I heard that inventory management and transferring items between party members is a chore, which is a shame since it's something that PF games have already solved - shared inventory space for all party members. It makes it so much more convenient and fun to use than the mess DOS games had.

  • you can hit tab to see all inventories and drag/drop
  • you can right click anything to send to camp or to any party member
  • you can have as many containers as you want for your gear

Inventory management is the easiest of any RPG and doesn't rely on 3rd party tools to manage (e.g. Destiny's abysmal design, or lack of I should say)

I haven't noticed it being an issue. When you loot an item you can send it to a specific character and if you want to move lots of things you can hit tab, see the whole party and drag and drop items from inventory to inventory. Maybe it gets worse later on, I'm only 20 hours in.

I've been playing on "console" (SteamDeck) so I know the UI is different but the issue I've found is that there are three different "inventory" options and two different "loot" options, and each behaves a little differently.

For example if I loot a corpse, you're right I can send to a specific party member. However if I loot a chest, that has to go to me.

Similarly when I the character sheet inventory view I can sort by certain methods and then L3(?) to exit that menu. If I'm selling something it's still (L3?) to open that menu, but B to exit it. Also the sorting options aren't the same. Also switching between characters during a trade event is one button. However switching on the character sheet is three buttons. There is also a third lesser used "put in device" menu with even fewer sorting options and you can't switch characters.

The game is excellent and you can get used to these things but I do sometimes have to spend time just sorting things.
