You have now become encumbered

Man this is so me. It's not really the point of this thread but I see games advertised as "choices matter" and I make the choice to skip that game lmao
Why stop at 999,999 when you can just set it to ∞.
I wish I had a Hammerspace, like a Bag of Holding.
I was so tempted to do this thread earlier when I was checking the update. I hate that installing the mod to get rid of it disables the trophies

Does it really ruin everything if you can carry any amount of stuff? Does it make you OP? It just removes busy work.
There's probably a separate mod that enables achievements again. There was one for Skyrim on consoles at least!
edit: actually I think I'm mixing this up with the 60fps mod? Sorry :( not sure how I got them confused
If i have to spend 45 minutes running somewhere that would normally take 5 because i am over encumbered i will fucking run that 45 minutes.
If a game has stats, skills and gear that increase my carry weight i will prioritize that over anything else. I WANT ALL THE GODDAMN LOOT. I'm the guy in POE who doesn't use a loot filter and will spend 40 minutes in a map that would take a normal person 2 minutes because i pick up every single item because i want every single item that drops.
I won't use mods, i won't use cheats. I will suffer for my hoarding addiction.

It's mine, I'm not giving it up, and if any of you drop anything it's mine as well. I will collect the entire world on my back because you never know when you might need something.
I may have 50 different magical scrolls and 20 unique varieties of special arrow, a 102 key ring, several bags (mostly filled with magical potions and other curatives), a few sets of armour and different weapons, a shovel, some rope, a library of books, notes, letters (all opened), an unseemly collection of severed heads that I don't remember picking up, and a storeroom worth of magical loot, curios, and genuine junk I'll be selling at the next shop, all packed away, but trust me it's all necessary for my adventure.
I will balance that equip load as I hoover up the land and march on. Because I am an adventurer, dammit, and that's what we do.
also if there's any sort of container, movable object, locked anything, or anything at all hidden everything of value will be mine when I'm through with it. NOTHING ESCAPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also while you were reading this I pickpocketed you of everything of value and am now running away

I VERY rarely enjoy dealing with encumbrance. 99/100 times I just look up a mod to give infinity capacity. It might break some balance stuff but I just don't care most of the time.
*edit* I should have given an example where I don't mind it. Stardew Valley. Dunno why, maybe its the casual nature, the ease at which you can drop off/sell extra stuff but it doesn't bother me there... actually thinking about it. I think I very quickly know if I need to keep it or sell it. In a lot of games where im carrying a ton of junk its cause I'm like "i dunno what a bingo explosion monitor is but maybe I need it later so I'm not getting rid of it"

In my real life I'm minimal. In games? I love stuff, give it all to me. Always go for perks that up my limit. Let Nioh 2 loot waterfalls cover me till I die.

I remember in one the Elder Scrolls games. I forgot which, there was some vendors that didn't have a hidden chest for thier wares. There was a trick of unloading a ton of shit unto the vendor that encumbered them. Then I would proceed to go to thier living quarters upstairs and steal all of thier shit. The vendor could do nothing, not even follow you upstairs.
Of course this is one the few bugs Bethesda actually fixed.

Of all Starfield's flaws, this was the most annoying to me. I ended up using this mod on PC to get around it...

Zero Weight (SFSE or ASI Loader)
A simple mod that sets the current mass of your and your ship's inventory to 0. Allows you to carry as many items as you want without negative effects.

Fallout 4 and 76 are games about picking up trash and then you eventually shoot things in the meantime while you look for more trash to pick up.
Souls-style equip weight is a fun mechanic. I don't really like Fallout 3-style encumbrance though.
On that topic, I think it's stupid in Souls games that alternate weapons count toward equip weight even when you don't have them out.
Its easy OP, you just need to beat the game with no equip load

I remember ambling all the way across Butcherblock Mountains at a snail's pace because I refused to drop any of my trash items. In EverQuest.
Lol just like in this video!

I'm the type to get rid of everything, sometimes stuff that I'll realize some time later that I could have used, so the only time this comes up is between trips to the shop to sell. I will absolutely suffer through the slow walk or whatever punishment the game gives you for being overburdened until I get somewhere to sell though.
It happened a lot in BG3, I'd be out exploring and picking up everything I possibly can to the point that all of my party members are encumbered and then sell everything to the vendors. Including rare weapons that don't fit my current build. I still kick myself every time I think of respeccing but realize I sold off the best gear for a different class.

I hate the encumbered system. I'd rather be poisoned, put to sleep, paralyzed, turned into a frog, battle a thousand flying enemies, or be forced to play Resident Evil 6 multiple times a year than get encumbered. It's the single most annoying mechanic to ever be put into a video game. I hate it.
People, you just make a cache in the nearest container to the fast travel point, then just warp back and forth as you sell stuff or deposit in your central stash in the dumpster next to the work bench. Unless you're playing in hardcore/survival, in which case you make dead drops until you've got a companion/squire to carry your shit for you.
Ironically this is wrong in Fallout 4 cause they made the ingenious idea to allow you to break down junk for components. Such an elegant solution for all the pointless pickable debris that they had in previous 3d Fallout games.
please, just drop some stuff.
you don't need every single trash you've found.
I like these kinds of constraints in games but no one ever seems to be able to come up with something that does not feel like a chore after a while. How much shit you can carry is gonna be invariably tied to the game's economy in most cases and most people just break it one way or another.
I stopped playing Outer Worlds and Divinity: Original Sin 2 because I got so overwhelmed with managing the inventory. Also used to drive me nuts in Skyrim. I wanted to play a stealthy rather than strong character, but then I couldn't carry half my ill gotten goods -_-
My actual hottest video game take is that encumbrance in modern-Fallout/ElderScrolls is good.
Those games are already too easy to break as is. And forcing the player to not just carry every bit of random junk they find, and making them make sometimes hard decisions about what to that can take to town, actually makes the game somewhat interesting to play.
A little bit of friction caused by the game mechanics can go a long way to make a game engaging to play.
