Not sure if this is indeed the case for everyone. d) console command that will generate item distribution stats would be great !
To be fair you need 3 weapons on a warrior but only 2 staffs on a wizard so that seams correct. Arcane items being the only 4 slot item needs to drop a bit more but yes i think its over saturated as well.
Interesting. So, the way our loot drops should work is that we pick a rarity first, then find an item based on that (and any level restrictions, if relevant). From there, the chance of any slot type appearing should be dependent on the number of items that existing for that slot. We've tried to weight them by usage, so there are three times as many weapons as heavy armor, for example.
Is there any fair way to introduce a weighting based on the current party makeup? I wouldn't suggest something as drastic as ONLY dropping wizard equipment for an all-wizard party, but maybe making it a more likely find? An all-elf party would be far more likely to see elf skills than human or dwarf, too (/wink SurgeonFish).
