How many of you suffer from.....

How many of you suffer from NOT using your wands/scrolls/potions/items because you keep thinking "they're too valuable to waste"?

At the end of my game i had literall libries of lv.7-8-9 scrolls, thousands of potions and so many wands it took up nearly all of my inventory!

Is it just me who suffers this?

I dump most potions, the scrolls I get the mages to write and am wands I admit I can be a little cautious, that and I dont really need them.

I always seem to accumulate scrolls that my mages have already learned (and bought for hard earned cash

) so i dont want to dump em.....who know when they might turn a battle for me! Except they never do!

And thus begins my dilemma all over again

I used to do this. I realized, 'If I don't use em, why carry em?' So whenever I make it to the next shop, I sell everything that I know I won't use. Wands are a great boost in GP, especially for beginning parties.

I'm guilty too. Carrying all these potions, wands and scrolls around, facing problem of insufficien inventory space, I still thought "Next time. I'll use all the staff in the next battlle". But that "next battle" never comes...
Almost in the very end of every playthrough I began to understand that it is time to SELL those wands and potions...

Yup, me too, lol. about half of my available inventory is spent on wands, scrolls and potions. The other half is carrying stones, bolts and arorws of various types.

I'm guilty of that too. That is one of the reasons why I was happy that they introduced scroll cases into the game. I also used to horde extra weapons and armors. The tables and other compartments in the Copper Coronet were busting at the seams with all the items that I stored there. Bernard and Hendak could have become very rich just by charging me for the use of their storage space.

yea i suffer from hoarding items as well. not so much with the potions and scrolls but wands and useful spells (spell turning, pierce magic, chain lightning, etc). and they've just sat in my inventory since i've found them. with the exception of those one charge wands that you find in the dungeon in Ch 1. hehe..i used almost all of them on the dragons.

I usually horde the unused items in my stronghold/or place that im going to visit lots. I horde my stuff in the cowled wizards house that Edwin makes you kill in Renald bloodscaps quest, in the docks district on the 3rd floor.

I do!
I hardly ever use scrolls because they always cast at a very low level and thus are'nt worth using. Likewise for Wands. Have never used the Wand of Cloudkill trick before..
Edwin still had a flame arrow scroll in his quick slot at the end of the game, and I picked it up after exiting Irenicus' lair. I just never used it..
