I think you lost me. My point is that it is unrealistic to haul tons of items around on you, and it is boring and tiresome to manage so much inventory, and for what purpose? To sell it for gold so I can buy better gear. Right?

So why not take that whole video games element out of it? Just let me have certain equipment slots. That's all I can carry. Let me find more gold while adventuring instead so I can buy better gear rather than waste SO much time selling a ton of useless gear first. Then make it so if I do find some really cool gear I don't want to wear but I don't want to lose I can send it to camp for storage.

Add to that a Search Room button so I don't have to play a Hidden Objects game on every inch of the game map and viola. Fast, simple, easy item management with pretty much the same end result.

That way, you don't have the Skyrim meme where the character is carrying tons of stuff, picks up a flower and falls over. Lol.
