I haven't seen anyone else post about this before, but surely I'm not the only one that finds the inventory in this game to be annoying, time-consuming and tedious to go through. 

 

It's one thing that makes me want to not bother picking new items up for a while. Having to scroll down numerous items to compare them and see which one is better, could have been done in a much better way.

 

I would have preferred to see items groups in a more Diablo-style inventory. Maybe one for one-handed, two-handed, bows etc.....

As well as a box to toggle items only for a specific person. I also find it annoying that it still keeps the item we currently have equipped in the list. Surely that's a bit mundane? I don't feel the need to compare the item I currently have equipped with the item I currently have equipped. I have about 20-25 rings to sort through and would find it much easier if I could just group the damn things rather than scrolling down a list that only shows me 7 at a time.

 

It would probably be better if you had an inventory box showing all the items from that group while you were on that selected party member. If you then went to another one, swords would disappear for a mage and show staves instead. I don't know how others choose, but I never remember what the hell is currently equipped on my team. I spend more of my time cycling left and right through the characters as well as through the items.

 

Surely, 8 character icons from left to right would have been a lot better than a left and right arrow which forces me to keep going back and fourth between them to then see the equipped item and decide whether to replace it. DA:I has lots of hours of gameplay, but I spend about 10% of that looking at my inventory screen.

Sorry, never had a problem with inventory system. I dump stuff I don't want to look at into Valuables, out of sight, out of mind.

When you talk about comparing, if its weapon or armor, you are almost always better off crafting instead of looting. There are a few unique items that are worth having, particularly early on, but for most of the game nothing you find is worth keeping. Just dump into valuables and sell at the nearest merchant.

The one exception is if you do a no-crafting run, but that's better if you've done a few vanilla runs first. Once you know what's worth having, you can ignore the rest. In fact, a good no-crafting run can be designed around getting you to the right loot at the right time.

I survived Mass Effect's inventory. Inquisitions is nothing.

Hear, hear. ME1 was the WORST.

LOl you have not seen bad inventory until you play Rift with all eight bag slots having 36 slot+ bags. Yep, 288 items, grey (junk) items mixed with equipment and quest items IN THE ORDER YOU OBTAINED THEM. Sort through that one, first to equip what you want, then to store what is for later, then to choose what will sell well on auction, then to sell what is junk, then what you are sending to other characters on your account or, to friends three or four times a day.

 

You'll find DAI inventory quite easy to manage. Yes Rift had auto sort and sell all grey items but, if you dislike the autosort ideas of what goes where and, don't want to sell all grey items well, have fun.

I agree I either dump it into valuables or sell it at the next available opportunity thereby it not being a problem.

Sell it all.  Nothing you pick up is worth keeping in terms of weapons or armor.  Keep the purple rings, belts and amulets though.  Those things have worth.

Lol... until this most recent expansion, World of Warcraft was even worse than that. It took them 10 years to add a bag sort option, as well as color coding to easily visually sort by item quality. For several years you had to use an addon to add the vendor price on the tooltip. Then there is the personal bank, the guild bank, and a special extra storage for keeping items you don't plan on using often (there is a withdrawal fee).

 

While all of the Dragon Age inventories could use some work, their problems pale in comparison to others I've seen.

 

For DAI specifically, I do wish there were sorting options. Name, item quality, armor rating, damage type (staves), damage, all should be options. And for 1h weapons, weapon type as well -- swords, axes, and maces all lumped together is annoying.

Oh, I totally agree, Same in Rift, guild bank, personal bank, auction house, NPC Vendors, items that can only be traded for a limited time, bound to account, bound to character, bind on equip, junk low level gear but, you might need the mats you can salvage from it, have to get it all in every class because wardrobe skinning lets you wear any appearance you want..... UGH!

 

DAI is very simple by comparison.
