Rename bags and backpacks

[Kamuizin]

Just a little suggestion that i think was made more than once, the game should allow us to rename backs and backpacks (and other containers) to allow us to better our micromanagement. We're stuck with the Traveller's Chest (unless you want risk items disappearing) and a way to label what each bag has would work wonders.

Personally I do not have much problem. But then I am used to four travellers' chests in singleplayer...

That put aside you can find at the Blighted Village a container in form of a book. That is a nice looking container for scrolls.

You know about the multiple avatar characters trick?

You can use that and create multiple avatars, without actually using multiple avatars. Once you store the additional avatar characters away, the traveller's chests of them will not go away. You an additional green, red and blue one.

You can also put container into container. So e.g. you find a gilded chest - put it into the traveller's chest. Use different kind of containers and you have sorta kind of more options.

Good trick, but my PC will probably explode if i try to open BG3 4 times.

The container in container is what i'm thinking to do, but i wish i could label them, so i can know what's inside without the need to open.

They could make a storeroom in the camp, where anything drop there stays, but i'm good with the ability to label containers.

So, you can't label/name bags or containers, BUT ...

The Bags Bags Bags mod will give you auto-sorting containers that automatically sort items by type, such as arrows, potions, scrolls, grenades, quest items, books, etc. I think this is what you want, probably, and you might find useful, so I suggest it. The game already gives you three auto-sorting containers for camp supplies, alchemy ingredients, and keys. This is just adding more such containers like that.

You do not have to do it four times ~

Trying the trick will not hurt, especially since you are not playing with four instances all the time. You just need to do it once after all, right?

Or maybe the issue is that there's simply too much trash loot for players to manage? Too many consumable items everywhere.

BG 1&2 have 16 inventory slots per character and somehow even that works.

BG3 on the other hand, is filled with nonsensical trash items everywhere. When a new-found magic item immediately gets marked "add to wares", you know it's not good.

You learn early not to loot everything.
But beware. Some important(valuable items have no colour markers at all.

Tell that to my bag of holding and NPCs i recruited and dismissed just to be item holder in BG2.

Still, BG2 didn’t have the absurd quantity of magical items that BG3 has, which is more a Divinity trait than a D&D trait itself.

Like the book outside Blighted Village for scrolls, I tend to prioritize named bags/containers for sorting. Same for chests. I send a Heavy, Rustic, Ornate, Cartilaginous, Painted, Grimey, Adamantine, and Wooden chest to camp for sorting in the traveler's chest and then keep the Apprentice, Heavy, Old, Patched-Together backpacks for main character sorting.

All this to say, yes, I think renaming bags could help.

Agree with this. The game has an annoying habit of automatically adding companions' backpacks to your inventory either when they leave the party or else when you leave a region (eg the game keeps giving you Halsin's backpack when you leave the Shadowlands). Being able to name a backpack after the owner (eg 'Halsin's backpack') would help a lot when it needs to be returned to its owner.
