In order to make it easier to find that “one extra piece of loot”, it would be nice if say, you have chunks of the area broken down.
For example, let’s take Salthamn.
Salthamn has eh, 45 items.
The bunker has 15
The barracks in the bunker has 3.
When you enter the barracks of the bunker you’d get a popup letting you know there’s three there.
Same with houses.
You go to a house, it tells you it has 15 items, 1 collectable, 1 weapon.
You enter the main foyer, it tells you there’s one item.
You enter the kitchen it tells you there’s four items.
You enter the upstairs bedroom it tells you there’s 1 gun and two items.
These breakdowns would help with the incredible amount of loot in the game.
However I still think loot should be consolidated and puzzles should be used to find caches, which contain the total of what would be that area’s stash. That way instead of looking for that one ammo box that’s on top of a door frame for whatever reason, you’re looking for clues as to what happened in an area and eventually find the stash as well as figure out “What happened to these people?” in the building.

In fact all you ask is to go in the direction of making the game more for casual gamers?
Please no. this game is difficult.
you have to look for clues.
Always have a well organized inventory.
equip his belt accordingly.
Please do not make the game easier.
Sorry for my bad english, im french.
The problem stems from the fact that you may be looking for that “one last item” and have no clue where the final item might be. You can spend a ton of time just searching for that item just to see “100%” pop up on your screen if you’re a completionist, and it’s a huge time sink.
I’m not trying to cater to casual gamers, I’m trying to cater to completionists who want to make sure they check every box off in the list.
Clues only get you so far. Sometimes loot is hidden in places that aren’t obvious and sometimes due to the layout of the area/settlement it’s just hard to keep track of what you’ve looted. So I don’t see this as something that’s necessarily a negative and will keep pushing for it as I believe it can be beneficial. Naturally I believe all new options should be toggles, so it could be something that you can toggle on in the menu (“In-Depth Loot Display (On|Off)”)
Thanks.
