Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Why have they got that? Speculation on loot

Just a light-hearted thread devoted to ungrounded speculation as to why certain loot is found in certain areas, in BG3 and other CRPGs.



Yep, kind of like that.

For a start, why do the bandits in the chapel ruins have so many milk churns? I believe that they misunderstood the plan to milk the locals dry. Either that or they are running an illegal still making milk whisky.

Honestly, I don't remember a particular "out of place" peace of loot on a defeated enemy in BG3, on the contrary I was amused to see the 18INT diadema on the cultured ogre, it made me smile

In every other games with random loot I often wonder why a certain enemy has a certain drop. Maybe the monster dropping 73 gold coins just ate a really wealthy traveller!

I think Skyrim was infamous for having still-ripe fruit and freshly baked bread on dessicated corpses that'd been interred in the local barrow for centuries.

Of course as a modder I entertained myself by having small envelopes contain huge two-handed swords and things like that. Because somebody has to.

Yes, the fruit in barrels that have been hanging about for a bit seems a little odd. Mind you, the beach has those baskets of nearly-rotten fish next to the fisherman's boat and near the bodies. Just how long has it been since the Intellect Devourers killed them? The ship crashed, what? A hour or two before you start wandering about? Are the local fishermen deliberately catching bad fish?
