Let's Play Baldur's Gate 2 032 Adventurer's Mart

Adventurer's Mart [Session 11, Part 1 of 5]. Before setting out to trade, Lilly speaks with Débutante Alicia, Lady Lasalla, and Count Claylan at the Mithrest Inn. We stop at the Adventurer's looking for a gem bag, bag of holding, or other equipment that may help us in managing our inventory. We see Brelm, and speak with Gereth and the owner of the store himself, Ribald Barterman! We hear an old story about Terce the mage. We also learn that we can acquire a Cowled Wizard license from the wizard Corneil in the Government District, and that if we want to contact the Shadow Thieves we should speak with Bloodscalp at the Docks.

The misadventures of Lilly Black, a lawful evil elven mage in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn with Throne of Bhaal expansion.

Using version 2.5.26461 with ToB patch 26498 (bioware.com), BG2 Fixpack Version 9 Core Fixes and GTU Light only (gibberlings3.net), and Generalized Biffing update July 23, 2010 (shsforums.net).

Coin Talks! Bracers of AC3 top item for a mage and I'm sure that magic licence isn't cheap you better start to sell your services or even your soul!

@NS13Guardian Cool, Guardian. I like that it had a lock, too! ;)

[mynameisnotlilly]

@NS13Guardian Yeah, the whole size factor was too complicated, and failed to reflect reality, as you mentioned with the suit versus book case. I think if they want to restrict the number of items that can be carried based on size, they should do it with simple size classifications: fine, diminutive, tiny, small, medium, ..., colossal; and one person can only carry so many from any one category. Really big ones might require two or more in your party to carry (using shared inventory like DA:O).

@mynameisnotlilly Case Description Continued ->

There is even an adjustable barrier, so that one can sort what documents they want to store where within case, to avoid a convoluted mess of parchment.

Additionally, this case also has sleeved pockets upon the inner lid, to maximize the amount of documents that can be safely stored within.

--

Of course that is all frivolous. It's just a case, some I've made with various weight reductions, and some not.

@mynameisnotlilly

If you're interested.

Document Case Description:

This stylish metallic case, which includes a small lock for added security, has been designed with the intent of safely storing documents. It is water-resistant, and flame-retardant, so you don't have to worry about your important documents in a flood or fire.

@mynameisnotlilly Having everything categorized does make finding collected items easier. Unfortunately, since items take a "X number of blocks in Neverwinter Nights I, they are less useful than in II.

As stated before, I do like that items have different sizes, but it is far from realistic. A book is almost as big (if not exactly the same) as a suit of armour, which takes away from why I like such a system. Such is the way of things, I suppose.

[mynameisnotlilly]

@NS13Guardian Neat, Guardian--every game should have a document case! ;)

[NS13Guardian]

@mynameisnotlilly Items I made myself within the tool-set. There are indeed numerous magical bags - and bags of holding - among other containers within the game itself. I designed items with specific names and icons for certain items. (Scroll cases, potion satchels, gem bags, document cases, medical kits - and so forth.) In truth, I could place a suit of armour in a document case if I wanted to, but didn't as it would defeat its purpose.

[mynameisnotlilly]

@NS13Guardian Custom containers? I remember magic bags and boxes--what kinds of containers are you talking about? For specific item types? Or with a larger capacity?

[NS13Guardian]

Gem bags, scroll (and hopefully potion) cases may be rather mundane items in the grand scale of things, but they certainly are a welcomed sight and addition to the game. I always try to keep my inventories (in any game) as neat as I can, and even created custom containers in Neverwinter Nights I and II for such purposes. I'm glad to see them implemented here in Baldur's Gate II.
