bag managment

[alcash]

So iv been using backpacks and pouches to try to keep my inventory from being so cluttered, all is going well, but then as the game goes on and as i keep adding to the bag it does not stack items. For some reason the game will not stack items inside a bag you keep adding to so if you add 100 arrows one at a time to the bag it will have a 100 separate arrows, you can just take all and when it goes to your inventory it will stack right then put back but i hope they fix this bug.

On side note it would be great if we could name bags so we can label them like scrolls, potions and so on.

Yes I second this. I have 8 bags in my backpack but I keep on picking the wrong one without naming.

Are you also having issues with the bags not stacking items you add to it?

Whats real annoying is it will change how all my items are on my hot bar bc of there being so many stacks.

Yeah, it's hard to believe, but things just don't always stack in this game. I mean if it's for some reason complicated to stack them right away when you add them to a bag, then make a frikken button or whatever. People have to stack them manually (I do at least), otherwise it's a total mess.

I suggest trying this mod out:

Started using it early on and have loved it sense. There's even an option to turn each autosort bag in to a bag of holding too.

This would be amazing. I did find a book shaped container for scrolls and such.

There is also this:

But not everyone is ready to use mods, especially since they are not officially supported :c

There is also a teddy bear container - it's located in the swamp in Act 1.

I thought so 3 patches ago :D

Yeah not stacking can be an issue. But as far as naming that would help. I mainly use different types of containers.

I took a set alchemy pouch, food bag and key ring chain from a companion. I also use the book container. I have chest, barrel, backpack, pouch and box container in multiples. For example, i use chest as my container for gear. I have chest for melee weapons, ranged weapons, armors, gloves and boots, rings and amulets, etc.

And before you get confused, this isn't in the character inventory. This is in my traveler chest. I send items to the camp if i don't see the need to hold on it.

the worst part is how it effects the layout of my hotbars, i get it all nice a clean then i have 9 scrolls of the same spell and then its just sloppy

Yeah, that's fair. :) I understand.

When adding items to containers, if you want them to auto-stack with the contents that are already there (*assuming* the new quantity is below the threshold of a "max cap" stack), simply open the container, and drop the selection into the ICON of the container in question (located above the "> Sorting Options" bar.)
