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.
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.
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.

yeah, but they have an easy instant right click to send to camp button. it’s really not a hindrance.

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.
