Hello, I know this might be a bad moment to suggest as you are probably very busy with bug fixing and such.
I love the new console inventory interface and I think it would work great with Mouse & Keyboard too.
Full screen inventory and being able to multiselect and move items between characters is an invaluable QoL that would remove a lot of the tediousness of managing items in the late game in particular. (Example: I just looted a bunch of consumables with one character but I want to redistribute them quickly among the characters that can better use them).
It wouldn't need to be a definitive change, maybe have an "expand/collapse inventory" button that let's you switch between the two interfaces.
It's also way slicker looking and readable than having to scroll down to show all the items like now.
Thanks for your hard work!

Agreed, a fullscreen Inventory toggle for KB+M users would be nice, and a bit easier to see your whole party's stuff at once instead of needing to scroll. It's not strictly necessary, but it would be nice to have.

Yeah, I would also love a more compact version of the equiment tab in the style of this new fullscreen inventory that shows just the equipment for all the characters at once, without the stats.

When I played I was finding myself costantly in the situation in which you loot, for example, a magic-oriented armor piece and having two "mages" I had to swap through the menus a lot to decide to whom I should have equipped that item.

In short I think equiment and inventory interfaces should be focused on showing you only one between the equipment or inventory information but for all the characters at once, instead of showing both the equiment and inventory information but for (pretty much) a single character, especially since in this game you'll often be thinking about the interaction between the members of your party rather than one member at a time.

Again it wouldn't need to be a definitive change since this is too a kind of interface you could toggle on and off and I think it would work well together with the fullscreen inventory.

This is aimed to smoothen all the tedious work which kinda breaks the immersion of this beautiful game. It's not a big problem but if you play long sessions like I like to do the amount of clicking and menu-ing you have to do to do simple stuff becomes a bit exhausting.

I'm conscious this is more on the wishful thinking side as it's not as simple and immediate as just allowing the console interface in the M&B mode.
