That’s actually how I rp it. I collected literally everything of value and was super stingy when buying stuff because I wanted to have a retirement fund for my peaceful cottagecore life with Shadowbae ❤️
Every one. All gamers have a draconic bloodline because there is a natural tendency to hoard and have a beautiful stockpile of treasures never to be used. High power scroll? In the hoard. Super power potion? In the hoard
We won't mention my hoard of arrows...i am convinced that at least one former adventurer took an arrow to the knee because they were poking around my stash and it exploded and sent arrows everywhere.... ;)
>Super power potion? In the hoard
This. End of BG1. Durlag's tower, used only some healing potions and only because I run out of the inventory space and load weight. Aec'Letec? Few mirrored eyes, that's all. Final fight saw maybe biggest use of potions (Str potions, invul etc.). And then it was end of the game and I have full inventory of wands and potions and nothing to do with them ... until SoD.
Pathfinder games? The same.
Morrowind? That game us hoarder/crafter/alchemist paradise and nightmare combined in one neat package.
Arcanum of Steamwork and Camera Obscura? Don't even ask. No, really.
Fallout 1, 2, New Vegas? Full containers of everything ... weapons, ammo, armors, clothes, food&drinks&meds and *ANY FRAGGING JUNK I EVER CAME ACROSS* because "it will be surely useful somehow".
And 7 Days to Die ... 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Either draconic bloodline or I'm turning into old, junk collecting guy whenever I start RPG.
There are just so many scrolls that I might as well sell that I never do. Detect Thoughts is a great spell, but do I really need 12 scrolls of it when my caster has it memorized already? But I just can't bring myself to sell any of them. WHY?
The first play through I really ended up with a mountain of consumables, felt like a hoarder. I did use some of them, but because I flip everything I ended up with tons of stuff.
If the spell is on the wizard spell list, they can learn off of scrolls, yeah.
Meanwhile for Clerics, Druids, & Paladins, they just know all their spells and can prepare different ones out of combat as the situation requires.
So like if you have Shadowheart in your party, and get a spell scroll of cure wounds, you may as well use it- it won't stop you from casting the spell later, it just gives you an extra cast (or give it to someone else, so if Shadowheart goes down, they can use the scroll in her place, or even to pick her up).
only wizards can learn scrolls, there's a button in their spellbook to learn scrolls, if I remember correctly there's a button on the drop down menu on each scroll that says "learn spell" as well. there is a fee of gold every time you learn a scrolls spell but depending on your school of magic there's discounts, like if you're an evocation wizard you spend less on learning an evocation spell
Thematically, I like using it in the >!House of Grief!< fight (for her sake, have a means to cast globe of invulnerability on hand). It's a nice divine fuck you to her past, and from where she stands when the fight starts almost all of the enemies >!(Viconia included)!< are in its AoE radius.
The funny thing about hording it is after act 2 its not super useful in most tough fights because everyone is more powerful and it attacks pretty much at random. However I let my rogue sneak up to Ketheric fight part 2 and release it. Led to some funny antics, at least thinned out the minions so I could focus on General Thorm himself.
I save all my explosives for when I meet that guy with a Greatsword and his angels (and maybe a dragonborn [fuck that guy in particular]) on tactician.
This is just me with every game honestly. It's the reason in this game I pick things that get stuff back on short rest because if I don't, I'll be hoarding my spellslots and whatever else there may be 'just in case' despite knowing this game like the back of my hand. Suddenly the team is like "Lets long rest" and I'm still here with all my stuff.
I stock up on arrows of darkness every time a vendor has them in stock even though there are about 3 or 4 places in the entire game I ever actually use them. Scrolls & potions I've actually trained myself to sell off regularly though.
