So in my latest play-through (I hadn't played since Patch 8 came out, loving the Pallys so far), I realized just how many keys are in the game.

Two things. One... after a key is used for the lock that it is used for... it should just disappear from inventory. Why keep a slot for something you don't need anymore. Also, for keys that you still need, there should be a "key ring". One of my favorite games of all time Jagged Alliance 2 (albet with a community mod) had what was called a "key ring". This is a simple sub inventory icon that held all the keys you found in the world without it being in regular inventory.

You can see it next to the dollar icon in this screen shot in the link below.

Just a thought.
