This will likely be an unpopular idea, but I think it would be interesting to have a game mechanic wherein the moment a random encounter pops up you momentarily lose the ability to change your active inventory. I think this will add an element to the random encounter that it is missing. For example, if you were walking down the street and a cutpurse tried to rob you, it would be more realistic and interesting to only be able to utilize skills you have at hand. Of course, maybe this is a programming nightmare? Or a terrible idea... I just thought it might make for a more interesting dynamic.

Some of us can do all the options even without switching things around!
But I agree, might be interesting. Certainly would make encounters more worrisome.

I think that this would be a problem for many characters who have not reached level 50 or so. After that it becomes more easy to handle all encounters. Still I like to change my outfit so that I can resolve random encounter in various ways, which keeps them longer interesting.

While this sounds like a good idea in practice, I believe that it will unfairly punish lower level characters who are much more reliant on inventory items for completing quest.

At level 11, I ran into the Guard Checkpoint in Dragon lands 3 times in a day. I couldn't do anything but the 30 fate, negative glory option because of my stats, which having new equipment wouldn't have helped with. If I could have done even one of the other options by switching equipment, I would have in a heart beat.
Just something to keep in mind.
