Actually the looting AND the Item management are really not up to todays convenience in games.

Of course theres the search and find minigame by opening so much things and be surprised,
BUT this is poorly implemented BECAUSE all items in Baldurs Gate have their fixed Locations.
There's not much random loot happening and especially not important random loot. BESIDES the Traders.

The Item management in the Inventory and as well as all kind of Containers needs a total overhaul.
What we have in the EA shall not be the actual funcitonality in the release Version.
The actual design for this is tedious, boring, repetitive and very timeconsuming.

The Player, that is us, is not an Adventurer anymore. Larian has made all Players to be like marauders and corpse looters.
Its like the main agenda we have is to rummage anything we come across.
Thereby wasting precious time in which the Tadpole could change us into a Mindflayer. Contraproductive as a whole. Taking time time to find better gear to make us survive in the end. Very Questionable way of telling us we need to hurry or we might be are a Mindflayer next day.
This is a joke Larian, dont make us do such stupid thing. We dont have time to do that.

Solutions:
Community has a lot of good ideas for better item managment and thers also a lot of good RPGs out there with a better loot System. Just copy it and make the community and fans of BG 3 a very happy crowd. Even the Game critics will praise Larian Studios if you do it better then any game before.
JUST DO IT!
