Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Improving Immersion: Suggestions for Realistic Inventory and Weapon Display

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post. While I appreciate that you have a different opinion regarding backpacks and their appearance in games, I must disagree with your statement that an extreme amount of realism does not make a fun game.

In fact, a logical amount of realism can add an extra layer of immersion to the game and enhance the overall gameplay experience. While there are certainly more critical aspects of a game that should be prioritized, there is no harm in paying attention to small details that can make the game more enjoyable, especially when it could be added as a feature that can be enabled or disabled, similar to how it was handled with Pathfinder. Regarding the appearance of backpacks, I understand your concern that they may look unappealing. However, I believe that it is possible to design a visually appealing backpack that can still convey the necessary function of carrying loot and equipment.




Furthermore, as you mentioned, having weapons floating on the back of a character when sheathed can be distracting and detract from the game's immersion. The same can be said for being able to carry unrealistic amounts of loot without any logical explanation. In conclusion, I believe that a logical amount of realism can enhance the gameplay experience, and I hope that we can agree on the importance of paying attention to small details that can make the game more enjoyable.

Thank you for your response, and I look forward to hearing more thoughts from the community.


Fixing that is definitely a priority
