Yeah. I think it was Diablo that had that block-based inventory, which was far more realistic in terms of having to organize stuff in certain ways. It slowed down the game and was probably the most tedious aspect.
I personally like that I can right-click and just send stuff to camp, rather than having to fast-travel all the time to dump stuff there.
My personal greatest annoyance is that you have to hunt all over camp to find your companions to change your active party. A simple menu as you leave camp, similar to DA:O, is probably the one biggest quality of life improvement I could think of for the game, and it would remove *so much* tedium.
Detailed realism is fun, but just isn't practical in a playable video game.
