I visited all the vendors I could get to to double check (just the 2 at the inn). There was one outside the crypt who wanted an egg but it's not letting me leave the zone. I don't recall selling it but it is possible I did it by accident I guess as it just shows as a standard white item apparently.

Yeah, the way you get locked down by the story mechanics isn't good and goes against the whole 'play your way' ethos of the game.
Best bet is to get to Moonrise Towers as a priority. The Reddit link provided by Lee32uk explains a good way to do it. You only need to get one character there as you'll unlock a waypoint. So just choose whoever is your most mobile character, give them a light source and some buffs and do the dash to Moonrise.
At Moonrise Towers can repair a lantern in Balthazar's Chambers you then won't need to worry about the pixie buff anymore. Bear in mind that not everyone gets the pixie buff anyway, depending on plot choices some players don't even get the option. So there are other methods for getting through the darkness, such as the Moon Lantern.
Good luck!

If you're being railroaded towards Moonrise, then can I assume you have done the following?
Visited the Shadowfell?
If so, then that's normal, as the events after that place basically reduce the most harmful effects remaining.
Yes I have done that although am sure I went in somewhere else after which killed me really quick with environmental damage.

Yeah, there's the Morgue by the House of Healing that is heavily impacted by it and not removed. You will need a lantern for that bit. At least, you used to back in the first few weeks of release, I am unsure if that was changed since though.
There's no critical story elements there, but an item or two that might be useful, otherwise, if it is this area, then it's fine to skip.
Look out for extra backpacks and pouches on your travels. These are a really good way of organising your inventory and can help with the clutter.
Also, you can use containers at your camp to offload items and supplies you don't want to carry around all the time. You can quickly pop back to camp anytime from anywhere while outside of combat, deposit / withdraw items and return to the same spot.
Back on this after about a 2-3 week break as I built my new pc on tuesday.what a difference in performance I'm getting an extra 100fps and the load times are stupidly quick.
Haven't got very far in this, still on act 1, but boy have I missed this, what an adventure I'm on.

Played this for 10 mins, had a month off, time to get back into it now the weather is turning, am one of these odd gamers that goes outside when it's sunny / not raining

Don't tempt me Frodo! Is there a Steam Deck 2 soon ?
Unlikely for a while. Plenty more powerful/expensive options around though!
I've had a break of about 2 weeks from the game after loving Act 1 and Act 2 then getting a bit tired of it in Act 3. Need to go back and complete it.... I can't quite put my finger on what it is about Act 3 that i don't like, but I was excited to get to Baldurs Gate, but it seems a little less exciting and immersive than the amazing environments of Act 1 and Act 2 had.
Yeah I quit in act 3, I keep reading the patch notes hoping for storyline/quest improvements. I think I'll probably give it a fresh go once the remaster is done.
