QoL : Looting all near bodies
Honestly this will really help a lot ! It is really cumbersome to have to loot each bodies. Why not just open one single loot window for all bodies in the vicinity ? Lot of games have implemented that system...

Agreed! Luckily, there was a mod for this in EA. Give it some time and you will be able to add that mod to the current version of the game.

Or maybe you just want auto loot on everything you walk near to. Loot micromanagement is most of the looting fun in this game.

I kinda like having to manually loot. More immersive. But it wouldn't hurt to have the option for people who like to be able to autoloot.

That function is already there... you just need to access it.

That should be a skill imo, not a setting/functionality. It breaks immersion in a RPG like this, where you interact directly with lots of different objects/people. Also, this could potentially ruin getting key items, because you wouldn't be able to tell from which body you got them (it may be an important character or lore detail). Doesn't make much sense to me. It only takes a few seconds to check bodies, and RPGs have always been like this. No offense, though.

Is it a skill or a setting? I couldn't find it. I'm curious now.

Controls setting. Your basically open up a loot window for everything around a certain radius.

B does nothing? I found it if I hold A on controller but not on keyboard

Desperately need an area looting option like it was in PoE. Automatically loots all unlocked containers & bodies in a 15m radius and opens up a loot window for you to pick what you want.

Looting 1 crate at a time gets excruciatingly painful and tiring the longer you play. I'm at 180 hrs of gameplay, friggin 30% of that is looting 1 barrel at a time. Thats 54hrs of wasting my time when a simple area loot feature could have fixed it and let players enjoy the game more.

Personal take:
Checking boxes/crates/chests is part of the exploration and immersion.

Some of the objects are intentionally hidden in the scenario, for lore and storytelling reasons... You have to activelly look for stuff in the scenarios, so Larian doesn't expect you to pick every single item in a single playthrough. You're supposed to miss some of these, actually. This game is not just about min/maxing, it's about immersion and roleplaying. It's not Path of Exile or a looter shooter. I understand your anxiety to pick up everything you see, but I don't think it's the point of Baldur's Gate 3 or any other CRPG. This is not even a competitive game or MMORPG... In fact, you can pretty much finish the entire game without looting a single box.

Autoloot enabled by default would heavily affect the environmental storytelling and would make it difficult to point exactly where key items came from (which body? which chest? who dropped it?). This game relies too much on "hidden object" mechanics. The place where you pick up an item tells a story about it, the location, the characters, etc.

But, since you can already do autoloot in the controller, just make it an option at once... Just please don't leave it enabled by default.
