I totally agree with you that they should or better put something worthwhile in them every once in a while. But I personaly have no problem with that. Even in previous games whaever I`d found in chests all around the game would go straight to the next merchant I saw. Not because I did not like what was found in the chests, but because I had to mind sets.
1 was looking at the items in a chest, no matter how low in value (the higheer the number the more they worth though), I looked at them as an easy way of rising my money. So I did nnot care what was in the chests, I just took them and sold them right after that. even if it was something good. why? ou see in 2.
2 was my approach to gear, weapon, etc. First, I always looked MATCH and wear a COMPLETE set of gear or sword. What I am saying is that I would wear all parts of Juggernot armor for example and with ita SILVERITE sword. Not one part of each armor to get multiple bonuses. Also I wanted to balance my party members. Meaning if I was wearing tier 4 armor, everyone in the party would wear a tier 4 armor unless I have not collected or gotten a tier 4 amor for someone. And my weapon would be tier 4 too and even my acessories. So the party looked more balanced and better handled and strong imo. And usually what were found in the chests, almost always, were unique item with no set. So I`d well them.
A simple question if you may. Which company is stronger?
company one: One wearing tier 6 armor and gear, one wearing tier5, one tier 4 and two tier 3.
Company B: all wearing tier or all wearing tir 4 or 5 armor and gear?
