Yep. So far they've written lore in books, but it would be great to know the histories of the items.
I feel we find too many magic items, too fast. If I had to choose between fewer magic items with more stories to them, and more magic items that have no story, I'd very much vote for the former.
The big question though is : how ? Larian will hopefully review and revise their hover-windows that give information on items, spells, etc. At the moment, it doesn't really have too much space for items backstories (and probably not enough space for the description of some spells).
Exactly my thought. It feels like I am showered with unique magic items in the early game. I would like it if they cut out maybe three-quarters of them and put work into making the remaining ones special.
It also feels that I run into a lot of 2H unique magic items: spears, greatswords, and maces. Only finesse ones I have seen are two daggers.
