Were is it safe to stockpile you items? I have some trouble to choose for my best armor kit (more protective or less bulky? Armor or specific protection?) so I wish to keep my extra items in case I change my mind.
Is it just safe to pile them anywere?

As far as I can tell, the game keeps track of every single item that's dropped on the ground, for all time. You could go back to the goblins at the beginning of the game and pick up all those stone knives if you wanted to.

I'd recommend dumping your stuff in Fort Avernum, though, since you tend to pass through that location often.

Before you reach Fort Avernum, however, pile them around those pylons that sting you. This will make your life easier for the time being.

It's safest to stockpile items in areas with fewer items in them already so that you don't hit the item cap and start losing your loot. The cap is high enough that you'd really have to make an effort to hit it, but better safe than sorry.

—Alorael, who uses Fort Monastery. It has relatively few items in it already, a handy pylon, and a nice assortment of boxes and cabinets for keeping different kinds of items organized.

I think I hit the item cap exactly once in the game, when my entire party was loaded down with loot from a dungeon and I tried to drop everything so I could fight a monster without being encumbered. I didn't lose any items, though; the game just refused to let me drop anything more after a certain point.

Putting too much stuff on the ground in one spot does odd stuff. Apparently, the items take up so much time and memory for the game to show that the characters disappear.

Dikiyoba hits that barrier before Dikiyoba hits the item barrier. Dikiyoba's party should really use chests and barrels more often. Or seek treatment for their obsessive-compulsive disorder.
