🐿️gamedev is funny because it's like "how do I make the treasure chests work?" and the answer seems to be "make it a sort of NPC"
@roxy this is the answer in baldur's gate 3 and bethesda games
@hy 🐿️ hoping to avoid bethesdas weird bugs (but not bethesdas' loads of money)
@hy @roxy Some bethesda games have done the reverse as well: Skyrim's merchant NPCs often have access to invisible chests they can access so they can sell loot without carrying it, or the algorithm that decides what the NPC is doing equipping it.
