You can't take the inventory out of Skyrim and it still be Skyrim. That's where half the fun and shenanigans come from. Did you play Fable 3? They tried removing the inventory and the game sucked and the series died.

There has to be another way, like what if you used speech to narrate your actions like in dnd. "I grab a potion from my pocket" "I dip my arrow in poison" etc

Some text-based adventures from the late 90s and early 2000's allowed you to do just that. I can even remember a couple that were the precursors to MMO's, but back then they were called MUDs, short for Multi-User Dungeons.

I suppose those could be iterated on with modern voice technology and language models.

I want someone to revisit MUDs, but integrate Chat GPT with it and just make it better in every way. I know it can be done because I've tricked GPT into starting a MUD and it was awesome and Legend of Zelda TOTK themed before the game launched.
