I feel that items in the game lack proper information. Even worse if your newer to RPG's or maybe a bit of a twinker. For example and I assume 1h axes are slower then 1h swords? I assume 1h axes uses more stamina then 1h swords. But you can't tell by that in fact all you know is it says it does more damage.
Also for inspecting items that are not in a chest but on shelves and such don't allow you to compare the armor vs what you have on right now. That alone would be nice.
