Hello everyone!
If you are like me and played the other infinity engine games before actually playing BG1, you might notice to your disappointment that you can't highlight items like you did in the other games. I'm referring to the original game and not the Enhanced Edition.
The solution to this is...keep playing. If something is lying on the ground you can usually just eyeball it. Many things are in barrels, boxes, chests, and other containers, and after a while you'll get the hang of looking out for these things. If you know something is on the ground and you can't quit see it, move your mouse around in that area and wait for the cursor to change. On rare cases when this actually happened to me, it wouldn't take that long to find the item.
Is there something I missed? Something I got wrong? Something you'd like to add? Let me know by replying!
