Being able to freely trade items might be an EA thing they are testing out.
That said, if they add inventory lock during combat, people will just save scum even more than they are doing right now.
Oh, this cutscene triggers a fight. Reload and change gear.
Oh, there are three archers there who shoot flaming arrows at the explosive barrels? Reload and give everyone a potion of fire resistance.
It might give some players the illusion that they are locked out of some choices but in the end, we're back to BG2 where you scouted ahead. Died. Reloaded and then got the party ready with whatever they needed before you even turned the corner. Gorion's Ward was the textbook definition of the meme: I'm already four parallel universes ahead of you.
