Really, while the game is wonderful and great, the inventory feels like "straight out of hell", it's unwieldy, hard to use and doesn't match the quality of the rest of the game.

As a software engineer in a team lead role who also works with UI / UX experts, I can give you a few things that I PERSONALLY would request for the inventory, but please, everybody, feel free to add to the list.

I will also add the reasoning / the problem(s) solved for each point.

--- PART A: The easily explained stuff ---

1. PLEASE give us "summed holding capacity"

This is what PF:WotR does, too. It is ultra-extremely annoying and feels like a chore to shift stuff around all the time to avoid the "encumbered" state. The current implementation doesn't have even the slightest positive contribution to fun or engagement, it only serves to annoy the hell out of players.

I would even go as far as having a single inventory, forget the repercussions in case of "somebody leaves the party", even that would be 90% less annoying than the micromanagement that is necessary currently.

2. Please auto-send non-double-use camp supplies to camp automatically

I mean, currently you can't even pick up camp supplies from outside of containers and have them being sent to camp. Leads to characters being encumbered all the effing time and all that, this is just painful.

3. Please mark "vendor trash" as "vendor trash" automatically

Micromanagement. Needless clicking. Wares is wares, game knows what stuff is useful and what not.

4. Please prevent us effectively from selling quest items AND un-questitem questitems if they are not needed anymore

Should be obvious. I would even go as far as having a separate tab in inventory for quest items.

5. Item type for filtering: camp outfits (PLEASE)

Obvious, too. For filtering, etc... but also read below, please.

6. Let us equip items in camp to characters not currently in the party AND include (as an option) items in camp stash to selectable options while in camp

Obvious, I guess.

7. Please let us filter out, not only filter in - AND make "currently equipped" out-filter-able as well

Sometimes we want to see everything except "x".

8. Search function for stuff in inventory

"Hey, where are my Fireball scrolls?"

--- PART B: The more complicated stuff ---

So, this is where things get juicy and this is often also for advanced players in some cases, therefore I will explain what the use case would be.

1. Give us ability to custom-tag items by type (example: "tags for all arrows", "tags for all explodey bottles", "tags for all Arrows of Fire") and search for them

So, here's a few use cases:

a) I may want to tag all high end scrolls with "s***_hits_the_fan"
b) Someone may want to tag all "morning routing preparatory stuff" with "coffee" (example: potion of speaking to animals)

2. Give us ability to send all items with a certain tag automatically to camp, to "vendor trash" category, etc...

Example use cases:

a) I may want to send all the infernal iron I may ever find to a certain character (lets keep the spoilers at bay, shall we)
b) I may want to keep "arrows of displacement" for later

3. Tags as tabs, with multiple tags in a single tab

Yes, this is Excel-like, but trust me, I use software in my daytime job with similar functionality and it helps A LOT.

Conclusion:

Dear Larian Studios, your games are wonderful and amazing and I love you very much, but inventory management needs a lot of love. It would help your great Divinity Engine a lot for future games, too, if you would improve the (currently) abysmal inventory managment and bring it to a really ergonomic, 2023 style, standard.
