This is one of the reasons why I never finished D:OS2, the other ones were inflating numbers, totally random equipment and shops getting new stuff every hour.
I am a completeonist and I hate leaving stuff behind, though I learned this with BG1+2, were most rooms had only 1 or 2 "boxes" with loot and inventory slots were limited (and half of them were filled with ammo until you find weapons with infinite ammo). So in D:OS2 it was like: pick up stuff, have a battle, go to shops, pick up stuff, have a battle, oh I gained a level, back to shop. Half of the time I was running from one shop to the other and when I was done the shops almost got new stuff again.
I hope the DnD rules prevent stat inflation and totally random items and I hope that magic items are actually rare and feel special.
In BG1 finding your first magic weapon felt special and when you found unique equipment you kept it for a long time.
In D:OS2 you do not care about stuff because whatever you may find, the next enemy may drop something better and next level your stuff is useless anyway.
