Glad me having a left hand injury is a source of amusement for you.

It is geared towards gamepad use, if that helps any

I don't ever remember you saying that's your reasons for being big on key mapping.

Of course, I could have missed it.

Been a long time since I've enjoyed a game this much. Think I have over 100 hours in it and I'm just now in chapter 7 and I still have almost half the map to still explore. Spent the past few hours farming abyss cores.

Holy item fatigue Batman!

This is going to be a difficult for a loot goblin. I picked up every single item in Baldur's Gate 3 to sell. You can't do that here. You smash one box and pick up the loot then walk 30 feet away and the box respawns.

This is going to be unsettling for me to leave potential loot everywhere. And there aren't any great inventory mods to give me the size I need. And you can't stack bugs. And if you get the weapon stacking mod you can't refine them.

Yeah, this is going to be hard on an old loot goblin like me.

2 hours in and I've barely moved from the starting point. lol. I can see how it was a bit difficult on the casual Andy to play this one. Not much hand holding. Loot everywhere. People everywhere.

Pretty sure I am going to enjoy this one a lot. It clearly rewards exploration which is fantastic but I might end up with 400 hours played and I haven't started the main quest yet.

The struggle is real. I still can't stop collecting worthless garbage.

I am shocked they released the game without storage. Even now with storage there are too many items for a loot goblin.

The controls aren't great but there are so many skills which require combinations, I can understand the clunkiness. It hasn't stopped my enjoyment at all.

40 hours in and I haven't done much. I am doing as many side quests as possible to get more inventory. I did get the Greymane camp up and running but no upgrades yet.

This is easily going to be a 200 hour game for me and probably more. At some point I need to actually learn to hit the right combos when fighting LARGE groups. I had to shut things down in the middle of a HUGE encampment fight for work. I need to respec now that I have had some time to learn a few mechanics.

Assuming you're playing on a PC, modding is your friend here.

Bumped up my inventory slots to 700 or so.

I was modding the stacks. I don't think it was actually working so I uninstalled it, verified integrity and reinstalled the mod. Now it appears to be working but I am almost 100% sure it somehow deleted a bunch of loot.

I bit the bullet and purchased this the other day. There's so much to the game and so much to explore. I think im 30 hours in and only one chapter 3. I think to me it's a fusion of Tears of the Kingdom and Skyrim, plus more. I can understand why people were initially turned off by the overload of systems, but damn I'm having fun.

The new Quality of life inventory is a MASSIVE win.

Craft or refine from the new storage boxes is awesome.

Drop the box in your house. Put all crafting resources in it and you can still refine or craft in town.

Going to take some work to get the cooking storage but now I can loot everything and use it. Once I am farming, I can cook from storage.

I love this game. I think I am 140 hours in and haven't done much of anything. lol.

Exploring finally starting to pay off. Just getting a few hidden items makes poking around everywhere more fun.

I’m struggling keeping refinement resources. I am constantly trying to upgrade gear.

The gathering chest and Kuku Cooler are game changers!

I found the cool two handed katana but I lost it around 12 hours back before I realized it had disappeared. Even though I have that lord’s blade I seem to be leaning towards two hand swords. Fricken frustration!

I really wish the Crimson Desert folks would learn to STOP posting updates at the start of the weekend. I use mods. I don't want to spend my god dang weekend waiting for fixes to the god dang mods. 3 weeks in a row.

Sure. Great. I love the amount of fixes. I don't love the constant mod breaking. And the last 2 patches were of course followed almost immediately by hotfixes to the patches thus breaking things again that I just fixed.
