I pick up every piece of junk I can find.

To keep order in my invetory i drag everything I don't wanna keep into backpacks.
When reaching a trader I just have to sell the full backpack instead of dragging and dropping every single item into the trading panel.

much faster.

StereoTrespasser,

Why not just use “send to wares” and sell your wares with one click at the trader?

jantin,

Wait. You can do that?!?!?! Wares isn’t just a marker for making merch easy to spot in the chest?

papalonian,

It gives you an option to auto-add your wares to trades 😉

espiritu_p,
@espiritu_p@kbin.social avatar

Thanks. Will try that.
I thought, "wares" was just a marker but the junk will stay in your inventory as before.

papalonian,

It will stay in your inventory with a marker and when you reach a trader there is a “add wares to offer” button. Just found this a couple weeks ago myself

I've seen the option too. Mybe I even tried it. I'm not sure.
But if they stay in inventory they will still clog it. If there was an option to hide items marked as wares, this would help.

papalonian,

If there was an option to hide items marked as wares, this would help.

See above 😉 I do wish there was an option to filter out wares though. Also beware I believe that the “add wares to offer” button does not pull items that are stored in other containers. I’d have to experiment with it more to give a definitive answer but I know that alchemy ingredients in your alchemy pouch do not get added automatically

So it wound be an option to mark the items as wares, and then move them to a backpack?
Then I could keep the backpack in case I am short of containers.

I still think my method is the more elegant way :)

TheActualDevil,

Because I don’t want to worry about finding a new backpack every time I just have everyone have 2 backpacks for selling items, then just before I sell I go to everyone’s backpacks and just mark everything as wares. Although, honestly I started doing it because I wasn’t positive that it was giving me the price for the items in the pack and not just the pack itself early on. It’s routine now.

Moving shit around is awful on the PS5. I’ll just keep my 25 rows of garbage on Tav. Unless I’m playing a Str character, then it’s more like 50 rows. Finding shit you know you have is also awful.

I’ve yet to ever turn in Dribbles because by the time I find all his pieces, I’ve lost one. Hope the reward is garbage.

Lost the plans to the crossbow, but there’s a good chance I sold them because they look like every other scrap of paper I grab to sell. Which reminds me I’m probably still carrying around the other parts. It’s honestly a minor miracle I can complete the gauntlet of Shar.

Edit: I checked. Reward for Dribbles is indeed garbage.

Plans for a crossbow?

MagicShel, (edited )

At the Gondian factory. Pick up the plans and two parts, find the table, done. But I made two trips instead of finishing it in one and lost the plans between. Then I also managed to leave the orphic hammer behind and thus ended my honor run because I selected the wrong dialog option.

Thought I had it, but it was on a character I’d swapped out.

Pro pro tip: Bags bags bags and Better Containers (and his whole suite of “better” mods)

CopernicusQwark,

Be careful putting quest items in though. I had one of the nether stones in one, and an update glitched the mod causing the bag with the stone to disappear and soft locking my game (until I downloaded the cheat engine to flip the game state, but it was a very close thing).

I'm a Lord of the Rings fan too.

On my main character I have a bag for potions, a bag for scrolls, a bag for alchemy, and a bag for food. When I pick up arrows, I chose the option to send to the character that has a bow. When I pick up potions, I spread them around. When I pick up a spoon or things I'm going to sell, I pick up and add to wares. Heavy items that I am going to sell like weapons and armor, I send to camp. (It is easy to be staning in front of a vendor, then go to camp, get the heavy items, exit camp and I'm in front of the vendor again for selling it) When my character is getting heavy, I send all the camp supplies to camp. No need to really carry them.

vzq, in My husband forever and always

I picked Gale as my origin character on a whim (I wanted to get to playing without spending too much time in character creation. Also I like wizards), but he’s been a blast to play.

DudeDudenson,

I’ve been just playing custom characters, I’m on like the 3rd 100% playthrough. How different is it to grab one of the characters? Do you get to be an asshole to everyone as la zael?

HRDS_654,

I wouldn’t say it’s significantly different, but it’s different enough. Some of the choices are actually based around the characters, and you get character specific cutscenes.

MagicShel,

I have yet to play an origin character other than durge. But it seems like it would make it easier to have everyone around for their bit of story. "Oops going into the magic shop need Gale. Here’s Jahira’s family, better grab her. Dammit, it’s Mizora, have to grab both Karlach and Wyll. Ugh, have to show this cave art to Shart.

