Too difficult to pickup items!
Picking up items after a fight is far too difficult.

First of all, the only way I can see what even can be picked up is by highlighting everything, which I shouldn't have to do. I should be able to see the items easily. Most times, the items are hidden underneath debris.

Then, to pick the items up, I have to zoom all the frickin' way in, and even then it's a struggle. On more than one occasion I've actually walked away from items, frustrated because I couldn't pick them up easily enough.

There are too many little things like this in Original Sin preventing it from being a great RPG. All this stuff is starting to add up.

This must be your first time playing an RPG with isometric camera.

On the other side, he can always count on massive haters and trolls support.

I do agree that 99% of the time the only way to properly see what kind of lootable items (not interactable objects) are in your vicinity is to press ALT to bring up the text highlights. I end up feeling like I'm looking at ugly UI instead of the beatiful game assets.

It's functional, but it really takes out of the experience and doesn't look or feel great. It would have be awesome if the Devs could have found a better alternative to highlighting items, but I guess it wasn't a focus...

After level 10 dont bother pickup (gear - weapon) greens/blues, just go to that awesome skeleton mage from time to time for legendary's. He is left of the town where the Orc's and Northmen are, left of the Mill.

And some of you noops don't understand, using ALT wont help, the stupid items are UNDER DEBRIS so you cannot reach it, no matter how you turn the camera or zoom in !.

Holding down ALT helps to see the stuff but it's still sometimes difficult to actually pick them up. I found that you can often put your cursor right over the labels that show up and click them to pick up the smaller stuff.

Like... what? Just have the stuff magically show up in your inventories? Plus you're already in an isometric view. You're never going to forget even for a second that you're in a video game.

Some of you guys didn't read my post.

I already know how to highlight items. I made that clear in the first paragraph. Even when I do highlight items it's STILL too difficult to pick them up.

And yes I've played isometric games before. I've never had a problem picking items up like this.

Defend... defend... defend... I mean, Jesus H Christ, is this ever getting tiresome. Original Sin has a hell of a lot of problems. If Larian is going to make a better game then this ♥♥♥♥ needs to be ironed out.

Shoving all these problems under the carpet isn't going to solve anything. BTW, outside of this forum... at other gaming forums... people are noting the exact same problems.

The fan-boyism at this forum is f'ing rampant. This place is becoming worse than the Assetto Corsa forum.
