No. Not separate. It's about pacing of the game and rewarding players for taking it slow. Give me a fast way to search for good gear. That speeds up the pace and keeps it moving and exciting.
Right now, it's like I'm punished if I don't take it slow and painfully search every little thing because I've found cool stuff just about every playthrough that I missed before because I still didn't slow down enough.
I don't mind missing stuff if I fail a roll. That's my PC just missing something. I don't like missing something because I didn't hover just right over it.
Gives me a Perception check for all good items. If I succeed, my characters find stuff. I pick it up. Game moves on.