Not even counting swapping in Gale when I need Feather Fall or buffing the party with Longstrider or Shart for Feast and Aid. I hate how cumbersome it is to swap characters. I know there are mods, but not on PS5.

Aaroncvx,

On your next play through try killing or running off most of your companions and you won’t have that issue. You’re welcome.

asexualchangeling,

Playing as durge rn (second play through, first as durge) and I’ve already lost all but shadow heart, astarian, and lazel to “accidents”, I hope I don’t regret that later but it’s nice having a more limited team, plus I can rely on hirelings if I need to

MagicShel, in Baldur's Gate 3: An Unexpected Adventure (feat. Elijah Wood & Sean Astin)

That ending was great.

MuhammadJesusGaySex, in Baldur’s Gate 3 - Discussion Post #3

I just finished my first play through. My friend hosted and I joined. He wanted to go “good” on tactician difficulty. So, we did. It took us 25 days. We got a lot of the more difficult achievements out of the way.

Next time I’m hosting and we’re doing an evil play through. Larian killed it. One of my better purchases this year.

JakkFlagg, in [Spoilers] I bought my friend BG3 for Christmas and

I’m following this since I also have yet to buy it.

FalseAladeen,

If the price is not a problem for your income level, I highly recommend buying the game if you enjoy turn based crpgs. The game is worth every bit of the cost and more. Definitely the best game I’ve played so far.

BoastfulDaedra,

Honestly it’s a pretty sick game for its price. I have zero regrets, it’s like ME1 all over again. Probably is still on sale.

It’s fun getting commentary from newbies – makes me want to start a new run all fresh and innocent like :)

Maybe I’ll play something older, like BG2 or Planescape: Torment or something – to scratch that itch again

Gale is sus as fuck at first. He’s too charming. My first thought was “this dude’s hiding something…” and I mean… I was right. It just wasn’t about being evil. I never trust a character that’s immediately nice when everyone up to that point has been a jerk.

MagicShel,

That MF is also the only one who doesn’t connect tadpoles but he’s all like “hey I was totes on that ship with you!”

Sure you were, motherfucker.

Oh and now you want to eat all my shit? Fuck you, wizards are my last favorite caster anyway.

He ran off and I never found Astarion until my fourth or fifth playthrough.

It just wasn’t about being evil.

I mean, it can be about evil. If you give Gale enough leash he will take the Karsus weave and the crown, merge them, and become a god.

Yesss, yess! Half Orc Barbarian is so much fun. I only wish we had a voice that was basically just growls. Did you drop a hint for that badass sword you can get from the gith peeps in Act 1?

RinseDrizzle,

Honestly yeah. I know it would just add much more work and storage having even more voice acting, but barbarian/dragonborn voices are too prim and proper in current state.

ghostdoggtv,

basically just growls

I think they’ve patched one in, I’m playing a dragonborn storm sorc and his voice is so low it’s jarring sometimes.

i_stole_ur_taco, in [Spoilers] I bought my friend BG3 for Christmas and

I didn’t release Withers in my first play through and he still randomly showed up at camp later in Act 1. I don’t remember if he said any “we meet again” stuff but it was weird and possibly a bug.

It’s surprising how many times you need to replay the game to really understand everything a quest or NPC might do. The butterfly effect is strong in this game.

highenergyphysics,

Fate spins along as it should.

teft,
@teft@startrek.website avatar

Not a bug. He shows up regardless if you find him in his crypt or not.

Amir,
@Amir@lemmy.ml avatar

I also did a run where I speedran getting Minthara, so I skipped a massive portion of the game in that run. He shows up at some point lol

phoneymouse, in [Spoilers] I bought my friend BG3 for Christmas and

Astarion was too annoying for me as well. Left him in camp the whole game.

RinseDrizzle,

Going for a more evil (maybe durge) run next to get more use out of Laez & Astarion. I’ve heard great things about both but didn’t hang much on the chaotic good run.

SecretSauces, (edited )
@SecretSauces@lemmy.world avatar

I never used Astarion, didn’t really care for him. So i got rid of him for something more useful (don’t want to spoil anything, and can’t figure out the spoiler tag on Boost)
