Can confirm: tried to copy barbarians from D4. Slung the two-handed mace over my back and as soon as I tried to pick up the two-handed sword I fell over. Couldn't even get to the one handers

Thinking about Dark Souls 1 having the animation for taking something out of your inventory, such as the binoculars, your dude basically pulls it out of his ass.

Hell yeah learned a thing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

They should ban multiple swords in games for sure - only one per person and that's it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I love in old adventures, how they can pull out of bag almost anything. Eagle, fridge and even a car and still it looks believable.

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

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

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

And how many dirt blocks you can carry

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I've got three buckets of water in my backpack!

Is this why zoomers grew up with 2 guns shooters?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Bet you look rad as hell, though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

That's a really solid argument coming from a Christian apologist.

I ran into this T-shirt at a con recently.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Were you carrying around 1000 camp supplies, 8 looted swords, 35 potions, and 2 suits of plate armour by any chance? ;)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

What a coincidence, that’s the exact kit I equipped Laezel with.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

The inventory management in general was clunky and pita to use for a game from 24'

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Nothing a few cans of energy drink can't fix
