In deep role-playing games like Baldur’s Gate 3, you often find a wealth of literature with background information about the world. Players explain why you should take the time to build a proper book management system. You might miss something.
Why should you read every book? In Baldur’s Gate 3, you find books, documents, notes with clues, or even strange notes with the quirky thoughts of the author at every corner. In short: Everything can be important.
Many players on the discussion platform Reddit see it similarly. That’s why they wish for a marker that indicates which book has already been read (via reddit.com).
It turned out that not every player reads all the books. What makes some shake their heads is actually quite normal. In the thread, players provide hints on why you should at least skim every book:
- Some books / documents have an effect on things nearby
- You can discover hidden quests
- Read such quest books, they may contain clues

How are you supposed to carry all this? The space in your backpacks is limited, but the chest in the camp is not. Right-click on the book and you can “send it to the camp” without detour. Here are more tips for your inventory management:
Players know how to help themselves: In the thread on Reddit, the request from the thread creator is also discussed, namely a marker for read books. Some players agree, some would be excited about it.
