Why?  A scrolling list of tracks or character is easy to do - and common
even in console games.  I don't see where it's a mess.

Again, why?  MWS makes it easy to change any, all or none of those things
and be back playing again in one more mouse click.  SWS utterly sucks
if you want to change more than the obvious one or two things the game
designer THOUGHT you wanted to change.

I don't see that's a problem.  If the options are not something
you want to change, don't change them and they'll be the same they
were last time you played.
