Inventory management is one of the most essential aspects of your adventures in Baldur's Gate 3. While your companions can carry many items, you'll eventually run out of space. Moreover, every item has a certain weight, and each character can carry up to a limit. Once you surpass that number, an encumbered status will be put on that character, slowing them down.
Moreover, you can also sell many of the items to the vendors found all over Baldur's Gate 3. Doing so will not only allow you to get in-game gold, but you can also barter your wares to get better items. This could be consumables or better weapons that make your characters much more potent. Inventory management will be crucial whether you're a beginner or someone deep into your save. You'll need to know what to keep and sell to ensure that.

Selling your wares isn't the only important task for effective inventory management. You'll also need to take some basic steps to ensure that none of your members are encumbered.
- Don't hoard your items in the inventory of a single character.
- Spread all your items across all four members of your squad. This applies to consumables, weapons, and armor.
- Understand the difference between the types of every item - general and mission items are different, and you should preserve the latter.
Once you have done these steps, the part of deciding what to sell and keep comes next.
