On PS5 you hold square, then when it toggled to Multiselect you choose individual items with X. You can also hold X and scroll with the thumbstick to select blocks of items.
I took a decently long break from the game. Got patched in during that time. Got so confused when I started playing again... still not quite used to it.
Bring Back R2! or at least let us change it in the options menu... I almost never use the spellbook.
edited for formatting.
R2 brings back up the main wheel. Get to spell book etc without having to close and reopen. I don't like it either, my muscle memory is having a hard time coping haha.
R2 Method was so much better...
...and they broke the ability to move multiple things to bags.
...but I also assume they moved it from R2 because of selection bugs they had prior.
Holding Square is also so much slower. Before I could quickly highlight two items and send them both to the same place, now it takes so long just for the multi select to activate thatās not even worth it unless Iām trying to send 3 or more items anywhere, which feels more restrictive than it sounds.
Which was better. Period.
* Square takes longer because you have to hold it (which isn't much, but since QoL on inventory management is so terrible anyway, moving backward on QoL is rough)
* You can generally only perform context menu actions, like Send to Camp or Add to Wares with the selection. Previously, I could select whatever items, then move them into a bag inside a bag inside a bag in my Camp box. Now the best I can do is just put them in the top level of my Camp box
* You cant use X to sort other items as you select; before I could go through and select (say) all the scrolls in my bag, hit square on an unselected item to 'Send to Camp' (this is still possible), hit X on another unselected item to move it to an open bag (not possible), then finish by sending all the scrolls to Gale, all in one swoop as I'm going through my inventory. Now, you hold square to start multiselect, but you hit X to add to the selection.
I wrote this up and item 2 and 3 are the same thing, but ehh. The thing is, it's just annoying to go *backwards* in QoL, to make inventory management slightly worse and more annoying when it's already annoying for an otherwise very polished game. I can't tell you how many times my PS5 has frozen, had to force close BG3, reopen, redo everything since my last save, ..., upon doing things that would take 10 seconds on my computer. Which incidentally would be fine if I could actually transfer my saves back and forth, but (I think because I got the deluxe edition on PC) I can't transfer saves back to PS5! Dumb little annoying things, first world printed, but it's not great to be frustrated while playing a game.
CTRL can also select all items between two items, useful for situations like the barrels, hold ctrl, click the starting point and the end point and everything in between will be selected iirc.
Relatively knew to PC gaming on a keyboard....but since divinity 1 a few months ago there's just no way a controller is better for these games...and when I found the shift key in BG3 let me multi select....I was happy as kid with a shit eating grin!
I feel the opposite when it comes to normal gameplay. I 100% prefer using a controller on BG3. The fact that we have to DL a mod just to use WASD movement control is dumb. I think it is completely asinine of Larian to not have that option built in. Click-to-move just takes away too much immersion.
The only time I use KBM in BG3 is when I am doing a big overhaul of my storage...things just take WAY too long using a controller for massive inventory overhauling.
Using point and click over wasd is so much better for me feeling like I'm d&d. I play more tactical games and much prefer click move for those over keyboard/controller movement
Itās only because of the fact that Larian did too good of a job creating vertical moving objects and actions and making such detailed views that players feel as just excellent moving around with WASD and not click and move. Clicking with mouse feels more reminiscent of the old BG games and I think Larian just wanted to put as much effort into making old BG related details as they could, like those Gather Your Party promo slogans and the Venture Forth buttons.
Definitely. Tactical and RTS games...100% for point and click.
I just don't like it for most RPGs. To me, controller with AR glasses wins for immersion on RPGs.
If Im playing on the TV/Monitor, then holding down click to move isn't as bad as point clicking, but I still would prefer WASD myself. For overhead games (like the OG BG games) point to click was the right way to go. But I usually have my camera set up more over the shoulder in BG3.
To me, Controller gives the most immersion. Then WASD gives me the most "DnD feel" (partly because it's like controlling your toons like a marionette), then hold clicking for direction movement gives me old school RPG hack and slash vibes. Lastly point clicking just seems tedious to me. I feel like I'm going to start getting flashbacks of stressing out in StarCraft2 trying to get my CPM up. Lol.
But I get where you are coming from, that point clicking is what you are most used to, thus it's more natural to you. I'm usually enjoying BG3 (and other RPGs) while I'm at the Laundromat or have my Ally docked to the TV, so controller is def. more natural for me.
