Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Starting Equipment

Or just have a travelling merchant wagon close to the crash site that stocks all the items you are able to buy as starting equipment per the PHB allowances. Yeah, it’s a bit contrived but not that unusual for the start of a RPG.

I think this would be easier for Larian to implement than updating the interface for selecting/buying gear while you are in character creation. It would also get you into the game quicker without overwhelming new players with options.
