no, I have decided to not go down that path. You put items directly in your backpack and expand it once you level up.

Hey, sorry that part is still missing from the stuff that I have posted. I am working towards a trailer that can show the whole gameplay loop. But basically you have a limited grid inventory where you position items from your storage. With the equipped items and spell you fight your enemies.