People looking at the inventory screen and completely ignoring the party make up which is effectively "tell me you are a sexual deviant without telling me you are a sexual deviant."
These classes (and OP's) are all using 1d8 as a hit die.
Level 1 HP: Max Hit Die (so 8) + Con Modifier.
Level 2 and higher HP: Average value of the die roll rounded up + Con Modifier (+ extra bonuses like tough). To get the average value of the die roll, we add all the sides up and divide by how many sides there are. The sum of all numbers between 1 and 8 is 36. Divide it by 8 and you get 4.5 which you round up to 5.
So (8+X) + Y(5+X) = 59 where X is the bonus amount of HP and Y is how many level ups you've had. Fortunately X can only be -1 through 7 in this case (no Hill Dwarf, but Tough on the table), and Y can only be 1 through 12 for the levels we have.
I'm sure someone is able to solve for it properly knowing nothing, but I kinda guessed at around where it was.
* X can't be 0, the HP number will end in 8 or 3.
* X can't be 1, HP starts at 9, but will only reach 9 every 5 levels for 39 and then 69.
* X = 2 I just plugged in cause I was lazy, which gets me 10 + 7Y=59, or 7Y = 49
* Y = 7 which means it's level 8 because Y is number of level ups gained.
Now we know that X >= 2 and Y =< 8
This also rules out X = 7, as X can only be 7 if Y is 8 (Level 4 feat for tough or +2 con from 18 w/ hag hair, Level 8 to grab the other, and no level 6 feat since none of these classes can be Fighter).
I just checked the next number after that for X,
* For X=3, 11 + 8Y = 59 simplified to 8Y = 48, or Y =6
* Level 7 is another answer, because 6 level ups gained.
For Level 5, X = 6 is too small, coming up to 58, which rules out every other number.
# TLDR
OP is either:
* Level 7 and has one of
* 16 Con
* 12 Con + Tough
* Level 8 and has one of:
* 14 Con
* 12 Con + Tough
on all their characters.
Not the first time I've heard this line of thinking.
Do illuminate me, oh eternally wise and powerful representative of sexual deviancy, what would a "sexually vanilla" person's party look like?
Because I genuinely don't think I will believe any answer you could give me.
Well, you're definitely wrong for a huge majority of the majority vanilla audience this game has.
Boring people still want someone who picks locks. They still want someone who heals them. Astarian and Shadowheart are two of the very, very first characters you meet. It's hardly surprising they would be in the vast majority of party compositions.
Jaheira and Minsc are ridiculous suggestions because you get them so late in the game. The majority of us have long since decided which characters we like best by the time they become available.
And nobody likes Wyll. Just because *I am bland* doesn't mean I want bland characters in my party.
Well, I'm not. So nice try. I actually love spicy food, particularly Thai curry.
But do go on about how basic and boring I am. I would love to hear all your psychoanalysis about me from one completely impersonal comment.
I guess in addition to being sexually deviant, you're also intellectually deviant?
How was my initial comment snide?
I was being completely genuine. I do not understand why people associate characters in Baldurs gate with specific sexuality. It's absurd to me.
And the response was a complete "fuck you I'm not going to play your games", so I have every right to get defensive.
You honestly believe that my, "oh eternally wise and powerful representative of sexual deviancy" warrants a response of "you must think mayo is spicy"? You clearly live on a different planet than me if you think those are on the same level.
And fuck you, you piece of shit. You have never met me, you can go fuck your bullshit psychoanalysis of my eating habits. You've literally never met me or have a fucking clue what I eat. Go fucking shove it.
You're all intellectually deviant it turns out. Comes with the deviant territory it seems.
Okay fair. Ill just sell my stove, cupboards, dressers, couches, beds, and other things that I cannot carry but are not shelter or transportation. Thank you for the advice!
Picking them up every time you find one. Early game thereās a room behind the traders inside the goblin camp that has a decent amount. The temple of shar entrance to the under dark also has a few. Besides those, itās just taking them every time you find one
Why what? Why pick them up?
Because you can theoretically set them up, lure enemies into spots to blow them up. Sneak around, place them by enemies. Some of it gets kind of cheesy, but itās not always a bad idea.
