It's merely a demonstration of how many explosive barrels exist in this game (and this isn't even all of them).

The encounter could be swapped for any other encounter and the result would be the same.

There are to many damn barrels in this game, and the one's with oil and wine in them shouldn't explode.
Yes there are a lot. Like A LOT of barrels. It's true. Is oil/wine broken, because they explode? Yes, they are. Can all of this be fixed by Larian or in worst case scenario mod makers - for SURE. Hopefully for all of us it's not the last game build and some things might change)

Yes but you want them completley gone, and some of us like them, firewine isnt explosive anymore now it kind brakes open and catches fire but no explosions. For someone who has said they have played a ton of hours (I do not confirm cuz I dont care) you would think you would know this by now and many people have told you. Oil does explode, sure maybe realistically it shouldn't but realistically no character would be able to weild a massive sword that is perpetually on fire either or read minds, shoot flame from their hands. So some suspension of disbelief is required in fantasy, as long as the oil and firewine isnt out of place in the world like in the owl bear cave where it shouldn't be, then I dont see a problem with it being around towns encampments and places people would need oil or drink wine.

I can for sure say your request to remove 100% or all barrels in the game will never happen by the devs, which is good because a lot of us enjoy them. You will need a mod for that for sure.

I'm against petitioning to remove stuff from a game that just you personally don't like. Maybe don't be so selfish? I like barrels, because believe it or not.. you have to put wine and oil in SOMETHING. Oil and wine barrels are extremely common in midevil/fantasy. Next you'll want to get rid of forks, candles, knives.. daggers... It doesn't end. If you don't like the barrels, find a mod to change them into dogs. Just like people do with spiders.

This guy counted all the barrels (in partch 6) - big kudos to the video creator.

There are (were) 105 barrels in the game

Nautoloid tanks - 13
Water Barrels - 15
Smokepowder - 19
Oil - 27
Firewine - 30
Runepowder Barrel - 1

-------

For me personally they don't make a big diffrence, you cant toss them all over the map like in DOS2 and its more of a chore to actually make them work this time around

It would also be worth noting that water barrels for sure dont explode obviously and tanks unless you drag some with you will never show up in act 1 off the ship at least for a total of 77 barrels, of which fire wine also do not explode anymore they do leave a fire surface for like 2 turns but its rather small if its just one so that is 47 explosive barrels in the game.

Ironically the majority of those barrels are in the same location roughly, which is mostly in or near the goblin camp, because even the underdark salune outpost is right underneath the goblin camp depending on how you got there. a total of 63 barrels are within 3 locations. none of which feel out of place or like wait why is that there? there is often a story via nearby items that explain random barrels like a tipped cart or potential smuggling going on.

Actually. its only 2 months ago, since you created a thread about something completely different (a new class you want in game called barrelman).

That was only 2 months ago? Time is dragging, holy crap. But yeah harping on about barrels for months on end is kinda sad ngl.

The entire map! you said it yourself deal with it! Same as if you pile all the wooden crates that are in the entire map or whatever item... YOu can do the same thing with grenade cos they are unlimited.. but you would have to waste hours and hours if people want to do that...

But i don't see you crying about those??? Like how you can get high ground advantage with those crates everywhere. Ofcourse there will be alot of them if you pile them on.... i mean what did you expect. lol
Anyway we talked this to death aready time to give up hehe cos at this point it just looks like you want to get barrel named after you..

1) There are plenty other people who dislike the explosive barrels, they just aren't as active in participating in feedback as I am.

2) I'm not asking for the literal removal of the barrels themselves, just the removal of their explosive properties. Specifically, oil and wine should not explode. They don't explode in the real world, and there's just to many damn explosions in this game.

That's WAY too many, and oil and wine shouldn't be explosive to begin with. That's 89 explosive barrels in Act 1 alone. That's utterly ridiculous. At most there should be 3-5 in the entirety of the Act.

Waiting for a mod that removes all hazardous barrels from the game, or atleast reduces them by 95%

I'd be content with just a toggle option to render oil/wine barrels non-explosive. That would be adequate.

don't even think about bringing your cheap Barrelmantic parlor tricks around here
