And how many dirt blocks you can carry
I’ve got three buckets of water in my backpack!

Weight systems like Skyrim are pointless time sinks. They’re not realistic, it just means you have to spend far too much time micromanaging your inventory as a basic game mechanic.
This might be my only complaint about Baldur’s Gate 3. In my (extensive) dnd experience, encumberance is usually the first rule that gets thrown away for being unfun.
Aye, the inventory is borked. They should have used the inventory slot limitation as well as weight, just like in the real baldur’s gate games!
yeah, but they have an easy instant right click to send to camp button. it’s really not a hindrance.
I disagree. It’s still a bunch of unnecessary menu management time, especially if you’re running a low STR party. That being said, I have over 650 hours in the game so it definitely didn’t ruin it for me.
The inventory management in general was clunky and pita to use for a game from 24’
Were you carrying around 1000 camp supplies, 8 looted swords, 35 potions, and 2 suits of plate armour by any chance? ;)
Obviously, yes. Lol.
What a coincidence, that’s the exact kit I equipped Laezel with.
I feel like Valheim really nailed this system. The weight restriction (along with portal restrictions) encourages building a base in a good spot and make an infrastructure of paths and canals in order to make resource harvesting easier and faster. I have spent many hours just digging out canals to allow boat transportation instead of taking 5 minute deviations. Also it encourages constructing bases in tougher locations to save time on transportation. Without the weight limit I feel like the game would lose so much of the encouragement to make awesome bases if weight limits were removed.

Hell yeah learned a thing.

“yes this piece of paper and the full body armor take up the same amount of space”
I mean, carrying capacity is real, just that in real life mine is very low.
I ran into this T-shirt at a con recently.
I needs it
I often struggle while playing STALKER (especially Anomaly) because I feel like I should only realistically carry two guns, but here I am with an AR, a hunting rifle, a shotgun, and a sidearm.
I picked up some gel airsoft guns and have been playing steady with my kid.
Anyways I just picked up a rifle which freed up both pistols we had for one person to wield. And let me tell you, dual wielding automatic pistols not only is completely non-functional but also makes you feel like an idiot just holding them. Completely the opposite of Halo.
4 is already too low.
Is this why zoomers grew up with 2 guns shooters?
Maybe it was CS Lewis who argued that fairy tales are a less dangerous kind of fiction than real-life setting fiction. Nobody really thinks talking dogs and dragons are coming to their schools, after all. It’s safe because it’s not pushing unrealistic expectations about how the world works.
That’s a really solid argument coming from a Christian apologist.
They’re learning TOTAL nonsense…
Like that perseverance and effort lead to success and reward.
And unless they are playing souls like games, the apparent skill progression is falsely inflated by enemy difficulty decreasing each attempt.
That is nothing compared to the fact you could place a ten full large backpacks inside one glowing knapsack on a mud and it wouldn’t affect you stamina at all.
Do you mean I can’t just pause a street brawl to eat 8 bags of flour and a wheel of cheese to restore some health before continuing to fight?
My head canon for pause menus is that time continued as normal from the npcs perspective and I just ate food so fast I broke the laws of physics
As for bread healing stab wounds well it was just really delicious bread
What of my collection of cheese wheels and sweet rolls?!
That’s why you have a house. Multiple, even. What are you, some strolling watchman?
Filling the floor of your house in Skyrim and then running around so it throws those rolls and cheese is my favorite thing
Or all my ammo?
HL2 is the game that gave me this unrealistic standard
