Inventory management and lack of GP Options

[rbeverjr]

I hate inventory management. In the beginning, I gave myself one bag of holding to lessen that problem. I also promptly bought containers whenever I could. Unfortunately, I am spoiled with the use of bottomless containers. I made it to the Underdark and my containers and inventories were full up. I sold a lot of stuff and seemed to get pennies for it. On the other hand, one of the scrolls I wanted was 12,000 GP! It seems that anything that is very desirable is extremely expensive.

So, I have several questions. Why are bottomless containers not recommended? I have a fast computer and doubt that it will be slowed by this. I want it to make the game easier in that I can store ingredients for upgrades that I may never be able to afford. My next question is does money start pouring in later - how many upgrades can we reasonably expect to do? It was my intention to forge the judgment day sword and face the mighty demon prince. However, I begin to wonder if I will ever have enough money for it and whether the forging of this sword would be the most efficient use of my funds even if I could afford it. I invite comment on that.

Several places have drawers and chests. They aren't there only to be emptied. However, I don't know if many items must be kept from SoA to ToB -- this might be the only problem.