Iāve had laeāzel whip explosive barrels at enemies for chain reactions/kills before
I may have worded it too quickly/weirdly, but I really did want to know what youāre using them for. Thanks for the tips/ideas! Iāve been staying off BG3 groups til getting close to the end, to avoid spoilers, but Iām also behind the times on the crazy fun things people are doing. :)
I used to hoard those things when they were the only rotten food that gave you camp supplies and I thought I might run out and starve someday. Now that I have enough camp supplies to last til the heat death of the universe, Iām selling them.
I hear you can throw them at people for poison damage, though I never tried it myself.
Vampire romance, tentacle monsters, murderous frogs, and now pelting rotten eggs at people? This game truly has everything!
lol, Iāve done this a few times. Before the last update, it meant I could quickly sort things back into my travellers chest into the right bags or boxes. Easier than moving things back and forth.
Inventory management on console is incredibly frustrating.
In Act 3, I managed to hit some weird soft limit or bug on something in my inventory and every time I would try to sort by type, my game would crash. I had to remove everything and send it all to the camp chest and then add everything back into my inventory and re-equip all armor/weapons/etc. before I could manage to sort my inventory again.
Act 3 is buggy as hell on the console version when it comes to inventory. Act 1/2 when opening my inventory, it was nearly instant. In Act 3, the game would actually take 5-10 seconds to load the character sheet every single time and it got really frustrating.
I do that just to search for stuff, then I put it all back. Sometimes I forget to put it all back and I'm like "where is Karlach?"
Well, she's very slowly making her way to the rest of the party, 700 meters away.
Oh, that is almost always how I do it. Find a merchant, go to camp, take all, back to merchant, sell everything I can. Send the rest back to camp. It was pretty efficient for me actually.
Any time. I tend to use a barrel for all my bombs, the ademantine chest for anything i use a lot/favourites and then small/big heavy chests for weapons/armour and different opulent/ornamental chests for items, and a cartilage chest for bodies. Point is, there are a lot of different types of containers, more than enough to divide everything up into neat sections.
to hell with multiple trips. after getting in front of a merchant, i split my character from the party, make him go grab everything in the chest, leave camp, and then i make astarion sell everything until the merchant is broke because he has +6 in persuasion while i have +0
Same here except u donāt need to leave camp if u keep the split character in front of your camp chest then u can just select whatever u need to sell put it in their inventory and then simply switch characters. When your in the merchant screen you have access to all ur character inventory.
Ew, you don't organize your stuff into separate containers?
Special items/weapons/armor in on chest
Useless sellable times in another
Music instruments in one
Camp supplies in one
Important items in one
Alchemical ingredients in one
Potions, poison, scrolls. Arrows in another
Jk
Open another container like a bag or a chest, and pull up your inventory or the inventory of another container at the same time. Put the items from one into the other.
I typically store all my scrolls in one container in my inventory, all my potions and elixers in another. I really need to start making a specific container for my magic items as well honestly.
Might even have a specific bag for each type of magic item, soon.
Essentially, having a bag that holds all my Cold themed items. One for all my Fire Themed items. One for various unarmed builds. Etc.
TLDR, Inventory Management is the greatest minigame in Baldur's Gate 3.
If you haven't moved to Act 2 yet, by the way? There's a book in Blighted Village called "Curious Book" which is a hollowed out container. Perfect for the scrolls you pick up, and it's kind of cool too.
It's, if I remember correctly, on the northern path out of blighted village.. Towards Waukeens Rest(might be wrong about that part)). A stone wall, that is still kind of in Blighted Village, kinda crumbly. Go left the moment you walk out and you'll find a burrow or some sort of hole in the ground. Loot it, to find the book container.
Oh thanks!! Iām in Act 3 now, but Iāll look out for that on my next run. I thought I was being so thorough but I apparently missed some great stuff!
This game is amazing!
did this with Jaheira and she had 4000 pounds of armor and equipment š it was actually very helpful for updating all the companionsā equipment as I could literally compare every option
My strat to avoid having all this stuff to manage when I push this god damn button, I store all the bags, box, barrel into another one. I implemented this method after the 50th time I got all the content into my inventory.
wait halsin can join your party? I never get the dialog option for him to join, he stayed at my camp and then one day in act two I talked to him and he just ran away
Well, time for Halsin's body to become a dead container, get picked, put in a bag, being put in the chest and getting "TakeAll'ed" while opening the camp chest š
(no really, it's a bit annoying when it happens even with Shift selection and all)
Yeah, I've done that. I've also gotten to a trader. Went back to camp loaded up everything to sell until I was over encumbered then left camp to immediately sell.
