The inventory system outside of being on the normandy when you cannot access your squadmates works fine for me. Takes less than a minute to sell all the crap you want to sell, since I just go by the number pretty mch, I sell everything less than X
Though since maxing out the gold I just omnigel everything. thats pretty easy aswell, just go to the item on any character, scroll down the list and start the Y/A treatment until your up to the items you want to keep.
I never realy let the system bother me, not sure what you are trying to do with it that makes it so anoying.
I agree...I honestly could not imagine that people would be complaining about the inventory system if not for message boards....I could see the pop-up, and maybe the elevators being issues (Although, I can't see what the difference between an elevator and a loading screen is....the game has to load somehow).
The only thing that makes it frustrating is that it's not really on one unified screen (In other words, you have to either go to lockers or have them in your party outside the ship)....it's inconvenient, but certainly not difficult by any means. I enjoy the customization quite a bit, the common theme in many games these days is to add silly minigames (Even Mass Effect has that button thing), but to me, this is a "minigame" in and of itself, and I love it. People aren't talking about the OUTSTANDING IMPROVEMENTS this system had over the Kotor games, the most recognizable one being how easy it is to tell which weapons/armors are better then others with the simple numbers and red/yellow bars. One thing I absolutely hated about Kotot was how odd it was picking the most powerful weapons. More often then not, it was just a bunch of weird numbers like "+ 18 - 15" or something like that...I never could tell if my lightsabers were correct, it's pretty easy to tell what you need to have in Mass Effect. The 150 item thing hasn't get me once, it warns you around 130, and even then, I've only been warned twice. The fact that money is "imbalanced" with "nothing to buy" (What exactly are people looking to buy, btw? I can't for the life of me think of anything to buy but weapons and armor) is actually an advantage in conjunction with the inventory system, as I find myself just omni-gelin the shit out of stuff after I got around 2 million.
The game also got rid of quite a bit of customization, shit like glasses, belts, arm bands, left handed weapon, right handed weapon, droid shields, etc etc etc that was in Kotor is gone now. On one hand I liked this stuff, as I said, I do love the customization, but on the other hand, this crap was redundant, and I like that I can spend a lot more time looking intricately at each character in ME, as opposed to Kotor, where I just sorta half assed it most the time and just made sure everyone had
something. In ME, I can make sure that characters have upgrades that suit the weapons, and style of how I use them. Stability/Accuracy is a must for sniper guys, I go for the power in Shotguns, and try to lessen the overheating on pistols/AR....works nicely for me.