This paid off big time on my first Tactician run. Dumped all my potions over the course of the game in a pouch that Shadowheart held onto. Spammed all my spell slots getting to the brain stem and then found out the restoration thing wasn't there on Tactician. Opened the chest next to it, found a Potion of Angelic Slumber, had a brainwave, and found five more in the pouch. Everyone had a quick nap and it was game on.
oooh the restoration pods not being there in tactician really threw me off... I had to do without spell slots, and just the scrolls I had hoarded... I had a lot of chain lighting and I used them on Empy and the brain, but it was unexpected
Baldur's Gate 3. I had a couple dozen dragon slayer arrows saved up through the course of the game, only ever encountered one dragon, and killed it before Astarion got his first turn.
I feel like at least in bg3 it is absolutely worth it, you can get a massive power spike but at least for me it's just expecting the resources to be far less scarce than they actually are resulting to never using any of them in case I need them for later.
All the elixirs and weapon coats, I never bought one, just picked them up, and I meant to use them atop the brain... I didn't use a single one in any of my playthroughs...
Still not as bad as what I did with Tears of the Kingdom, where I faced Ganondorf with a full inventory and I think I used 2 shields, a couple swords, a couple potions, and barely any of the lynel horns I had hoarded
If you don’t go against the last boss of a Final Fantasy game with 99 potions, 99 hi-potions, 99 elixirs, 99 mega-elixirs, and not use any of them because you’re too over-leveled, then you’re not playing right.
GOD THE DAMN SPECTATOR BOTTLE, literally 5 playthrough in and i still forgot to use it, first i was like, i will save this for the Orin cultists battle and then forgot about it, no problem i will use it in the house of hope, still forgot, damnit so house of grief its then, completely forgotten, no need to worry, there is still that final battle with the dragon and the guardian before the brain, well at this point you know what happened next, till this day that bottle never witnessed any battlefield.
I'm using them often in act 3, needed the Invlun scrolls for Raphael since I needed Gale's Level 6 slot for the guaranteed two turns Otto's takes from him
First playthrough I kept every piece of rope and carafe of water I could find. EVERYONE. Keep expecting to see "you are thirsty" or have a need for the damn rope that is everywhere.
Every... single... game?
I know a lot of people have the same anxiety about an even more important fight always being just around the corner, even if you're struggling with you current one. I sometime wonder if loot mechanics in games could somehow cater to us freaks, though I appreciate I can't think of any simple solution that wouldn't break the game for a lot of people.
I actually use a good amount of consumables, but oftentimes just using your normal abilities is just more conveniënt. I *could* spend my bonus action applying an oil or poison, or I could use that to jump a massive distance or get a hand crossbow shot. Scrounging through my backpack to find just the right spell that might not even be on the right character is a hassle I just dont really want to bother with when your characters are already so powerful.
Shoutouts to potions of speed, arrow of many targets and basically any elixer though. Those are great.
Soul coins. I keep thinking I'll need them for something. I only ever use 3 in most of my playthroughs. The first is for the creche, the second is for fighting Gortash, and the third is for destroying the nether brain.
If I think i can reasonably get through without items i won't use items.
An amazing game is one where using all assets available to you mean the difference between success and defeat.
If I don't feel like I need to use the items then their existence is irrelevant
Literally every game, but especially BG3, I basically never used scrolls even in my HM runs, the only consumables I used were elixirs, and even those would only be used for maybe 3 fights in a playthrough.
Every game that has ever had inventory items I could collect "until I needed them"?
BG series, KOTOR series, DA series, Fallout series, Skyrim/Oblivion, hell, even ME with grenades and ammo types.
On tactician I did use many of them. Although I have tons to spare. Is fun using the objects to be honest, as of late I have a rule to use the objects even if it's not a critical situation, and I keep the legendary stuff for hards fights, like the one at the end of act 2 against you know who.
This happened to a guy on Alone when they were in Patagonia. He was medically tapped for malnutrition, meanwhile he had dozens of dried fish saved up. He was so intent on saving that he didn't eat.
I saved every Potion of Angelic Reprieve I ever got because I wanted to save them for a difficult moment.
But whenever I got to a difficult moment I'd just power through/outsmart the enemy anyway.
Nowadays I just use shit like that whenever it's mildly convenient, because otherwise I never will.
