    A bunch of stuff is locked for a while for absolutely no reason. (I mean, I assume it's to not "confuse" people, but this way seems way more confusing.) Companions, for example, you can't even open the screen until the first time one of them levels up their relationship with you, which for me didn't happen until I hit the end of Bellara's intro quest. If you're not yet to the Veil Jumpers camp, I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm having the same issue and still can't access the character screen, inventory, or companion menu even after joining up with Bellara. I've read elsewhere that the I starts working after the tutorial is over and you leave the lighthouse, but they were incorrect, evidently. Hopefully it will unlock after I've completed Bellara's quest. It's not critical yet, but at some point I will want to buy and sell things and see what I've actually picked up.

Companion screen IIRC takes the longest. I don't think you get it until one levels up their relationship and/or you have more than one piece of gear for a slot.

Buying and selling you don't need to look at the inventory for. You just talk to a vendor. Only faction vendors will buy your trash; everybody else only sells. Both are done by talking to a vendor and then, if needed, toggling in that menu between their buy and sell screens.

Your own character screen you should be able to view sometime around when you get gear to swap between. 

I recall the game being extremely bad at telling you when these things actually open up, so triple check what your controls are bound to and try those keys/buttons every so often.
