Or even dye them. Inventory management is so bad. I try to use unique containers for various things but it’s getting harder and harder to find stuff when I need it.
Different icons would be nice Scroll bag Potion bag Gem bag
You get the idea
Elixir bag. Oil bag. Potion bag.
Gaaaah, do I hate looking for the right bottle!
A search feature on console would be outstanding. It’s so easy to find things on PC, but takes forever on console.
Also, you can’t access items in a bag without an action if you’re in combat. So, you can hand a potion to a teammate if it’s in your main inventory, but not if it’s in a bag.
That technically matches RAW 5e behavior (unless it’s a bag of holding or similar), but should be handwaved for a video game given that containers are necessary for inventory management.
Oh god, this so much, or icons, just something to help me remember, “Where the hell did I put all my potions at?”
I keep containers in camp with “one of everything” cause I’m that kind of collector. In my first playthrough I just grabbed random containers and sent them to camp, but that was a mistake because they all looked the same. Second playthrough, I tried using only unique containers and tried to associate them with their contents. For example, the container you get on the illithid ship contained “weird unique shit”; and the pre-order bonus gilded container you find in camp contained only unique armor; and a mundane container contained crap like silverware you looted.
Every once in a while I’d sort the container contents and restack if there were duplicates. This happened regularly in my container with books, for example.
So my QoL request (on top of naming containers) is a restack option, which combines stacks of identical items.
Omg YES! Restacking is a must. So much time wasted just manually stacking potions arrows and scrolls
While not the greatest solution, if you use the built in sorting and swap from value to type or any of the other sorting, it should restack items. Granted, if you’ve done any manual sorting you have to kiss that goodbye :(
This is the biggest issue I have in the game. The inventory system is god awful. There’s no way to really organize things. And viewing items by icon instead of name is so frustrating when trying to find stuff.
An alphabetical sorting option would help a lot.
I’m sure many of you are already aware of the list of containers…
https://bg3.wiki/wiki/ContainersAlso there are different icons for and names, as subtypes of many of those groups. So there actually are a decent amount of unique/identifiable containers in the game, but you have to know where they are first.
I’m all for more customization and autofilter options tho. Bring all the quality of life enhancements on.
What’s really frustrating is that if you put your scrolls inside of a bag, then they disappear from your context menu. Potions are probably the same too, but I didn’t try sorting those after failing to sort my scrolls.
