Rework inventory

[Oobaneko]

Please, make inventory not just 4 slot for items, but some kind of "case" like in Resident evil, where we can have many small items and few big items. For example, 4x3 cells intentory, so we could, take more than 4 small objects like brilliants. I got the case, on crime scene I've found 3 disks and 2 brilliants. Disks is bigger than brilliants.

There is a SyncDisk that can increase inventory capacity.

I agree that we should make it a "case-like" inventory because it would help with the immersion as well as let the player know what is really worth bringing.
The sync disk can can increase the size of this case in this mechanic

Edit: Another good way to implement the inventory system is instead of it being a case it could be the player's trenchcoat
Where you could go to a local tailor and use money to add additional pockets and even the look of the trenchcoat (if they were to add a clothing system)

It's problem not with inventory being small, but with immersion that small objects and big objects uses one slot. One of reasons why Re4 were cool - it's case inventory with that tetris you done. Yes, there are auto-sort, but it's fun to do it yourself. One of reasons why people didn't like so much Re5 - broken immerision and inventory with sniper rifle takes same space as some herbs.

Exactly. Shadow of Doubts focus on immersion, so even inventory must be such too.

Was thinking this exact thing. This game is BEGGING for a cool RE4 attach case inventory.

This game gives off strong deus ex vibes, absolutely should have a more oldschool inventory

I would be happy if I could put things directly into my hands without them occupying an inventory slot (until I put them away). It so embarassing when I have to dump a stolen diamond or something just to buy and immediately drink a kola.

Agree that the inventory is needlessly stingy and that a Deus Ex style inventory would be a lot nicer.

I agree. The inventory is needlessly tiny and needs a rework. It's good that there's a way to increase it (if you can find it). But they need to give you more to start with. And have objects take up different amounts of space.

Perhaps even add a "belt" where you can put things like handcuffs and a gun and a few other common use items. Then the inventory is stuff that you've got stashed in your coat or something.

The inventory when fully upgraded gives you a good amount of space to work with unless you want to pilfer valuables. I like the idea of a trench coat and maybe having dedicated pockets? Like you can fit one weapon (start small and upgrade to eventually be able to hold a sword or something), two pockets for valuables (think synth disks, stolen loot, misc items), and three pockets for gadgets.

Maybe you could start the player off with the same sized inventory they have now but through upgrades (and the synth systems) you can augment the clothing to fit more and maybe provide certain bonus' to stealth.

A slider for starting inventory space like there is for starting cash and lockpicks would be awesome.

The main issue is finding the inventory upgrade sync. If it was always available, then it wouldn't be as bad.

Fr this game reminds me so much of deus ex. The stealth mainly.