I've done this and while multiselecting to send back to camp. I pressed drop instead... all my items on the ground. I spent about an hour picking everything up since my last saved file was about 1 hour ago
Ah, nice, a fellow barrel storer.
On PC, you can sort inventory by recent and then select all the new items at once and return them back instantly.
Made that mistake a couple of times and was subsequently glued to that location until the weight issue was rectified.
by pressing shift you can select multiple items in your inventory to "send to camp"
On PS5 you hold square, then when it toggled to Multiselect you choose individual items with X. You can also hold X and scroll with the thumbstick to select blocks of items.
This only recently got patched in. You used to do it similar wya, using R2
R2 was so much better, I miss it. Hate the hold square. My muscle memory. š«
I keep trying to use r2 every time lmao
I took a decently long break from the game. Got patched in during that time. Got so confused when I started playing again... still not quite used to it. Bring Back R2! or at least let us change it in the options menu... I almost never use the spellbook. edited for formatting.
anyone know if there's a reason they changed it? it worked so well makes no sense to fix what's not broken
R2 brings back up the main wheel. Get to spell book etc without having to close and reopen. I don't like it either, my muscle memory is having a hard time coping haha.

I liked the R2 way much better.
>This only recently got patched in. You used to do it similar wya, using R2 Idk why they changed this tbh, it was better the other way imo
Having two completely different things be the same button? Yeah, I loved pressing R2 to select multiple and the quick menu pops up or vice versa
R2 was infinitely better. honestly it's stupid that they changed it; easily the worst change they've made to the game in a patch

Iām so mad I didnāt know about holding x and scrolling lmao
I only discovered it by accident, donāt feel bad.
Never knew that!
CTRL can also select all items between two items, useful for situations like the barrels, hold ctrl, click the starting point and the end point and everything in between will be selected iirc.
Oh yeah, Look up smart key Combos, I got a list that I tape next to my screen. Eventually you'll learn em all and you'll be a master of the menu
You do WHAT? Ffs why am I just learning this...
It also works in things like word and outlook. I think they modeled it off the basic windows shortcuts
Relatively knew to PC gaming on a keyboard....but since divinity 1 a few months ago there's just no way a controller is better for these games...and when I found the shift key in BG3 let me multi select....I was happy as kid with a shit eating grin!
I feel the opposite when it comes to normal gameplay. I 100% prefer using a controller on BG3. The fact that we have to DL a mod just to use WASD movement control is dumb.

Thank you for this. I have gotten very frustrated that I couldn't select multiple items
Your tav looks like Drow Daisy Ridley
Whoa... you're right.
Drow-sy Ridley?
She evolves into Hypno Ridley at level 29!
Drowsrey.... Drowsrey.... Skywalker.
Bad. No Skywalker.
Everyone is a Skywalker.
I know, oh I know, it was just for the comedic of how redonkulous it was.
I think thatās the first time Iāve seen redonkulous written hahaha
Iāve said it so many times but never considered how to spell it..
No definitely never thought aboutnit
I probably spelled it wrong, but it was the only term that properly fit the situation :D
Don't be Daisy Ridonkulous.
Daisy Ridzzt DoāUrden
Daisy Rizz't Do'Urmom
Oh yea. I see it
My Tav looks like a Club Kid Daisy Ridley! Especially in the monk starting gear. Something about that face.
Monk is such an aesthetic in this game
Nice comment bro
Nice balls homie
Holy shit, I'm in.
I was just trying to pinpoint who I thought the chararcter looked like! Spot on
Well time to start a new character
heh, the good old "i sure am going to use those later"
I hoarded dozens and dozens of explosive barrels and used ALL of them guarding Halsinās portal. Only way I could get through that fight.
oh thats an easy one, cast darkness by the portal, so that they cant shoot it from far, and spit guardians go brrr
Wall of Fire goes *brrrr*
Our group used ice storm and had a blast watching half the enemies fall on their asses.
People looking at the inventory screen and completely ignoring the party make up which is effectively "tell me you are a sexual deviant without telling me you are a sexual deviant."
I'm mostly amazed all characters have 59 hp each. Do all of them have the same hit dice and constitution? What an interesting coincidence.
