I'm what some people may call, a 'pack-rat' because I keep waaaay more than I need.
When I set up base, I kept anything that had a chance of being useful ("better keep this shield because it might help me against certain enemies, more than my better sheild") even though I would almost never use such items. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
I'd also keep anything I thought looked particularily cool (and for me, thats alot).
Then anything with a free skill (a few spells for a warrior if I feel like havin' fun with 'em <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> ).
And, of course, any chest I couldn't open yet... I actually had at least as much as you did Raze, believe it or not.
Pretty bad huh? Yea, 'setting up camp' sure is fun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />
