It doesn’t seem to break/affect anything at the moment so it’s staying it for the time being. [*] Throwing an item while you have an item with the same name equipped could reduce your inventory slots. [*] The less active custom mysteries you have the higher chance of a crash (2 mysteries in a folder = around 15%, 3 mysteries = around 5%, more mysteries = around 1-0.01% each playthrough). I’ll have to sit down and test some new solutions for it but with 2 example mysteries provided with the game it should be fine, even if you only download one new custom mystery.
