There are far too many magic items already.
Another +1 from me. Really hoping that this is just because Larian want to try out ideas and get feedback in EA and will be scaled right back on full release.
Some items can have multiple owners or even can be divided into several parts like Equalizer from bg2
Agreed. There’s already the Vision of the Absolute spear, which I see as an example of good story telling for an item, and the three-part cold staff in the Underdark, which is less so but at least the owners are linked. Very happy with magic items you have to construct like this, even if I’ve ended up selling them in most playthroughs. But again, not too many!
