Your inventory in Divinity: Original Sin

Your character’s inventory is on the bottom half of the character sheet. The character’s inventory shows you the current items that the character is carrying. Each item takes up one slot in the inventory and has a certain weight. Each character has a weight limit to what they can carry; exceeding this weight limit makes a character encumbered.

You can see more information about items by hovering over them with the mouse. Drag an item onto a portrait to give the item to that character. Drag an item onto the status bar to keep it within easy reach or to the ground to leave it behind. Drag a piece of equipment to the paper doll to equip it. Drag it into a container window to leave it in that container.

Items usually stay where you leave them, unless NPCs run off with them. By default, all items are visible in the inventory. You can filter by various kinds of items using the item category buttons, which include:

Equipment[edit]

These are items, such as weapons and armour, that you can equip onto a character. You can mouse-over equipment in your inventory to see how it compares with the item that you currently have equipped.

Consumables[edit]

These are items that can be used only once and which have a temporary effect on your character, such as a potion which may restore vitality, a potion that temporarily improves your fire resistance, or even food. Experiment with different foods to find out what they do.

Magical[edit]

These are items, such as scrolls, that are imbued with magical attributes, making them relatively valuable and rare.

Ingredients[edit]

These are items that can be combined with other ingredients or items in order to craft special items, to improve equipment, to prepare food or to create tools.



Equipment or Paper Doll[edit]

These represent the items currently equipped by your character. These items work like all item icons and can be dragged between characters and into and out of your inventory. You can equip a helmet, body armour, a sarong, a belt, two rings, a weapon, a shield (if you don't have a two-handed weapon equipped), boots, bracers, and a pendant.

Your inventory also shows how much gold a character is currently carrying and how much weight the character is currently bearing, which is a combination of inventory and what you have equipped.
