I almost gave up because of the atrocious inventory management. I lost many items because of it.
Or maybe I didn’t. I don’t know because everything is all over place.
My party is suboptimal in weapons, armor, and magic items because it's too slow to pickpocket the non-selected party to see their inventory and the camp chest and compare it to everything else
I wish that at camp it let you cycle through everyone, not just the people to have in your party. That way you could level everyone up and give them the best gear without the tedium of having to go to each person and put them in or take them out of the party.
this I can't understand. at all. if everyone is in camp, why can I not browse everyone's inventory? it makes no sense.
how many times have I got an item that's awesome for a character that's not in my party, but I have no inventory so I have someone else pick it up.
unless you're diligent and sending every single thing to camp, it's a pain in the ass to swap gear around. I still use the goody-bag method for gear drops. but it's not perfect and it can fail if you don't do management every time you play.
If you click on an inventory slot on your character sheet it will pop up a window with all available items anywhere in your inventory that can be equipped there.
Imagine if you could just sort and search. A lot of the problems DOS2 had that people complained about, they just kept for BG3. I don't think Larian play their own games.
You can sort by type as well, there definitely could be more options but I really haven't had many issues with what's already available when finding stuff. And yes you can search for an item.
