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?
It took me months to recover after I learned that I couldn’t stick weapons to my back like refrigerator magnets.
You can stick refrigerator magnets to your back?
I thought everyone knew the covid vaccine makes you magnetic.
There’s people who can’t?
Iron deficiency…
Covid vaccine
Only if I intend to use them as weapons.
Oh the old
redditlemmy switcherooHold my bag of many things, I’m going in!
I ran into this T-shirt at a con recently.
I needs it
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
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’
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!
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.
Kenshi keeps it somewhat realistic: a slot for a main weapon and a sidearm each, and str on 1 lets you carry a bit of food additionally and not much else, encumberance has speed and fight debuffs. Inventory in slots is restricted anyway and most things don’t stack (though i use ogre stack mod). Then there’s backpacks for the buff members of your team. Btw, arm bulk is determined by whole 3 parameters.
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.
Nothing a few cans of energy drink can’t fix

Hell yeah learned a thing.
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.
Here I thought the one piece dude was ridiculous.
Something about people wielding more than two swords at once is hilariously awesome.
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.
HL2 is the game that gave me this unrealistic standard
Quake
And how many dirt blocks you can carry
I’ve got three buckets of water in my backpack!
Sniper Elite 5 enters the chat.
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.
WDYM I CANT realistically carry an rpg, a minigun, a laser minigun, a firework launcher, and railgun in… where does the gta protag store their weapons, wait I don’t wanna know
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.
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.
Bet you look rad as hell, though.
4 is already too low.
Lol, yeah… I’ve seen other people’s inventory in screenshots and a lot of them are wearing an exosuit just to lug around twelve different rifles and machine guns.
