Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Is it possible to have highlight working properly?

Good day. My testing with it has been very limited, so far. It's also quite likely that I'm missing something obvious in the options. Anyhow, I can only seem to highlight lootable objects. Surely any talented team of over 400 would be able to have highlight work so that it shows all interactive objects? What am I missing here?

I am pretty sure highlight works as intended - it highlights important items only (so not every container, and not every interactable object). Using it you can quickly glance what is important and what is not - and you can interact with the rest (or not) at your discretion.

In my book that is an improvement, as I am pretty sure D:OS2 used to highlight every single object, and the result was unhelpful due to amount of interactables - if you highlight everything, you highlight nothing. There are people like yourself who do wish for a more comprehensive highlight button - personally I can't figure why - if it is an item you can interact with it. I am surprised there doesn't seem to be a mod for it.

What objects are we talking about here? Like, forks and kitchen knives? I sometimes collect those because they have perfect weight/value ratio and yeah, they require some pixel hunting. But I generally agree with Wormerine, this is not a very desirable feature for me, memories of the dinner table in the End of Time from DOS EE bring me ptsd, the whole screen was flooded with highlight icons...
