Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback QOL fix for Inventory Management

That would be a nice change but for me the main problem is the amount of time we spend in right click objects one by one then the slide appears (slowly) and then click on the slide options that you choose to send it to camp or to another companion, mark it as trash, drop it or throw it for every single item all the time with a lot of objects (every 5 to 20 min) through the whole game, for me an easy solution would be a hotkey for each option without a mandatory use of the slide.

Find it fairly annoying gold being heavy have to break it in to piles and send it around the party because my charisma char struggled to hold everything, fortunately, potions of hill giant can alleviate some of the pain but yeah its gross really

I agree with this post, but you guys had enough gold to be too heavy? TT TT I was so poor my whole playthrough.

We should try to redact a clear list of the issues with the current inventory and maybe suggest some REALISTIC fixes that wouldn't involve a complete re-do (which is not going to happen, let's be real).

For instance:

- "Category filters" being a drop down menu rather than a series of buttons/shortcut is BAD.
- Some categories are obviously missing.
- "stacking items" seem to come in variations that do not stack properly for no sensible reason (i.e. Javelins that pile up on a single tile vs the ones that don't). Same thing happen for a whole variety of items.
- The "category bags" should not move around when you change the sorting criteria of your inventory...
- ...And sorting criteria should "auto-refresh" rather than ask you to re-select the filter over and over.
- "Category bags" should also WORK PROPERLY. Why it is that if take items from the ground they get sorted in the appropriate bags, but if I pass them around between companions they don't?
- Why don't we have "category bags" for books and for magic scrolls? two of the most common items in the game.
- EVERYTHING that has no other purpose rather than being a sellable (aka "vendor trash") should be automatically flagged at "Wares" for the vendor interface. Vaguely "metagame-y" maybe, but in a game where inventory management is a CHORE it would be a godsend.
- The disparity of filtering options between the Trade and Barter windows make no sense.
- Since the game FINALLY started to use the highest attitude score for the entire party when interacting with a vendor, there are even less reasons than before for forcing the player to reset their bartering offer when switching characters.


Personally if it was up to me I'd be in favor of an UNIFIED inventory for the entire party (or in case of multiplayer for all characters controlled by a specific player) and then having a limited number of slots "ready for use" in the character's "utility belt" that become the only thing they can use in combat (at least at higher difficulties, you could remove the restriction for Story mode)... But since this is far more subjective and an extensive change in how things work, I'm adding it here as a footnote rather than as part of the list of objective flaws.

Food ahould auto go to camp and be useable from camp , same for alchemicals should go in to a bag of holding and make them weightless, half the time the auto bags dont work

Same for junk items with no use like scraps of paper forks plates micromanagement of your inventory is fairly annoying all the junk should auto become wares and anything you dump in your wares bag of holding should become weighhtless

dealing with inventory weight is stupid and should be removed when you can just teleport every item to camp, remove a step and let us mange things from our bag so we dont have to have one person in camp passing junk to the shop.
