Pro tip: use those empty pouches/ backpacks for item organization (lemmy.world)

After ~450 hours in the game, I realized something that I'd been wanting was in the game the whole time, just not explicitly: a way to put your items into "folders".

I often wondered what the purpose was of placing empty backpacks and pouches throughout the game and making them show up in the alt-view. I figured they had items in them at different difficulties or previous versions, or they were simply there for aesthetics (I think most likely option). It only just occurred to me that I could pick them up and store items in them to sort out my stupid long inventory lists.

Gale has a backpack with all his little scrolls. Lae'zel has a backpack that somehow holds 20 daggers, 12 javelins and a spear. And astarion has a pouch with with enough magical arrows to make the Fat Man look like a firecracker. Now the stuff I actually plan on using is much easier to find.

So it wound be an option to mark the items as wares, and then move them to a backpack?
Then I could keep the backpack in case I am short of containers.

I still think my method is the more elegant way :)

Because I don't want to worry about finding a new backpack every time I just have everyone have 2 backpacks for selling items, then just before I sell I go to everyone's backpacks and just mark everything as wares. Although, honestly I started doing it because I wasn't positive that it was giving me the price for the items in the pack and not just the pack itself early on. It's routine now.
