Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Poll - Loot

I wonder ...
Am i the only one who finds it weird, that stuff is dissapearing from killed NPCs, or on the contrary is "made out of thin air" when we do something for them?

What would be your prefference? single choice
	The way it is ... ballance (or some other excuse) is more important than immersion.
	I would preffer NPCs to drop whatever they had, and holding all their potential rewards.
	I would preffer NPCs to have some super secret, perfectly protected (like dif 40 lockpick) almost undetectable stash, where they would get our rewards.
	Dunno, dont care ... still like to vote things tho. :P

To be perfectly honest, I find the loot dealing in this game a little overwhelming as it is. In principle I don't care, but I already have a hard time juggling all the magic items and what they do and what's best and most useful for which character, on top of the terrible inventory management, so honestly I'm a little glad to have less to be dealing with.

True ...
There is many other items ... but what good for is there thousand items you cant use in your curent build, when that single one is locked for you behind a dialogue choice you would never pick with this character? :-/

You know what i mean, right?

Its as when kid tells their parents that they want a puppy ... and parents answers no, bcs they allready have a fish ... or parrot ... or cat ... or whatever else.
Yes, we do have fish, or parrot, or cat, or whatever else ... but that is not a puppy ... how should i feel satisfyed with something completely different, that dont serve even remotely simmilar purpose?

For example ...
I keep repeating this problem i have with Fire ring from Glut ... its nothing über OP ... it just adds 2 dmge to any Fire Damage you deal ... im not even sure if it apply on AoE, or Burnin effect ...
The problem is, in order to get it, you need to side with Glut and kill Spaw in myconid willage, there is NO other way to obtain it.
I would really like to make full fire (read as Heat, that new condition we got now) build on my Fiend Warlock, and this ring would be quite helpfull ...
And then there is this Roleplay aspect ... where id Glut even get it? Did he just created this ring out of ... what by the way?

Same goes with vendors ...
You sell them your plate armor ... stuck a sword into their belly ... and armor is gone.
What happened to it? O_o

Same goes with Florick ...
She runs out of burning house, with nothing but her dress ... then she magicaly draws out of nowhere a Bow, a Staff and a Trident ... and then hides the rest of two things back, in second you pick your reward.

I makes no sense that you can pickpocket stuff on NPCs that then disappears when you kill them.

I find it bizarre that you can pickpocket suits of armor from npcs, even moreso you can do it without their noticing. I'd like it if items existed in the gameworld in a realistic way, which absolutely does not mean getting access to a whole shop's inventory by rifling through the pockets of its murdered owner. The way it is now is certainly more realistic and preferable.

Also your poll options are incredibly biased. Replace the third option with something more like "I would prefer npcs store their items realistically, rather than on their person" and I'd vote for it.

Like you can pickpocket seamlessly, but god forbid you get your stealthy rouge thief in line of sight of anything.. entirely pointless to have a stealthy character.
