I mean, carrying capacity is real, just that in real life mine is very low.

Pistol, smg, long gun, and pilfered mg42. The WEIGHT! and… Climbing a ladder with all that.
Don’t even get me started on GTA V.
I have a sword (tbh it’s kind of Spanish mall ninja shit, if the mall was a factory catering to tourists who want sharp souvenirs) and it’s not even that big, but it’s heavy. I know how many swords I can carry and the answer is one until I get tired. Then none.
Stalker was good for this, realistic weight allowances, the more you carried the quicker your stamina went dien until you couldn’t jump and then couldn’t walk.
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.
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.
Is this why zoomers grew up with 2 guns shooters?
I ran into this T-shirt at a con recently.
I needs it
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.

“yes this piece of paper and the full body armor take up the same amount of space”

What of my collection of cheese wheels and sweet rolls?!
For me it’s less swords and more single use consumables.
It took me months to recover after I learned that I couldn’t stick weapons to my back like refrigerator magnets.
