It's a mix between "Dungeon Siege" and "Morrowind" ?

In dungeon siege most interface items can be expanded
or retracted using a small "<<<" or ">>>" click box.

In Morrowind, the character status, inventory, spell
list, merchant inventory, and world map are all fully
sorted and resizable windows. You cannot play (freeze)
when menus are active, but it's a full featured gui
anyway.