I had always planned to finally use all those elixirs of cloud giant strength and stuff before the last boss. Then I completely forgot and showed up with no short rests left, half my fighter dice gone, Wyll's out of spells so he can't even counterspell, no healing so everyone has to group up to get potions thrown at them...
It went fine. This game definitely gives you 10x what you actually need.
My favorite part is when you hoard all those spell scrolls and usable items to find out they dont do shit in the end game.
Unfortunately most games have a linear difficulty level and as you level up and learn new tricks in the game the game doesnt really seem any more difficult… until the end boss. Every game usually ramps up the difficulty for the last boss (or secret/optional) level and thats when you start to feel like your having fun again and then the game ends.
3 playthroughs and never used that damn Beholder lol
He Must look at me and say: "Heyy u again, ready to throw me in the bag and carry me until the end again? U piece of shit"
BG3 is the first game where I’ve consistently used consumables lol mostly bc I challenge myself to minimize long rests, since elixirs per act are limited and I enjoy their permanent buffs
Any of the fallout games. I always end up having used like 3 mini nukes playing and have 97 in my stash, plus a million rounds of ammo, 500 stimpacks, and power armor I’ve almost never worn so I could hoard the 100 fusion cores I found.
I've been grabbing up every gem and magical weapon I find in BG3 planning on selling them and now I'm almost done with act 3 and just have a chest full of crap that I can't be arsed to deal with.

I specifically try to over use my stash because i swear for every one acid arrrow i use i get three more, plus a health pot, a scroll of blur and fireball, and a disarm kit. It really feels like you have to straight up waste them to run out so why not just dump em on rando fights.
I do this in BG3, but also in real life d&d, haha.
My party has been playing through the Curse of Strahd campaign for the last few years (we can't meet up more than once a month). We finally beat Strahd (though his name in our game was Chad) last weekend, after three separate sessions of combat with him and his minions over the last couple months.
Resources were hard to come by the whole campaign, especially healing potions, which we used all but one of. And though we did pretty well the whole campaign, we knew the final fight was very likely to kill us all (it really almost did). So when we found something good, we tended to save it for that last fight against Chad to save Chadrovia.
However, I just realized I never used an Experimental Elixir of Boldness I had. I could have had my wild magic sorcerer drink it, or given it to our paladin, for a **whole ten rounds of combat with an extra 1d4 to all attack rolls and saves.**
Very glad we all managed to survive, or I'd be kicking myself a whole lot more right now.
“Earthworm Jim” when I was a kid. I completed it on every difficulty and had max extra lives and all the best ammo still saved. I felt so dumb, especially when I did the same mistake every time. I still play like that 🤔 Beat the main story of fallout with a pipe rifle, because I didn’t want to spend the good ammo. I think I might be worse in BG3. I have so many potions and scrolls I could open up a shop
I am nothing like that in real life though, I waste my health and money like crazy. I am surprisingly okay with that 🤔
All the scrolls I convinced myself I'd use once I ran out of casts. I just never ran into a fight that tested my endurance enough to resort to the scrolls.
I was told to be prepared and Rolan is my bro. Dammon had the good stuff, Karlach's dwarf friend kept me supplied, and these portions were in case Shadowheart couldn't get to one of us
This is why I play honour mode. Sometimes you get forced into a bad situation due to the dice, and you need to improvise. This forces you to be creative and use the scrolls and consumables you have saved up to save the run.
*No, not my retirement scrolls*
Oh, you mean the elder scrolls??
r/angryupvote
That’s actually how I rp it. I collected literally everything of value and was super stingy when buying stuff because I wanted to have a retirement fund for my peaceful cottagecore life with Shadowbae ❤️
You cracked me up ahahah
Every one. All gamers have a draconic bloodline because there is a natural tendency to hoard and have a beautiful stockpile of treasures never to be used. High power scroll? In the hoard. Super power potion? In the hoard
I had more potions in my nightstand in Skyrim then all potions shops in the game combined
We won't mention my hoard of arrows...i am convinced that at least one former adventurer took an arrow to the knee because they were poking around my stash and it exploded and sent arrows everywhere.... ;)
The amount of soul gems in that table drawer on the last playthrough I did was sheer madness. I could scroll for 5 minutes straight.