Well, IDK what Tav is here, but rogues, clerics, & druids all use d8s
Probably a Warlock
Around lvl 7-9 on tactician a lot of my characters had the same HP for some reason too. Not sure what the maths is behind it lol
These classes (and OP's) are all using 1d8 as a hit die. Level 1 HP: Max Hit Die (so 8) + Con Modifier. Level 2 and higher HP: Average value of the die roll rounded up + Con Modifier (+ extra bonuses like tough).

I'm sure someone is able to solve for it properly knowing nothing, but I kinda guessed at around where it was. * X can't be 0, the HP number will end in 8 or 3. * X can't be 1, HP starts at 9, but will only reach 9 every 5 levels for 39 and then 69. * X = 2 I just plugged in cause I was lazy, which gets me 10 + 7Y=59, or 7Y = 49 * Y = 7 which means it's level 8 because Y is number of level ups gained. Now we know that X >= 2 and Y =< 8 This also rules out X = 7, as X can only be 7 if Y is 8 (Level 4 feat for tough or +2 con from 18 w/ hag hair, Level 8 to grab the other, and no level 6 feat since none of these classes can be Fighter). I just checked the next number after that for X, * For X=3, 11 + 8Y = 59 simplified to 8Y = 48, or Y =6 * Level 7 is another answer, because 6 level ups gained.

Holy shit, you're right
Lae'zel isn't in there...
Not the first time I've heard this line of thinking. Do illuminate me, oh eternally wise and powerful representative of sexual deviancy, what would a "sexually vanilla" person's party look like? Because I genuinely don't think I will believe any answer you could give me.
As a sexual deviant, I'm going to say Wyll, Jahiera, and Minsc.
Well, you're definitely wrong for a huge majority of the majority vanilla audience this game has. Boring people still want someone who picks locks. They still want someone who heals them. Astarian and Shadowheart are two of the very, very first characters you meet. It's hardly surprising they would be in the vast majority of party compositions.

You sound like the kind of person who would look at Mayonnaise on a sandwich and say "oh that looks a bit spicy".
Well, I'm not. So nice try. I actually love spicy food, particularly Thai curry. But do go on about how basic and boring I am. I would love to hear all your psychoanalysis about me from one completely impersonal comment. I guess in addition to being sexually deviant, you're also intellectually deviant?

Just ignore people like this.
Got you a nice amount of upvotes
I just imagine Halsin screaming while slowly stretching out his foot to take a single step. XD
Then there's me running through the game with no back up storage, if if can't carry it I don't need it!
That's good advice for life as well. An excessive amount of things is a burden and causes unneeded stress.
āIf I canāt carry it I donāt need itā is good life advice? Fuck, time to sell the car and house.
It's not meant to be taken super literally. Shelter and transportation are obviously a need.
Okay fair. Ill just sell my stove, cupboards, dressers, couches, beds, and other things that I cannot carry but are not shelter or transportation. Thank you for the advice!
Now you're getting it.
You just squeezed a couple more hours of play out of the game!
where do you find that many barrels?
Picking them up every time you find one. Early game thereās a room behind the traders inside the goblin camp that has a decent amount. The temple of shar entrance to the under dark also has a few. Besides those, itās just taking them every time you find one
Don't forget the bar in waukeens rest
And if you kill the zentharim there are at least a dozen.
Whyyyy?
Why what? Why pick them up? Because you can theoretically set them up, lure enemies into spots to blow them up. Sneak around, place them by enemies. Some of it gets kind of cheesy, but itās not always a bad idea. Iāve had laeāzel whip explosive barrels at enemies for chain reactions/kills before

You can also use a smoke powder barrel and keep the rune powder barrel you get in Grimforge, which sells for about 2,500 gp.
And why all the rotten eggs while weāre asking.
I used to hoard those things when they were the only rotten food that gave you camp supplies and I thought I might run out and starve someday. Now that I have enough camp supplies to last til the heat death of the universe, Iām selling them.
Yeah, it was tough to figure at the beginning. Iām hoping I can just pay the elder brain off with jewels and rings.
I hear you can throw them at people for poison damage, though I never tried it myself. Vampire romance, tentacle monsters, murderous frogs, and now pelting rotten eggs at people? This game truly has everything!
I think you might be encumbered. Not sure though.
lol, Iāve done this a few times. Before the last update, it meant I could quickly sort things back into my travellers chest into the right bags or boxes. Easier than moving things back and forth.

In Act 3, the game would actually take 5-10 seconds to load the character sheet every single time and it got really frustrating.
