Actually, that's a bummer

A big part of an RPG experience for me is loot hunting and constant equipment and skill progression. Seeing your characters progress from cloth rags to legendary stuff is one of the things I really enjoy. Especially if the best stuff requires you to overcome some challenges and/or find hidden quests, caves etc. In my current playthrough of BGII, I am playing with a mod that permits me to use magic items in any combination, regardless of what bonuses they might have. Just to see how much I can deck my characters out this time around.

. It's just fun.

Ah well. Thanks for letting me know, though.