>Super power potion? In the hoard This. End of BG1. Durlag's tower, used only some healing potions and only because I run out of the inventory space and load weight. Aec'Letec?

a very fat and lazy dragon!
I don't like relying on things that get used up, it adds an extra thing to worry about. I keep items in case they are useful for a quest or something
I have SOOOOOOOO many spells. just learned that I can teach them to some of my casters...ffs
The next fight I’m going to only use scrolls just to clean out my stash, I promise.
There are just so many scrolls that I might as well sell that I never do. Detect Thoughts is a great spell, but do I really need 12 scrolls of it when my caster has it memorized already? But I just can't bring myself to sell any of them. WHY?
Yeah and can’t rip scrolls
You cantrip scrolls ?
Better hold on to them for the fight after the next fight, just to be sure.
The first play through I really ended up with a mountain of consumables, felt like a hoarder. I did use some of them, but because I flip everything I ended up with tons of stuff.

Does using a scroll use a spell slot?
No. Hence why I say "extra cast"
how can you teach them to casters?
only wizards can learn scrolls, there's a button in their spellbook to learn scrolls, if I remember correctly there's a button on the drop down menu on each scroll that says "learn spell" as well. there is a fee of gold every time you learn a scrolls spell but depending on your school of magic there's discounts, like if you're an evocation wizard you spend less on learning an evocation spell
dope. thanks!
Literally every game with an inventory.
Truer words were never spoken
Any scrolls that aren't summons in bg3. Summons are so busted in this. Practically always up.
Not me getting to the reunion party and realizing I never used SH's divine intervention
Same, never really saw the opportunity
Thematically, I like using it in the >!House of Grief!< fight (for her sake, have a means to cast globe of invulnerability on hand). It's a nice divine fuck you to her past, and from where she stands when the fight starts almost all of the enemies >!(Viconia included)!< are in its AoE radius.
Even more money or consumables or another +3 mace. Woo.
Same. I had planned to take her in the final battle, but ended up bringing Halsin instead. Didn't remember until it was done
Clerics get "divine intervention" at a certain level, which is basically a single-use ninth-level spell. I didn't use it *once*.
Same, kept waiting for the right moment, then I realize I am in the reuniting party.
I'll always be sad that I finished my first playthrough BEFORE the end party was added 😭
That's painful. It was such a great part of the journey, almost had me on tears being able to chat to everyone once more after the journey.
What do you mean, these are my retirement potions and scrolls
Wait, was I supposed to do something with this iron flask?
I think it summons a hostile creature, so use it with caution
The funny thing about hording it is after act 2 its not super useful in most tough fights because everyone is more powerful and it attacks pretty much at random. However I let my rogue sneak up to Ketheric fight part 2 and release it. Led to some funny antics, at least thinned out the minions so I could focus on General Thorm himself.
I save all my explosives for when I meet that guy with a Greatsword and his angels (and maybe a dragonborn [fuck that guy in particular]) on tactician.
Soul coins. Every single time.
I was afraid to make karlak worse by using those so I never did, then forgot about it.
Good gold/weight ratio. Sell them.
This is just me with every game honestly. It's the reason in this game I pick things that get stuff back on short rest because if I don't, I'll be hoarding my spellslots and whatever else there may be 'just in case' despite knowing this game like the back of my hand. Suddenly the team is like "Lets long rest" and I'm still here with all my stuff.
Scrolls scrolls scrolls
Scrolls, potions, elixirs, gear and about half of the arrows I pick up.
I stock up on arrows of darkness every time a vendor has them in stock even though there are about 3 or 4 places in the entire game I ever actually use them. Scrolls & potions I've actually trained myself to sell off regularly though.
This is me with dragon slaying arrows. Only a couple of places in the game they are relevant and yet I keep buying them.
