I had a thought o.o and I hate to bring it up again~ but the toolkit can easily change starting equipment I am sure. Also remember there will be player mods.
Larian has offered us so much! much more then I had expected~ a beautiful game world, character creation options and they are even giving us a toolkit!
On release I will be tackling the toolkit and if anyone needs simple start gear changes, I will be more then happy to do so.
Ellary, I'm hesitant to accept the toolkit as a "fix" for any problem (unless it really can't/won't be fixed by the developers) because the truth is we simply don't know the impact or restrictions of using the editor. We don't know if it can even be used on the main campaign or if that content is "locked", or if using it to alter the main campaign will have repercussions (like disabling Steam achievements (if there are even going to be any Steam achievements, that is)), etc.
So, yes, the editor is a possible solution, it's just that we don't know if using it to fix one problem will end up introducing problems of a different nature.
I agree that Larian is offering us a lot and a beautiful game world, though, and am anxious for release.
