[Idea] All party members inventory window.

Aliteri

I always wished for a window that allowed access of all 6 party members' inventory and showed their respective weight allowance, so that juggling those 6 longswords +1 between my mules er... respectful fighters was, well, more convenient.

I realize this is late for [Requests] so let this be a [Idea] for possible source-code powered modding.

@Tanthalas Move this to the "Feature Request" forum?

like the idea, could be a messy display if not properly designed but the idea seems to have merit ^^

Or, alternatively, maybe if a character tries to pick up an item but s/he doesn't have enough inventory space for it, the item would automatically end up in the inventory of another character who had enough space/weight.

It has to be displayed to which char it goes to, by the paper doll pulsing or something.

AWESOME IDEA!!!! This NEEDS to happen. Easing the burden of inventory management? YES PLEASE!

So like an overall inventory, with all weight allowances added together? It may make video game sense but part of D&D is about managing inventories.

Maybe a screen that just displays the inventory slots next to the character's portraits, with a small bit of text stating the weight limit? Nothing fancy just;
Portrait: Inventory
Portrait: Inventory
Etc >6
Or maybe Inventory:Portrait, since the Portraits are already on the right side of the screen.

No, @Aliteri's idea is to have an interface where you can see all your party members' separate inventories on the same screen, making it much easier to allocate items between them.

Ahhhh OK, yeah that's a good idea. We still don't know how open the UI is going to be to modding, but maybe a mod could solve this.

I've never had a problem, that would require such a feature.
