Which new style? They already created a new one for exactly that purpose.

did they? i never went to the fourms at all. i was planning to once the game was released.

so what i say may not be true :P

Who knows, bad timing? Everytime we've made a change it was in the summer. Maybe because of less traffic then as everyone is on Holiday / Vacation. I have to agree that doing a forum upgrade at the same time as a major game release, is probably not such a hot idea knowinbg that you will probably be having game issues to deal with ( and they do ). Not to mention it has messed up a lot of folks on getting their DLC stuff.

Considering the font-size alone, I am sure it is not a "Console Port". To make the inventory/menus more immersive you would have to make even more realistic choices. More realism means more frustration and more imposed limits.

I find the menu/inventory/quick menu very well suited for this game and a definite improvement from W1. This is subjective, but I prefer a text list to a icon wall any-day. The best menus I've seen are those from "Dead Space". But that approach I doubt would fit well to a much more involved RPG.

Sorting is good. Of course there could have been more sorting options more info presentations modes etc, but it is fine as it it now. This game is MOD-able, no doubt we'll have some UI add-ons to satisfy some personal preferences.

I'm also missing a STORAGE, yet I also get the devs intention to drive you away for the pack-rat compulsion towards the story, quests etc.
