@ rk; See, now the REAL problem surfaces. And instead of doing something rash to get around that, how about, like in Baldur's Gate and such, unidentified items get their own color. Or an icon on them, something able to make them quickly distinctable in the inventory without hovering over all.
THAT is a suggestion I would support, not identify all.
As for cooking books, I just open each and every new one I get. Then I don't need to wonder, or search heavily, or compare to the journal or anything. Only takes about 10s each time...
@ Joe, regarding 5. Since you can't simply make something "SP exclusive" (especially seeing there's drop-in MP). It needs to work for both SP and MP. The sollutions provided only work for SP. And are thus unsuitable for Original Sin. It's the nature of the beast.
When making suggestion one needs to keep such in mind. I know it can be difficult, but if you want to have more change for Larian to listen to you and implent your idea, you need a system that works SP *and* MP, and you can prove on paper it would work. And then there still would be the question of technical feasability.
Regarding 10... I am noticing I carry more and more parchments around, and vendors don't list them. The annoying thing being a large portion being either 1) broken, since no text. 2) intended to have no text, but since book items are unique and thus not stack. And somehow they needed to be blank parchments with "use to read" rather than sheets of paper that do stack and work the same crafting wise. Maybe one of my pet peeves. Can't stand "use to read" and it's simply non-functional.
