Hey everyone! I cleared out the Goblin camp in Act 1 to rescue Halsin, but in the process, I made Grat the trader hostile. I was wondering if there’s a way for me to still grab his items. I’m thinking about using Astarion to go invisible and pickpocket him, or maybe I could take out everyone else in the camp except for Grat and then pickpocket him. Is any of this doable? It’s my first playthrough, so sorry if this sounds like a silly question!

So unless Patch 8 changed something, vendor NPCs tend to leave behind some of their pricier items when they die, whether it’s from a planned hit or just because they turned hostile. If you were after the expensive stuff, killing Grat might get you what you want! Just be aware, if you wanted his whole inventory, that’s a bit trickier now.
Hostile traders usually drop some of their stock, but it’ll probably just be items you’ve sold to them, plus maybe one or two random things. Great early-game stuff, but nothing you’ll keep for long. There might be a mod out there to make them drop all their items, though! You won’t be short on traders going hostile later on.
Got it, so sounds like I shouldn’t sweat it too much over the items. I’m mainly after those boots for a temporary XP boost for Shadowheart.
