Anyone here got any interesting interfaces that is custom tailored towards bettering the roleplaying experience? And if that is the case perhaps someone would like to share profiles or educate others on how they have improved their UI to make the roleplay even more immersive.
I only know of a handful of addons, of which I am only using one
I just prefer the vanilla UI as it doesn’t clutter up the screen as much.
I’m using ElvUI and of course Total RP / Listener and the likes, I saw a nice addon called rp:tags that ties ElvUI and Total RP together. But it seems a bit complicated, but you can get something like this

My time to shine! I’ve been using a custom created ElvUI catered to RP specifically for the past couple of years.
The design philosophy behind it, simply put, is to reduce the amount of actual UI to a bare minimum for a more immersive experience.
This is what I have come up with in practice:

The first screenshot features the core of it. A large chatbox in the center. I’ve found that clicking off unwanted effects is something that you need to do from time to time in RP, that’s why buffs are also present in the top right. Core add-ons, like TRP, are available under the chat box.

If you target someone, you will then see a 3d portrait to the left, with the TRP bar anchored to the bottom of the portrait. I also use the listener addon to see the last lines of my target, featured the the broad box at the top of the screen. To the right there is a secondary chatbox that was hidden in the first image, used for gchat most of the time.
Sadly the 3d portraits in ElvUI behave differently from what they used to in the past and I had trouble to find a setting that shows all races from a decent angle at a decent size.
P.S.: I also use kui nameplates and the TRP extension for kui in order to see the actual RP name above the head of my targets and not the character name.
That looks very clean, and seems you have tailored it quite nicely to be more focused on the RP at hand than everything else that does not need to be seen.
I keep it absolutely simple:

Almost everything hidden outside a battle with various addons, hovering over them will make them visible
Can’t recommend this enough - I really do enjoy seeing people’s in-character names above their head as opposed to another really random & large single word above their head like “Emnity” or “Inadequacy”
What does that even mean in regards to your character??? …
That’s a thing?! To the download!
