If you're anything like me, and I'm almost certain that you are, you have at one time or another come across the problem of having way more scrolls, ammunition and potions than any sane person could ever want or need. All your scroll cases and other containers are already full, and you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown because you simply CAN NOT ditch any of the stuff. It might come in handy some day, yet deep down you know you'll never use those scrolls of magic missile or that potion of invulnerability. But you can't throw them out, you just can't.

Well my good obsessive-compulsive chum, salvation is here, in the form of my first crappy mod.

It adds a vendor in the Crooked Crane in the City Gates of Athkatla (duh). This vendor, who goes by the name of Craig, sells 5 scroll cases that will never ever get full, one for each color scroll and one for those scrolls you just might sell some day. He also has two bottomless gem bags and if you have TOB, an ammo belt and a potion case.

Of course, some people might think I'm a horrible cheater for creating this, while others may scoff at me because they've already modded their containers. Others still are intrigued by my ingenuity and want to be my willing servants who I will send to certain death against all those who would oppose me.

In any case, this mod adds containers. And that's all I have to say about that.


You can download this fantastic once-in-a-lifetime mod here.
And if that doesn't work, go here, scroll down, and download from there.


ps. I am fully aware that this is like the simplest mod in the universe. I made it in maybe 8 hours while learning how to make npcs, dialogs and so on. Feel free to flame me for my lameness, just make sure it consists of insults more elaborate than "lol u suk noob". Thank you, drive safely.

Actually...nice work. The Ease of Use mod makes a bottomless bag of holding, but nothing like the different color scroll cases. Nice job [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Nice work! Question though, can this be installed over top of weidu mods or does this count as a non-weidu/must be installed first mod? Thanks in advance

Why bother? It's cheating, and managing your inventory well is a much more satisfying solution. Keep only what you're going to use. Keep expired key items and books and letters and the like in a container somewhere. If you keep potions, make sure you use them. Sell all but the most useful scrolls.

Technically, ALL mods other than the official BioWare patch are cheats. But as for the other definition of the word "cheating," namely that it unfairly makes difficult fights easier to beat, how does being able to carry 57 sets of Splint Mail affect the difficulty of Firkraag? Or how would a stack of 217 Potions of Extra Healing make the Illithid Tunnels any easier?

As Alson, a former IronWorker, once said, <font color=gold>"And if this game were called 'Baldur's Gate 2: The Quest for Item-Shuffling,' I'd buy that."</font> I don't want to have to stop what I'm doing and look for a storage spot because I've run out of room for storing my Kou-Toa Bolts.

However, with all that said, a certain amount of moderation would not be amiss--it seems kind of ludicrous to be wandering around, carrying every single movable object in Amn in a little blue bag on your back. My solution makes <u>much</u> more sense: I put every single movable object in Amn on top of a few tables back in my stronghold.

Besides, my game lags if I try to carry the world in my Bag of Holding, so I clean it out (ammo especially) periodically.

Funny you should say that. Once, a long long time ago, I managed to fit the universe into my school satchel by turning it inside out. It's just a matter of perspective.

wry smile . . .

the mod sounds good to me and a reasonable alternative to the obligatory 3 day return journey to a certain area - pretending that you're hard as nails merely to buy a certain carrying case from a shop with a very good view before scarpering

It's a WeiDU mod, so there shouldn't be any problems.

If there is just post here so I can find a way to fix them.


Actually, I hated managing my inventory. Messing around with all those stacks of 5 potions drove me nuts, I spent more time looking at the inventory than I did fighting the meanies. That's why I like the ease-of-use mod as it allowed me to actually play the game.
I tried to do something similar here, and while it might be 'cheating' it is also 'convenient'.

As for key items and other junk I just dump it in a barrel in the slums. It's the scrolls and other stuff that "might be useful one day" that's causing me grief.


okay i'll stop typing now

Is Alson indeed a former IW member, Six? IIRC I have seen him online once or twice not too long ago..

Alson still posts, just in different forums.
