other games and can't imagine this would be a large task just to reorder things (hopefully).
