Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Suggestions and Feedback New items appearing on the ability bar

Is there a way to somehow disable newly picked up potions, scrolls and arrows from automatically appearing on the ability bar?
I haven't been able to find any option to disable this feature, but I hope that I somehow have missed it. It's easily one of my biggest gripes about the game in its current state since it requires me to rearrange my ability bar after almost every single battle or vendor visit.
Apparently this feature has been in the (EA) game for so long that I now have to question if it's going to be like this in the final release as well.

Yeah I dislike it too.

+1.

Check the mods subforum around here - someone made a mod for exactly that.

Seems like a band-aid solution in my opinion. If it's simple enough for a user to create a mod that solves the problem it should also be possible for Larian to put the resources into it.

I'll use the mod if the feature hasn't been added by the time of the game's release, but mind you that not everyone has access to or is willing to use mods for various reasons. Considering how simple it (seemingly) is to fix the problem that severely diminishes the quality of the game I personally don't see a reason not to make it a core feature.

Well, that's the thing? You say it's simple to fix a 'severe' issue... I say it's a non-issue. It takes like a second to rearrange your entire bar, and it's not any kind of big deal that the potion of flamesplosions and acid or whatever I just picked up got added to my hotbar, because it's at the very end. A mod exists because it clearly wasn't a huge deal enough for Larian to mess with it, but a player with know-how made it because they thought it was.

Nothing more or less thant hat. It's only an issue for some people.

Same: it's one of those mildly but frequently irritating QoL things that I'd quite like to see the back of.

I actually like the fact they do this. Makes it way more convenient and in GM mode, after you add an item to a monster's inventory, it's already on the quick bar when you possess it.
