How do we identify items in Baldur's Gate 3?

[darkdefiler]

It’s like opening Christmas presents! Or birthday gifts. It’s exciting to wonder what it is! And usually disappointing when you open it.

How it work now?

You don't need to identify items?

[Wolfgang421]

Yeah, as much as I enjoyed picking up "unifentified magical items" in NWN and earlier D&D based cRPGs, I am glad it has been done away with. I guess along with resizing to fit the owner it also comes with a handy indestructable sales tag that also gives the stats.

You pick it up

Then you drop them in your coop partner's inventory without them noticing, just like all those nautiloid tanks.

You know from the moment you pick it up or even glance what it is, pretty sure Identify spell won't be ingame which is only used for obscure or special magic items.

yep, no identify - another aspect of D&D trivialized by Larian. That and a metric ton of magic items - way too many.

[darkdefiler]

thats sad info :/

[eRe4s3r]

Uh identify is already trivialized in 5e proper, by ritual casting and wearing auto-identifying it.

You can literally get nekkid before rest and wear all non ID items and when you awake they are identified. Better hope none of em are cursed but that is super rare heh.......
