I love this game, and like many people I lose way too much time in my inventory (especially when I try to craft).
I wanted to start a thread, but most of the ideas here are very good.
I do agree with Koriel's post, but the following 3 points are for me top priority, and should not be to hard to implement :
Keep same item sorting/positioning in the vendor screen. I loot and steal a lot, and come back once by level to shops. So I keep the items I want to sell packed in my inventory. But in the shops, everything go random (my thief is my best seller so...).
Sort filter by item type/category. Just that. I am about to stop crafting cause it pisses me. I have to sort items by gold value or weight... so logical when you want to craft.
And please : why are some items needed in crafting not shown with components? If i want to have access to all the tools and components at the same time, I have to use the "whole inventory" display... Too much crowded.
Stacking for all identical items Whyyy?
Seriously, why some items do stack, and other ones don't? Why do I have to take each bucket one by one if I want to fill them up in a well? On the other hand I can craft 10 swords at once if I have 10 iron bars... where is the logic?
Larian, you know that if we point the inventory, it is because your game is very good in its other features. But if you want to make people happy to use your nice crafting system, please help by making the inventory less discouraging.
