I think the beauty for me and a New Game+ (such as Witcher III for example) is that you already have all your stuff including for BG3 in particular, the dreaded camp supplies. This game, however awesome it is, has waaaaaaayyyy too many empty or useless containers that just take up so much game time to sift through. Even though I'm on my 2nd play-through atm on tactician, and have over 1,000 camp supplies, I still can't help myself to look in containers (just in case). A New Game+ would allow players to focus on the story and combat with alternate endings without having to go through all the farming which was (kinda) fine on the first play-through.
This was my experience at least, but I felt like gold was practically useless.
I thought the infernal iron would be used for something too and saved them but maybe I missed something they never had any use.
The only thing I bought in Act 3 was a body armor piece solely because of the appearance lol.
Maybe I just missed some vendor or something but I felt like I was geared out in Act 2 and only got two legendary weapons ( from the same main story boss ) and then a legendary staff from a companion quest that was about it everything else was either from Act 1 or 2 ( I think I may have found two more legendary weapons I honestly can't remember if they were or just '' epic '' ).
I kinda feel like I probably could've gone through the game ignoring boxes and containers unless it was some special area and not have lost out on anything.
Camp supplies is probably the only thing I'd struggle with if I wasn't looting boxes and such.
