If what they showed of the looting in the presentation is similar to what it will be like in the game...then sad face. When Swen looted the corpses of the guys he killed, where did their armor and weapons go? Why was everything worth tons of gold?

I get this may be one of the areas where they had to depart from D&D for whatever reason, but in D&D if you wanted to pick up every goblins shitty sword and leather armor and try to pawn them you could. Would only be worth copper but hey, if that's how you wanted to spend your time/energy go for it.

I think the only time there should be random loot is when you find a chest or raid a dragon hoard or something similar (like a treasury, etc), but even then there may still need to be some garunteed loot that fits the bill; if you defeat someone that is a master blacksmith and pick the lock to their hidden chest it should probably have some of their best work in it...something like that that makes sense.
