    I haven’t played, but does BG3 have the curse of inventory tetris?

    As a D&D game, it really shouldn’t have inventory issues. At low levels the only issue should be the weight of the bag. At high levels players should have access to bags of holding so that they can essentially keep anything they come across and not worry about the weight. Also, as D&D, your items should just be in a list.

      It’s not inventory Tetris at least or even an issue of a carrying capacity (because you can right-click and send items to camp at anytime)…it issue is the massive amount of items you accumulate and the difficulty of properly organizing/grouping and finding them. Sorting by stats & abilities is next to impossible…so your characters most likely are equipping the best suited gear…and the potions, ingredients, scrolls…

      They are just in a list. You can sort and filter the list, and certain small items will get added to pouches, eg keys.

      The only issue is that the game doesn’t signal what is worth picking up and what is not. If you’re an obsessive, you can pick up 20 things in every room. Most of then are only interactive so that you can throw them at people. If you want to pick up 500 candles from a castle and sell them at 0.5gp each, you can. If you mean to do so, fine. If you’re just doing it because slamming “take all” from every corpse is quicker, well then you are causing your problem.

      If you pick up the weapon of every enemy you’ve killed, you kind of deserve it. That isn’t d&d. By the second act you have magical weapons and never need a common weapon or armour again.

      If by inventory Tetris you mean something like RE4’s attaché case system, then no there’s no reorganizing like that - it’s closer to the Witcher 3’s system, with a big grid of square images for each item and a section to the left depicting the character and where equipment can be slotted in. It’s all just a bit cumbersome - item images are small and sometimes fairly generic, sorting options are few, juggling which characters are holding what, characters’ inventories that are back at camp can’t be accessed unless you go back and switch them into your party (AFAIK), which involves telling one character to stay behind, confirming with them, going over to the new character, asking them to join, THEN accessing their inventory.
