Why does the new inventory UI show less items on Expanded than before?

First thing everyone saw, and first thing that I am sure that annoyed people ... even me.

Keep the stacks, make inventory pane actually expanded.

Yes, just make it show four sections again. With each 35 now, we get a net gain of visibility on 40. And with our current inventory size, we would actually be able to see all of our inventory at once for the first time. That's a huge plus in my book, and offsets the fact the window would be slightly larger overall.

Retainers would work, too, since by showing four sections, we would still have just one click to access the fifth. And those who were bothered by the empty space in old view would be satisfied, since there would still be no empty space.

Why showing only two sections and making us lose visibility on 30 entire slots was the answer I will never understand.

Glad I'm not the only one annoyed by the new "expanded inventory".
Give us the option to go back to 5x5 if you're not going to show at least 4 panes on screen. This is a major step back.
Hopefully they actually listen to people and give us an option to change it. Thought only blizzard made stupid changes like this that actually make things worse.

I hate... absolutely HATE with a burning passion, the new "expanded" inventory. Whoever thought this, along with the glamour toilet, was smart needs to get das boot. Dumpster fires left and right with this patch.

Adding my vote to bring back the old expanded view.

This is why they need PTR.

No kidding!

Or an addon API. Like the one they promised before the game was released. Still waiting.

Which we're never going to get, because of PS4 players; that they keep saying "we'll think about it" is misleading.

Didn't the PS4 versions of Skyrim and Fallout allow mods? Just need to build an interface for the console players to obtain them.

I think their concern is mods that might allow players an advantage that won't work on PS4, though I'm unsure as of the limitations of such. I think the best solution would be to have an SE-curated place for mods where they only approve and post ones that that don't provide such advantages.

This smaller storage size on the UI is highly annoying. Everything clutters up quickly, and its harder to organize. This is irritating. I don't play irritating games.

I don't see how the old expanded inventory is superior to the new one.

Old Vs. New