Fucking all of them
Bg3 finish the game with a million potions 🤣
literally this game, tho, I have so many unused potions and poisons and even some weapons "I'll find the right time to use it" is an illness XD
Even in fckn HM.. end of act 1 now and got like 40 scrolls..
But I only have 8 potions of speed left. I can do this fight without them!
Any and every.
Still more or less on my first run and really don’t know how or when to properly use the stuff I’m hoarding so…😅
I actually used alot of my consumables this game! Elden ring however....
I did this my first run. Once I got to upper city I started using everything.
This paid off big time on my first Tactician run. Dumped all my potions over the course of the game in a pouch that Shadowheart held onto. Spammed all my spell slots getting to the brain stem and then found out the restoration thing wasn't there on Tactician. Opened the chest next to it, found a Potion of Angelic Slumber, had a brainwave, and found five more in the pouch. Everyone had a quick nap and it was game on.
oooh the restoration pods not being there in tactician really threw me off... I had to do without spell slots, and just the scrolls I had hoarded... I had a lot of chain lighting and I used them on Empy and the brain, but it was unexpected
Most jrpgs, but definitely the final fantasy games. I end those with so much health potions and phoenix downs
All the scrolls and purple and some gold equipment 😁
Every mmo
Baldur's Gate 3. I had a couple dozen dragon slayer arrows saved up through the course of the game, only ever encountered one dragon, and killed it before Astarion got his first turn.
I always forget I have scrolls unless I need a specific spell
FF7 Remake. Then the new game+ came and denied any use of items...
Why do so many games make item crafting a feature but also make it feel like it’s not worth learning?
I feel like at least in bg3 it is absolutely worth it, you can get a massive power spike but at least for me it's just expecting the resources to be far less scarce than they actually are resulting to never using any of them in case I need them for later.
Well I’m gonna have to learn it tonight, IM about to start act 3 on my second play through so I might as well lol
All
All of them…
All of them
I don’t understand the question.
Then obviously I didn't need them
Every single game I've ever played...
All the elixirs and weapon coats, I never bought one, just picked them up, and I meant to use them atop the brain... I didn't use a single one in any of my playthroughs... Still not as bad as what I did with Tears of the Kingdom, where I faced Ganondorf with a full inventory and I think I used 2 shields, a couple swords, a couple potions, and barely any of the lynel horns I had hoarded
The Witcher, Wild Hunt.
Drakenguard 1 order of flame
Well, I did use 3 scrolls and 2 potions for the upper city. Only wasted 99% of the resources I had access to.
scrolls and bombs
Well if the two handed large stick never stops being useful this is always going to be the case
A lack of caption can somehow be more than a 1000 words
Guess I'll just invite the Ironclad Flask Beholder to the Epilogue party.
If you don’t go against the last boss of a Final Fantasy game with 99 potions, 99 hi-potions, 99 elixirs, 99 mega-elixirs, and not use any of them because you’re too over-leveled, then you’re not playing right.
GOD THE DAMN SPECTATOR BOTTLE, literally 5 playthrough in and i still forgot to use it, first i was like, i will save this for the Orin cultists battle and then forgot about it, no problem i will use it in the house of hope, still forgot, damnit so house of grief its then, completely forgotten, no need to worry, there is still that final battle with the dragon and the guardian before the brain, well at this point you know what happened next, till this day that bottle never witnessed any battlefield.
Every game. Haven't used an elixir yet. What if Orin is OP.
I'm using them often in act 3, needed the Invlun scrolls for Raphael since I needed Gale's Level 6 slot for the guaranteed two turns Otto's takes from him
All of them.
Every game ever. This run I brought a wizard so I can craft twice as many flasks & potions to hoard around unused.
Literally me giving astarion a shitload of nades and using them a little until game end :)
Every game with consumables, really. The first one I remember doing this with was Hexen II.
Scrolls, potions, and throwables/arrows. I have soooo many
I've ended the game with 50k gold and I've barely used any potion, or scroll, or poison...
Seek help
Extremely rude of Cap to call me out like that in public. 🤣
They're tools, not jewels. Use them, don't hoard them.
