THIS GAME NEEDS AoE LOOTING
I am a compulsive looter who will take everything that isn't bolted down. Yes, that includes moldy carrots because I MIGHT NEED IT LATER.

This is a very time consuming process so just let me loot in an radius around me when it comes to containers and such.

ALSO PLEASE LET ME LEARN HOW TO REACH ACROSS TABLES.

Thank you devs.

There is an achievement for consuming all alcohol supplies... would you be willing to test long rest with all rotten food supplies :D?

Apparently if you play with a controller, there *is* an area loot option. Odd that it isn't included for keyboard users.

If you press the left Alt key it highlights most objects and items. Notice that I said most not all. Also I do think the pickup range should be increased.

Obviously there is potential for improvement, but are you asking for one button to pickup everything in a radius?

Even the original games had AoE looting..

Won't matter. 2 rounds of auto loot and your patry would be overcumbered. Gotta selective loot here.

enhanced ones did, but we do need aoe looting, especially since theres quite a few objects that are placed weird and aren't lootable

I do wish the mouse and keyboard had the area examine/loot the controller gets

Nobody said anything about "auto" looting. Only AoE looting.

Hm, true. It might be mildly useful then. The main issue is weight anyway, but yeah, a few less clicks could be ok... unless you activate traps in the process (and they must decide how to deal with it - because if you can onpen stuff from distance traps are basically obsolete).

Yes please! Also, I hate that you can reach higher up objects *sometimes* but then 10 feet away from that loot you *can't* reach something lower and closer. Like, I have arms, can I please raise them above my head, lol? So they at least need to increase grab distance a bit if possible.

Solasta has area loot, plus you can send looters to go collect all the random stuff you don't pick up and sell it for you(while taking a small cut of everything they sell). After playing that, BG3 feels like we are in the last generation of technology, at least when it comes to looting.
