I've played 30 hours in patch 2 and now I've played another 3 hours in this new patch 3. Here are some suggestions regarding the gameplay so far:

1- In Divinity 1 and 2, it is possible to add items in backpacks simply by dragging the items over the backpack. So far this is not possible in BG3. If you try this, the backpack will swap places with the item.

2- There should be an easy way to sort items inside the backpacks. If you sort your inventory "by weight", the items in the backpack should be sorted as well.

3- One of the things that take most of my time in all Larian games is inventory management. Usually, I loot chests/bodies/etc with my rogue, but there is a limit for the weight capacity. So I have to keep transferring items to my other stronger characters. This process is slow. Like, really slow. There should be an option to select multiple items so we can transfer those to other party members.

4- Right now, with this new patch, the sorting system is broken. After selecting to sort items, you can't re-sort them in the same category, you need to sort it in another category, and then select the desired category once again to it properly sorted. This is a new issue since in Patch 2 it was working fine.

5- Also, regarding the sorting system, DOS2 had an option to "auto-sort", which was great and fast. Please include this on this game too!

6- After reading a book, the inventory automatically closes. 99.99% of the time I still want to have my inventory open, so this becomes a nuisance. The other games the inventory would keep open while reading books.

7- I noticed that companions that are not in the group still approve/disapprove of my decisions. Since they are not around, they shouldn't be judging what I am doing. Especially that annoying ShadowHeart.

8- In DOS2 there is an option to offer wares to traders. Please include this back, which makes the trading system way faster than clicking 20+ items one by one.

9- DOS1 and DOS2 you can cast spell selecting the target portrait. In BG3, if you try that, it will switch to the other character, when I was clearly trying to cast a heal spell.

10- In my 30 hours playing in patch 2, I only saw characters get stuck in one place once. In this new patch and within 2 hours I experienced that twice. Minor bug.

Overall patch 3 is going great. The hit % is way more accurate now and 80% feels like 80%. There are optimizations to be done but considering the great final product that Larian delivered with DOS1 and DOS2, I am certain that this will all be addressed properly and BG3 will be a huge success. So far, even with little bugs, only 1 act, and other issues, BG3 is one of the best RPG games. The combat system with D&D 5.0 was a huge improvement.

+1

Edited to add:
I would also like the ability to rename common items including backpacks and pouches so that I can name certain containers by item type. This could add a little roleplay factor as well with personalized gear.
