All of the random items, food, etc?

It is kind of Larian's style, but to me it seems like they could do a much better job of helping you organize all of that stuff. Books and food are ones that seem like they have easy fixes - your books just go into a codex and food goes right to camp storage. I also think crafting materials could be stored in a more organized manner rather than taking up inventory space. That is the type of stuff I'd focus on if I was Larian. Not removing this type of stuff from the game - but rather making it way more organized.

Magical items?

I think they are cool. It's a video game - I think stuff like that is fun to find and use so long as it doesn't go way overboard.
