They completely redesigned the UI for when you're using a controller. I've been playing on Steam Deck and I love it. You can walk around with a thumb stick or point and click your way around. Abilities and inventory are auto added to radials that you can customize and reorganize however you like. There's a "search" function that helps you dig through any stuff in your immediate area vs trying to point and click your way over each piece.

There are some minor quirks but overall it's awesome.

Am I wrong or the inventory screen doesn't exist on the deck, replaced by the character sheet?

Yeah that's right. They combined your character sheet and inventory when you use the controller layout. That's where some of the quirks come in for sure

Yeah I don't really like that, much prefer the inventory screen you get on the desktop

That's my observation. Inventory management is kinda jank most of the time.
