Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 Revive Age-Old RPG Debate About Encumbrance - eviltoast

Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 both weigh the player down with encumbrance. Love it or hate it, it seems like it’s here to stay.

    Tbh I could do without in most games. I spent more time throwing stuff than shooting enemies in starfield so far

      Inventory mods are often the very first thing I go after. I don’t care how unrealistic it is, I’m not playing a storage simulator.

        Yeah, I added a ship upgrade and never even got it beyond halfway full. Granted I don’t pick up everything, and I usually sold spare armor/weapons each town visit out of habit, but exotic materials and resources I always grabbed, and ended up with like 1100 mass out of 2600 on my ship.

      They’re always the first mods I installed in skyrim. So many times you get a surprise dragon fight after just clearing out and looting an entire dungeon. I hate killing it and then not being able to pick up the bones because oooh no you’re already carrying too much!
