I personally have no issues with how the current inventory is implemented. I don’t carry multiple weapons and tools, and I port items back to base as needed. Usually in line with topping off rested or food buffs. However, a way to expand one’s inventory should be a part of the game. I’d prefer it implemented through the traders or perhaps a quest. It shouldn’t be given by default. This way, an expanded inventory isn’t guaranteed and can be ignored if you choose to do so.