First playthrough I kept every piece of rope and carafe of water I could find. EVERYONE. Keep expecting to see "you are thirsty" or have a need for the damn rope that is everywhere.
At least let me display them in a virtual museum I can visit once the game is done, so I can gaze at my vast trove and contemplate my silliness
Wait, are you guys using all the poisons? What if I need basic poison one day?
Every... single... game? I know a lot of people have the same anxiety about an even more important fight always being just around the corner, even if you're struggling with you current one. I sometime wonder if loot mechanics in games could somehow cater to us freaks, though I appreciate I can't think of any simple solution that wouldn't break the game for a lot of people.

Yes
(the potion effect)
ALL of them….
Every game that has ever had inventory items I could collect "until I needed them"? BG series, KOTOR series, DA series, Fallout series, Skyrim/Oblivion, hell, even ME with grenades and ammo types.
Runepowder barrel
Why do you imply there’s only one?
Basically every game besides FF7R. You do not want to see how many potions and scrolls are in my inventory.
All of them. Every. Last. One.
This is my investment portfolio, do you realize how expensive they are? Certainly they will be safe in Baldur’s Gate bank
I specifically saved the runepowder bomb so I could nuke the elder brain… then I forgot I had it… FUCK.
I dropped this habit. A lot of boss fights I remember being difficult as a kid suddenly became much easier when I just used my elixirs.
On tactician I did use many of them. Although I have tons to spare. Is fun using the objects to be honest, as of late I have a rule to use the objects even if it's not a critical situation, and I keep the legendary stuff for hards fights, like the one at the end of act 2 against you know who.

Rage by Bethesda. I'm still trying to get a copy of rage 2.
Every RPG game I've played since the 80's
I’ve completed a single BG3 run, I got the iron flask very early on. Never used it
Skyrim, Hogwarts, FF15,
I saved every Potion of Angelic Reprieve I ever got because I wanted to save them for a difficult moment. But whenever I got to a difficult moment I'd just power through/outsmart the enemy anyway. Nowadays I just use shit like that whenever it's mildly convenient, because otherwise I never will.
Well that just means the game was too easy and I didnt need to use those items
By act 3, I feel the same way about a lot of equipment. I’ll find some awesome piece of loot but prefer what I’ve already got equipped for everyone.
What game? Every game.
I had always planned to finally use all those elixirs of cloud giant strength and stuff before the last boss. Then I completely forgot and showed up with no short rests left, half my fighter dice gone, Wyll's out of spells so he can't even counterspell, no healing so everyone has to group up to get potions thrown at them... It went fine. This game definitely gives you 10x what you actually need.
This playthrough ive used every high level scroll I could. Honor mode is fucking ouchies and it's needed
Most of my elden ring runs where I never use a rune arc.
My favorite part is when you hoard all those spell scrolls and usable items to find out they dont do shit in the end game. Unfortunately most games have a linear difficulty level and as you level up and learn new tricks in the game the game doesnt really seem any more difficult… until the end boss. Every game usually ramps up the difficulty for the last boss (or secret/optional) level and thats when you start to feel like your having fun again and then the game ends.
3 playthroughs and never used that damn Beholder lol He Must look at me and say: "Heyy u again, ready to throw me in the bag and carry me until the end again? U piece of shit"
Baldurs gate 3. When i sold my shit in act3 i had way too much money
BG3 is the first game where I’ve consistently used consumables lol mostly bc I challenge myself to minimize long rests, since elixirs per act are limited and I enjoy their permanent buffs
Nearly never used all the scrolls I found
I had 800+ extra camping supplies
Devil May Cry 2, or 3... the one where all the holy water at end game drops the final boss to 1/5 his last life bar.
Any of the fallout games. I always end up having used like 3 mini nukes playing and have 97 in my stash, plus a million rounds of ammo, 500 stimpacks, and power armor I’ve almost never worn so I could hoard the 100 fusion cores I found.
