3 friends and I played this. They all liked it I did not. It felt like a shopping simulator.
How quickly gear became obsolete in DOS2 is a super valid criticism. No loot, no matter how unique, ever felt special because you knew as soon as you leveled up there'd be better at the merchants.
Since Baldur's Gate 3 is built on a framework of D&D 5e, however, there should be a lot less shopping - upgrades are rare in 5th edition and almost always found while adventuring instead of bought from stores. Good news for anyone who hates shopping!
Both of my playthroughs were completed before that feature was added.
Gonna have to wait until after BG3!
It's not just the shopping part of it but also the way unique items with unique effects get deprecated so fast you barely get any use out of them. It's a damn shame.
I was playing it co-op with a friend and he was adamant on not using any giftbag stuff because he felt like it was cheating.
I'm not even sure he read through the whole thing but I didn't want to argue, so I guess didn't either. I don't think I realized the item upgrade function was in there.
If I ever go back for a solo playthrough I'll be using it. Does it work on Unique items too?
