It's not like I'm not replacing this shit 30 minutes down the line, anyway.

So, I can see that standpoint in other games, but that's really not an issue in this one. Even with a basic weapon, if you start with the one that you feel your character would use, you're probably going to be using that weapon until you find a magical version, which won't be until the Druid Grove, at the earliest.

...That's, like, one hour into the game at most?
And except for longbow and few other, you have several chances to find pretty much the entire range of common weapons before that point, too.

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
