" ... I lost a bunch of good stuff early in the game listening to these fools..."
I don't consider my self a fool, good thing is neither do I feel the need to insult several people in an public forum with one general statement, just for the sake of venting my heartache about some lost loot .... guess some people should try to get a tiny bit less emotional about games... or try to acquire some basic social skills : /.
To the matter at hand:
I got 124h playtime, and 4 piles of stuff of stuff lying around from around hour 20 on. Didn't lose a single peace yet. I reload a lot, I sometimes go back an hour or two to do things different or in an other order, I installed every patch and every DLC. And still, my stuff keeps lying around where I put it down. Guess that makes me a fool now, just don't feel like it...
In my thinking that makes, lets say ~100h witchering for me, without losing anything, AND not(!) having to worry about weight. (Still don't feel like a fool)
BUT still, in the back of my head I stay prepared for the case, that one of my piles goes missing (I would be a fool to disregard all the advice and warnings about that).
And if that case would occur, I would EASILY notice that one of the BIG RED
X' es (loot piles) on my minimap would have disappeared on the next "sell run" for the latest (I got to go on "sell runs about ~once an hour or so).
And if one of the four
X'es on my minimap is gone, I just had to reload a safe game from 1min - 59min ago, where I still have all my 4 X 'es on my minimap.
Don't get me wrong, I don't say its a great or even a good solution(!), I also would prefer a chest some place (KM maybe) or the option to store stuff in Vivaldi's bank - but at least it has been a solid work around(!) for me so far. (And I still I don't feel foolish).
To maybe(!) have to play an hour of the game twice, seems a small price to pay on my "witchering-billl", for not(!) having to worry about weight problems, and STILL have all sets crafted and all stuff collected I might want/need to use at a point.
So if that makes me a fool - so be it... Not going to argue with impolite people, it never ends well
