Most of this I very much agree with and have had the same thoughts while playing myself, but point 4 makes no sense in a freeform-character-development game like Wolcen; the only thing that can make you unable to equip an item is being too low-level for it, and there is no class system nor are the different item types only meant to be used by certain character archetypes anyway.

My spell-using, Aether-damage and force shield "mage" character still uses plenty of the Rogue, Bruiser and Heavy armors and can use either a staff or a dagger/sword/mace/axe/pistol+catalyst depending on which gives better stats overall, which varies depending on what I happen to find; the inherent attributes on items are essentially meaningless compared to their random bonuses, and separating them would not only not be useful, it would be harmful in that it would confuse and mislead players who may not know all that.

But again, everything else I wholeheartedly agree with, these are some very basic almost mandatory QoL things in a game from 2020.
