It would be incredibly cool to have a script that automatically manages your inventory while playing the game, e.g. the player picks up all items and has the script auto-drop them if they don't meet certain requirements (value/weight ratio, duplicates, etc.). I'm excited to see where this goes!

I'd be all over that.

I find the way the game displays inventory (particularly guns) quite irritating to say the least. I want to see one ammo type at a time (since you need minimum one gun per ammo type) and then to see a comparison (damage, rate of fire, accuracy, and specials).

Yes, that's also one of the very few complaints I have about FO4. The whole inventory system is designed as if limited to what you can do with a controller. Why can't you deposit all junk from your companion automatically? Why can't you get all inventory not currently used by them? Why can't you craft/replace with power armor pieces that are in storage?

I hope some patches/mods for the inventory system come out soon.

I really like this idea, but one of the big "improvements" for me in the scavanging system (given that I didn't play New Vegas, which I believe implemented some of this) is that it's no longer just about weight to value ratio, and it's also about rare components (screws, gears, etc.) for weapon mods. For this to be useful to me, it would need a customizable "hit list" of crafting components as well.

Am I the only person who collects lots of stuff early in a quest, runs out of room when I find better stuff, then drops a bunch of it in a locker/cigarette machine/corpse near the front door in the hopes that I'll stumble across it later (current return rate = 0)?

You can mark ingredients for search in the crafting menu (press 'T' on the pc version I think) and any item that has those ingredients will have a spyglass next to the item name when you look at the item. I have gears, springs, adhesive, and aluminum all marked.

I think they tried to force you to learn how to use this system when you need a circuit board to build a sentry for your settlement and the closest one is in the red rocket in a phone. I just got mad and used the internet. It wasn't until about 20 hours into the game when I wanted to start building mods for the guns that I noticed it.

There are such scripts for Skyrim and the older games. You can do that ingame, if you have access to the scripting engine.

Fallout 4, being a Bethesda game, has first class modding support on desktop PC. AFAIK, Xbox One should be getting similar capabilities within the next year, and PS4 is rumoured to follow suit.

Mods give you complete access to accomplish anything with the game world or interface, even morph it into a completely different game.

games like Nethack and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup actually have client scripts that do that. One could take them as a foundation to work out the details of such a tool. I think this would be really really helpful.
