Keep in mind that this won't necessarily highlight everything - only things your character can currently see.

Some objects might be easier or harder to notice, depending, while characters with high perception, insight, investigation or similar 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 skills are better at noticing less-obvious elem🥀ents in ♋the world around them.