Skyrim potions and scrolls that I never used
Why don’t you just @ me next time 😂
I've been grabbing up every gem and magical weapon I find in BG3 planning on selling them and now I'm almost done with act 3 and just have a chest full of crap that I can't be arsed to deal with.
Fighting with inventory but never using half of what I made space for 😢😢😂 oops. Spells and potions
I pretty much have no idea of 90% of what was in my inventory when the credits rolled
Just about every game I have ever played.
I’m not a hoarder, I’m just RP ing as a reclaimer and stashing away all the magic to prevent it from being used for destruction…
ALL OF THEM

Me, still holding a void bulb from act 1 in the final fight: but what if there is a secret boss
Elixirs in every Final Fantasy game
Baldurs Gate 3
Basically every RPG I've ever played
Every Minecraft run. I have 5 daisies, 2 seeds and a birch sapling in my “plants” chest that I have had since day one
All of them. Almost all of them.
I do this in BG3, but also in real life d&d, haha. My party has been playing through the Curse of Strahd campaign for the last few years (we can't meet up more than once a month). We finally beat Strahd (though his name in our game was Chad) last weekend, after three separate sessions of combat with him and his minions over the last couple months. Resources were hard to come by the whole campaign, especially healing potions, which we used all but one of. And though we did pretty well the whole campaign, we knew the final fight was very likely to kill us all (it really almost did). So when we found something good, we tended to save it for that last fight against Chad to save Chadrovia. However, I just realized I never used an Experimental Elixir of Boldness I had. I could have had my wild magic sorcerer drink it, or given it to our paladin, for a **whole ten rounds of combat with an extra 1d4 to all attack rolls and saves.** Very glad we all managed to survive, or I'd be kicking myself a whole lot more right now.
All of them
Listen here bob, I don’t appreciate you calling me out like that 😔
*loads up newgame+* You never were very imaginative, cap.
Every game with one use potions and elixirs.
Every game ever
Every game, I do this in every game I play. You never know when you won't need an item, but when you don't, it'll still be there waiting.
“Earthworm Jim” when I was a kid. I completed it on every difficulty and had max extra lives and all the best ammo still saved. I felt so dumb, especially when I did the same mistake every time. I still play like that 🤔 Beat the main story of fallout with a pipe rifle, because I didn’t want to spend the good ammo. I think I might be worse in BG3. I have so many potions and scrolls I could open up a shop I am nothing like that in real life though, I waste my health and money like crazy. I am surprisingly okay with that 🤔
I’ll do it again 😂
Me, so me in BG3 it hurts. Also this is me in Diablo 3 with whatever legendary items I have 🤣
Every single game I play.
Bloodborne
Consumables are for speed running.
All the scrolls I convinced myself I'd use once I ran out of casts. I just never ran into a fight that tested my endurance enough to resort to the scrolls.
This is every game I play 😂😂
I have so many random spell scrolls and potions and weapon coatings
Every one of them. I always forget to use consumables.
I was told to be prepared and Rolan is my bro. Dammon had the good stuff, Karlach's dwarf friend kept me supplied, and these portions were in case Shadowheart couldn't get to one of us
Any survival horror or RPG'S
I'm hoping they'll drop dlc...
Every single RPGs i've played.
Every game dammit. Every. Git. Darned. Game.
I hoarded all my shit until the final battle and then used them all in glorious reckless abandon.
Baldur's Gate III
Me not carrying the runepowder from act 1 til the end of the game and never using it.
Every game.
This is why I play honour mode. Sometimes you get forced into a bad situation due to the dice, and you need to improvise. This forces you to be creative and use the scrolls and consumables you have saved up to save the run.
Lies of P 100% (Sorry didn’t realize this was a BG3 specific thread. Still i said what I said!)
It's baldurs gate 3 obviously
Uh,every game?,I started being more lenient nowadays tho,after realising i had over 150+ grenades in fallout 4,but old habits die hard
Saved them, forgot them or were too lazy to read the description and actually care what they are good for. That's debatable.
Me not summoning the ogre guys 😭 wanted to save them, couldn't use them in the underdark, got to act 3 and just haven't touched them :(