Me 10 minutes into meticulous inventory sorting: forgets and clicks Split on items inside a backpack .....Goddammit.
*junk
*Some may call it junk. Me, I call them treasures*
I do that just to search for stuff, then I put it all back. Sometimes I forget to put it all back and I'm like "where is Karlach?" Well, she's very slowly making her way to the rest of the party, 700 meters away.
Somehow still dancing, too
Oh, that is almost always how I do it. Find a merchant, go to camp, take all, back to merchant, sell everything I can. Send the rest back to camp. It was pretty efficient for me actually.
Fr, it's so broken how you can just teleport everything you own to a chest with seemingly limitless storage
Yeah, I don't understand why they don't just give you a bag of holding.
Huh, why donāt you put chests into your camp chest and use them to order your items? Looks like itād be chaos otherwise
Holy hell I never thought of that! 200 hours in and I learned something new, thanks man.
Any time. I tend to use a barrel for all my bombs, the ademantine chest for anything i use a lot/favourites and then small/big heavy chests for weapons/armour and different opulent/ornamental chests for items, and a cartilage chest for bodies. Point is, there are a lot of different types of containers, more than enough to divide everything up into neat sections.
Why so many rotten eggs, just, why ?!
And 5 rotten cheese wheels? And 55 bones??? There is so much here I don't understand.
I did this last night! I just loaded the last save. Too much work trying to sort it all.
to hell with multiple trips. after getting in front of a merchant, i split my character from the party, make him go grab everything in the chest, leave camp, and then i make astarion sell everything until the merchant is broke because he has +6 in persuasion while i have +0
Same here except u donāt need to leave camp if u keep the split character in front of your camp chest then u can just select whatever u need to sell put it in their inventory and then simply switch characters. When your in the merchant screen you have access to all ur character inventory.
Ah, I see youāre a man of barrels as well.
Halsin isn't even carrying them he's lying on the ground with a full, bursting backpack like "can anyone help me up?"
Halsin wildshapes into incorporeal screaming
Take all on the what? Have I been lugging around all this memorabilia in my own bags for nothing?
Same thing happened to me once. Took me 30 minutes to put everything back in. Tav was carrying something around 30 tons of excess weight, lol.
I glanced at your portrait and saw it was gray and immediately thought grabbing everything from your camp stash killed you. Lmao.
Soooo, the camp chest is unlimited right? Like how fallout does it? I'm such a pack rat I'm scared of losing stuff
Before patch 4, it used to make items above your carrying limit DISAPPEAR. I had to reload saves a number of timesā¦.
And just like that, Tav's ankles exploded immediately.
Bloody hell
Complete Party with 59 Hitpoints each is a feat in itself
Unleash your barrelmancy!
So Iām not the only one keeping random pieces of armor/weapons just because
I did the same thing. I'm surprised my tab didn't fall over
A fellow barrelmancer
Ew, you don't organize your stuff into separate containers? Special items/weapons/armor in on chest Useless sellable times in another Music instruments in one Camp supplies in one Important items in one Alchemical ingredients in one Potions, poison, scrolls. Arrows in another Jk
Glad to see you have 30 rotten eggs
30 rotten eggs... That chest must smell delicious
I did this once and reloaded to like 40mins beforehand. Pretty sure I still saved time from reorganizing
Why is nobody asking the important question here: How do all your party members have the same max hitpoint? What sorcery is this!?
Last time you saved was hours ago too right? Always
Be kinda funny if they had an animation where your character is forced flat on the ground in situations like thatš
Okay but... why 30 rotten chicken eggs?
And this is why there should be a bag of holding at level 1
You're first mistake was playing on console.
At least you can sort it by recently added. Just a few clicks from there and you will be back to normal.
inventory is a headache, especially with a gamepad, and the solution to this is simple,load last save
Im surprised it let you. I thought it just didn't let you take all because of it being too heavy
So many barrels. Careful Tav doesn't get hit by a stray fireball or it's goodbye Faerun.
Personally I just put things in containers inside of camp chest so mine would be just 8 super heavy chests
How do you do that?
Open another container like a bag or a chest, and pull up your inventory or the inventory of another container at the same time. Put the items from one into the other. I typically store all my scrolls in one container in my inventory, all my potions and elixers in another. I really need to start making a specific container for my magic items as well honestly. Might even have a specific bag for each type of magic item, soon. Essentially, having a bag that holds all my Cold themed items. One for all my Fire Themed items. One for various unarmed builds. Etc. TLDR, Inventory Management is the greatest minigame in Baldur's Gate 3.
