Patch 5 also improves inventory access, letting players manage the inventory of all companions from one single UI, regardless of whether or not they’re currently in your party.
YES. I was just looking for a mod to do this but it's so much better when the devs build out a highly-requested feature like this.
While at camp, you can now access and manage the inventories of companions who aren't in your active party.
Sounds like it's not possible everywhere just at camp, also, the main thing I want is official autosorting containers, I use the mod but it can be janky at times, inventory management has put me off playing and I really want to I just got sick of organising loot and marking as items to sell and splitting stacks etc etc
You know I was trying to figure out why I lost interest in Chapter 3 and started playing Total War, and I think this is it (also a dialogue bug that made companions start spoiling the plot...)
I've never been a huge fan of inventory management and after a while it gets very tedious in BG3.
Jokes on me though, I'm playing Thorek in Warhammer 2 rn and he's a crafting lord so I turned a semi-RTS into an inventory management game anyways.
Congratulations you played yourself.
And Total War
Just in case you’re not aware, you can hop into camp at literally any time, you only consume supplies when taking a rest.
That’s the thing I’m most excited for, honestly.
The inventory management in the game is shockingly bad.
"Oh, I got a new companion. I wonder what I can equip them with."
Good luck, because the gear is scattered among your inactive companions, or the chests that might be locked to you in co-op.
"I need to take a potion mid combat"
It's somewhere in those 20 inventory wheels!
The whole inventory weight is kind of pointless as well, since you can send to camp at any point, and there's very few places where you can't just go back and get something. It's just inconvenience kept for the sake of following some arbitrary rules.
Gear especially should just be kept in a separate place from consumables and quest items, with maybe some quick swap wardrobe feature for e.g. switching to a bludgeoning weapon for smashing walls.
Good luck, because the gear is scattered among your inactive companions, or the chests that might be locked to you in co-op.
This has explicitly been changed this patch.

It's on one hand a BG throwback and more.importantly a minor impediment to the time-tested tactic in Larian games of "barrelmancy." Look up some Telekinesis runs on Divinity:Original Sin to see why.
Rockstar: game pricing should be based on length of play
Larian: ...
Larian: hold my Blingdenstone Blush
I mean. With 530 hours of play time, I've gotten to the point of like $0.11/ hour of entertainment and I'd gladly pay them for more lol
I'm glad I made sure to do a hard save before each important story moment, I have one right before the last boss dies so I should be able to jump right into the epilogue!
Im still trying to download the last update 😭
I played a bit this morning. Accidentally broke my paladin's oath while trying to get more info from a bad guy I was planning to kill.
Killed them instantly after the conversation, but that conversation broke the oath. Shouldn't have bothered either. Didn't get anything new.
And now I won't be able to savescum/press on until tomorrow at the earliest due to download speeds. I'm also on linux, so I might have to wait even longer if this patch breaks things again.
And I had a few mods...
So maybe this time next week?
Am on Fedora and have no issues playing on this new patch if that helps.
It does.
Granted, the fix for the last patch was pretty simple. Just delete a single file and it works.
Steam might redownload that file, but who knows...
The joy of trying to run a windows only game on linux.
Hmm so you had to delete a file from the last patch to get it to run on Linux? I definitely didn't have to do anything like that, running proton experimental through Steam. Curious, but what distro are you on?
I'm on an Arch based distro called Garuda.
This is where I found the fix.

Got to love that site. Always good to know that I'm not alone in my random errors.
If I’m honest, I’ve not been able to play it... at all.
Mostly because the updates are multi gig downloads and I never leave my computer in an idle long enough to actually download them lol
But that sounds rough, I hope you’re able to salvage your Paladin’s reputation soon!
To download the game in the first place, I had to leave my laptop running overnight. Twice.
It was rough.
As to my paladin... I'm torn. I hard saved as soon as I figured out that I had broken my oath, but I have a soft save just before it happened.
I might just press on.
I'm also playing this run as a "no illithiad powers" run. No mind control, no eating tadpoles. I'll see how long that lasts.
Oof.
I hope it works out!
It should be fun a challenge, but maybe not as fun as my naked golden dragonborn monk.
At some point in the run, I just stopped and said, "fuck, I need to play this guy in tabletop game"
He has the shiniest golden scales beneath rippling muscle. He sees the physical form as perfection itself, perfection that is too godly for such window dressing as clothing. But for modesty's sake, he might be convinced to wear a schlong thong. If you ask nicely.
In the lower city there is a clothing store. They sell an outfit called Angelic Scion. It’s basically a loin cloth and some gold arm bangles. Sounds like the perfect clothes for your golden god of fists.
Here is a screenshot of it on Astarion and Shadowheart
Hahhahaha I love it
There are so many other games to play that I'm still probably on the plan to postpone my second playthrough until the Definitive Edition comes out (probably next summer), but this is a much needed patch.
The way Larian describes the new epilogue, I'm thinking this is them re-adding some of the "17 000 endings" they were talking about pre launch. In any case, more and better epilogues were sorely needed so this is great.
Hopefully they can keep salvaging cut content and polish up Act 3 until it reaches the same quality of the other two.
Did they ever release the updated FSR patch they were aiming to release a while ago? I love content updates like this, but FSR is the main thing I'm hoping to see next.
Pretty sure fsr 2.1 is in the game now as of the last big update.
damn that's just wild!
No save summing on dice rolls anymore though 😢
Isn't that just in the new difficulty?
Correct, just Honor Mode
It's not having honor if you don't do it yourself...
That is aweeeesome!!! Save me from myself!!
