Inventory management and trading
« on: February 18, 2012, 02:50:06 pm »

What are you all using to manage the horribly fiddly inventory? I'd pay for a 'I' feature that lets you 'empty' a container into another, so I can empty these pouches full of coins into my -<-Sheep Wool Bag->- (which I chose for a coinpurse because it's easy to spot in the inventory)

I decided to use my wolf leather bag to hold stuff I want to sell, but when it comes time to trade nobody wants my bags, and I can't tell what items are in bags and which are being worn! Do worn items appear for trading? Is there an easy way to contain a bunch of items and sell them all at once? And do shopkeepers only take items they are interested in?

Loot different types of bags.  Put money and gems in one bag.  Put gear in another and loot in a separate one.  All other gear goes in my pack.

When I want to sell only my loot, I just dump the other bags outside the store and bring my money and loot bag in.

The only problem I have is I tend to hoard ammo, and ammo weighs a ton...

How do you avoid selling your clothes? I have one dress and the dress appears in the trade window. I also have two socks on, but other socks I want to get rid of, but can't tell which socks to sell. Go in naked, money over one shoulder, loot over the other? :D

I try to only buy and wear upgraded and decorated stuff.  If I am just starting out, I take all my clothes off and drop them outside the store.