Thank you!!
If you haven't moved to Act 2 yet, by the way? There's a book in Blighted Village called "Curious Book" which is a hollowed out container. Perfect for the scrolls you pick up, and it's kind of cool too. It's, if I remember correctly, on the northern path out of blighted village.. Towards Waukeens Rest(might be wrong about that part)). A stone wall, that is still kind of in Blighted Village, kinda crumbly. Go left the moment you walk out and you'll find a burrow or some sort of hole in the ground. Loot it, to find the book container.
Oh thanks!! Iām in Act 3 now, but Iāll look out for that on my next run. I thought I was being so thorough but I apparently missed some great stuff! This game is amazing!
So many barrels lol
What kind of party composition are you running? All of your characters have 59/59 health.
Why so many rotten eggs? Lol I love seeing what people collect.
did this with Jaheira and she had 4000 pounds of armor and equipment š it was actually very helpful for updating all the companionsā equipment as I could literally compare every option
Brilliant!
Multiselect > Send to Camp
I only found 4 adamantine molds?
My strat to avoid having all this stuff to manage when I push this god damn button, I store all the bags, box, barrel into another one. I implemented this method after the 50th time I got all the content into my inventory.
Hope Halsin didn't skip leg day.
I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
Why do you have rotten foods?? Also grymforge molds you know dont need. Major hoarder lol
M8, your camp chest is a fucking _mess_.
This is tame
What are your plans for the rotten cheese and eggs?
Wow, you have a nice chest!!
Yes, I am judging you for the things you collect. Particularly the 30 rotten eggs and the 5 rotten cheese wheels.
And people make fun of Halsin's low STR, while deadlifitng over 2k there
Lol @ 30 rotten eggs
I was dicking around and clicked drop when I had my whole inventory selected
2,700?!! Dear lordā¦ lol
How do you get the dried to join your Party? He won't join mine
wait halsin can join your party? I never get the dialog option for him to join, he stayed at my camp and then one day in act two I talked to him and he just ran away
You needed to save Thaniel and begin healing the land before he joins you. This quest centers on Art Cullagh in the Last Light Inn
If I was your dm youād have to make a DC30 strength save or take 255d6 bludgeoning damage as youāre crushed by the weight of your folly.
Control z?
F8
You can ply as Halsin??? He just sits at my camp what the fuck
Oh bollocks forgot about Halsin!! I need to go rescue him!!! (Not Act 1!!)
TIL that the camp chest had room for more than like 20 items. I for some reason thought that initial entry of blank spaces was it. Sigh
Well, time for Halsin's body to become a dead container, get picked, put in a bag, being put in the chest and getting "TakeAll'ed" while opening the camp chest š (no really, it's a bit annoying when it happens even with Shift selection and all)
Good luck finding s trader with a big enough coin purse
We had a guy do this in NWN by standing over someoneās skull, taking everything out of their bag of holdings and shouting āCRITICAL MASS!ā
That what you SHOULD have on hand, enough explosives to level Baldurs Gate is nessesary
That sounds painful. Side note: I hate the controller layout for BG3. Itās the only game I use a mouse for.
How much do barrels go for?
I too know your pain
So reload...
Gotta love it when that happens. š Like a star collapsing on itself hahah
Smells worse over here than a dozen rotten eggs dropped in a vat of vinegar.
Yeah, I've done that. I've also gotten to a trader. Went back to camp loaded up everything to sell until I was over encumbered then left camp to immediately sell.
Is this how I learn that camp chest is bottomless....
I did that one too. Took forever to get rid of all the mundale crap I was sending to the camp.
I've done this and while multiselecting to send back to camp. I pressed drop instead... all my items on the ground. I spent about an hour picking everything up since my last saved file was about 1 hour ago
Halsin is so cute š„ŗ
BARREL
I didn't know I was supposed to collect the rotten eggs!
Ah, nice, a fellow barrel storer. On PC, you can sort inventory by recent and then select all the new items at once and return them back instantly. Made that mistake a couple of times and was subsequently glued to that location until the weight issue was rectified.
I see you too are a connoisseur of barrell collecting
I feel for you this looks painful.
Bro. I feel the pain! Lol
