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.

Moving shit around is awful on the PS5. I'll just keep my 25 rows of garbage on Tav. Unless I'm playing a Str character, then it's more like 50 rows. Finding shit you know you have is also awful.

I've yet to ever turn in Dribbles because by the time I find all his pieces, I've lost one. Hope the reward is garbage.

Lost the plans to the crossbow, but there's a good chance I sold them because they look like every other scrap of paper I grab to sell. Which reminds me I'm probably still carrying around the other parts. It's honestly a minor miracle I can complete the gauntlet of Shar.

Edit: I checked. Reward for Dribbles is indeed garbage.

Plans for a crossbow?

At the Gondian factory. Pick up the plans and two parts, find the table, done. But I made two trips instead of finishing it in one and lost the plans between. Then I also managed to leave the orphic hammer behind and thus ended my honor run because I selected the wrong dialog option.

Thought I had it, but it was on a character I'd swapped out.
