Maybe as a reference to Resident Evil, it would be cool if you were able to examine the items in your inventory.

I like this idea.If we can put a small menu in inventory that can examine the item.

Let's do this.

Battery: a small 9v battery used to power electronics
Keycards: a plastic security card used to open blast doors
ReVision Eyedrops: Small drops used to keep automatic re-watering of the eyes
Cigarette: a small cylinder of tobacco that gives you lung cancer! Oh joy!
Document: A leaflet of paper giving off information
Gasmask: A mask used to protect personnel from harmful gasses, such as teargas.
S-Nav: An electronic tool that is used to guide personnel
SCP-714: A green jaded ring that can protect personnel from memetic objects.
SCP-420-J: BEST ____ IN THE WORLD
Smelly joint: WTF THIS ____ IS TOO STRONG
Radio: an electronic tool used for communication
Ballistic vest: a vest used to protect personnel from being shot
First Aid Kit: A medical kit used to heal personnel
Small First Aid Kit: A portable medical kit used to heal personnel
Strange Bottle: Appears to have [DATA EXPUNGED]
Origami: a useless paper swan...
Credit Card: a small Master Card, also useless.
Playing card: a useless playing card.

I don't really like this idea.
It doesn't fit the game.
And class-d has the same knowledge with you.

Agree. The descriptions shouldn't give a lot of information. They must be descriptions that a Class-D will make. More something like this:

Battery: a small 9v battery used to power electronics
Keycards: a Level X plastic security card
ReVision Eyedrops: Small drops used to keep automatic re-watering of the eyes
Cigarette: a small cylinder of tobacco that gives you lung cancer! Oh joy!
Document: -NO DESCRIPTION, JUST OPEN THE DOCUMENT-
Gasmask: A mask used to protect from harmful gasses.
S-Nav: An electronic tool that is used to guide personnel
SCP-714: A green jaded ring. Wow!, it fits in my finger.
SCP-420-J: SOME SHIT
Smelly joint: WTF THIS ____ IS TOO STRONG
Radio: A standard radio. It has 5 channels.
Ballistic vest: a vest to protect you from being shot
First Aid Kit: A medical kit used to heal personnel
Small First Aid Kit: A portable medical kit
Strange Bottle: Appears to have [DATA EXPUNGED]
Origami: a useless paper swan... Although it's really nice made
Credit Card: a small Master Card, maybe it has money
Playing card: a useless playing card.

I think SCP-420-J should stay THE BEST ____ IN THE WORLD though.

Well, you actually don't know that it is the best until you smoke it

I think we should have a Resident Evil style inventory in general. It would be cool as hell.

^This. I REALLY don't like the idea of examining items. It's not needed.

I'd do some simple descriptions that a Class D with average intelligence would do on items.

9v Battery: ''A small battery used to power electronics. Might be useful''
18v Battery: ''A bigger battery. Most stuff i've seen here use 9v so this isn't very useful to keep around.''
Keycard 1 to 3: ''Seems to be a low level security card for this place.''
Keycard 4 to 5: ''High security level cards for this place, it will come in handy i guess.''
Keycard Omni: ''The text has become blurry and i can't read anything on the card.''
Master Card: ''Why would i need money in a situation like this?''
Playing Cards: ''I guess i could play Solitaire with these?...''
Gasmask: ''A mask to avoid breathing dangerous gasses, i should keep it around.''
Infinite-sprint Gasmask: ''The mask has become light and breezy, and very elastic, too.''
S-NAV 300: ''A small portatile screen that can show me the way around this place. It isn't working quite right...''
S-NAV 310: ''It has been upgraded and now it's showing all of the facility, good.''
S-NAV Ultimate: ''There's something weird about this now. It's showing me the location of these freaks.''
Document: ''A sheet of paper with stuff on it. Might be useful giving it a quick read.''
Radio: ''A small portatile radio, it has 5 channels with different stuff on them.''
Anomalous Radio: ''I can't do anything on it!''
SCP-420-J: ''A joint of weed? They keep those around?''
Smelly Joint: ''Ugh, it gives off a very strong odor.''
Cigarrete: ''A common cigarrete, smoking, here? Maybe, maybe.''
SCP-714: ''Seems to be some kind of ring?''
ReVision Eyedrops: ''This could help me to avoid blinking when i find that stone thing.''
Eyedrops: ''Something changed about them.''
Healthkit: ''Let's hope i don't have to use this.''
Small Healthkit: ''Well, that wasn't worth it.''
Blue Healthkit: ''Oh, it's now blue, how useful.''
Strange Bottle: ''The liquid inside is constantly changing colours.''
Ballistic Vest: ''This might help if i ever need to use it, it's kind of heavy.
Heavy Vest: ''While it seems to be stronger...I'm not feeling comfortable using it.''
Bulky Vest: ''God this weights a lot!''
Origami: ''Yeah sure, it's pretty, whatever.''

It doesn't need to be something explaining the use, after all you're a Class D, you're not gonna know much about this stuff and probably are just going to give a opinion.

And we don't need a complicated inventory menu either, with simply having some small text with the examining text appear on the lower right corner of the screen as you pass your mouse over the items it should be enough.
