Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Looting, identifying and selling a pain

I'd say that identify, repair and barter activities are a micromanaging pain and take too much time.
Ways to fix this, at least for singleplayer:
1. Make Identify and Repair a common activity for the whole party. As soon as magnifying Glass and Repair tool items are aquired, show their corresponding buttons in the UI. Yes, make separate buttons for them somewhere. Key shortcuts wouldn't hurt either. That way the player won't have to rummage through the messy inventory in search for these items all the time (inventory is in serious need of auto-sorting within tabs).
Alternatively, looking back at Diablo 3, Identifying items can be done without Mganifying glass at all - just right click on the item to identify it.
2. Make Identify, Repair and Barter corresponding abilities like Loremaster, Blacksmithing and Barter common for the whole party. For example, one character's Loremaster ability is highest among the group - use that character's ability level as a reference to Identify items in any party mamber inventory. Selling would not be such a bother either, because players won't have to move everything they want to sell to a character with highest Barter skill to get a better discount - just use party's highest Barter level as a reference for discounts during bartering.
