"using stash for food is an exploit and Larian doesn't intend players to use it in way they implemented it"
Sigh ...
And so i repeat:
Never said that ...
What i say is it seems to me like "send to camp" was created so person who wish to stash something in camp forgets to do that can simply send it there, instead of slow and anoying travel back and forth.
Sure, it can be abused to send anything and everything to camp ... basicaly creating infinite inventory ... but i concider that an exploit.
Feeling older every time i need to say it again. :-/
"the system is designed to give players limited and limitless inventory at the same time"
It is ... and it does.
as if those weren't mutually exclusive concepts.
They arent ... or at least not exactly.
You cant use them both at once, logicaly, no argument about that ... but existence of one, dont exclude, AND as the matter of fact dont even affect existence of the other.
