Summary0008318: "You picked up an enchant" is shown multiple times
DescriptionWhen I start a new (Advanced) game, I want to run around the settlement, pick up all the enchants, and then decide which to equip. But the game sees that I don't have any equipped and thinks I need to be told about enchants again.

Working as intended! New players click through stuff because they think they know how to play, and then later are lost. The reminder next time they get an enchant is to let them actually stop and read that time if they still haven't equipped anything.

There must be some way to ensure new players learn about enchants without making it frustrating for returning players to start a new world.

Three ideas:

* Eliminate the pickup dialog. Instead, show a banner across the screen, like the "Mission Victory" banner. The message can be short: "Press J to equip enchants".

* Eliminate the pickup dialog. Instead, refuse to let the player leave town until they've equipped an enchant or three.

* Add a "Don't show this again" checkbox.

Yeah, I already did the latter one in the release notes. :)
