Baldur's Gate 3 gives you plenty of ways to manipulate things in your favour. If you don't succeed in the straightforward way, there's always another way to reach your goal. If that isn't possible either, you can just break the game to get what you want. Who can forget when Matt Mercer stacked 45 crates and used an Arrow of Transposition to get into a restricted area?
If you're thinking about going back to Baldur's Gate 3, the final patch is a perfect excuse.
There are plenty of such 'technically legal' exploits you can perform to get the upper hand in the game. It seems Patch 8, the final big update to Baldur's Gate 3, has introduced a feature that will now allow you to literally steal from vendors if you're in need of more gold. Once again, the Hexblade subclass has shown why it's everyone's new favourite.
As pointed out by Bugout76 on Reddit, Hexblade Warlocks can use Weapon Bond to sell a weapon to a vendor, only for it to reappear in their inventory. The action binds a weapon to the user, so it cant be knocked out of their hand and returns to their inventory if thrown....
