Pro tip: use those empty pouches/ backpacks for item organization (lemmy.world)

After ~450 hours in the game, I realized something that I'd been wanting was in the game the whole time, just not explicitly: a way to put your items into "folders".

I often wondered what the purpose was of placing empty backpacks and pouches throughout the game and making them show up in the alt-view. I figured they had items in them at different difficulties or previous versions, or they were simply there for aesthetics (I think most likely option). It only just occurred to me that I could pick them up and store items in them to sort out my stupid long inventory lists.

Gale has a backpack with all his little scrolls. Lae'zel has a backpack that somehow holds 20 daggers, 12 javelins and a spear. And astarion has a pouch with with enough magical arrows to make the Fat Man look like a firecracker. Now the stuff I actually plan on using is much easier to find.

That's actually brilliant, I feel so behind everyone else with their nested pouches and item-forwarding systems.

it's really just to save me the hassle of having to remember the next day. like "... wait who was this for?" and having to try and figure out who I'd decided to give it to the night before.

grab all the pouches! I probably have tons in my camp chest right now just waiting to be used. lol

small pouches are also a handy way of packing explosives into one small concentrated area 😉
