I wish games would just let you hoard every single loving thing

They could balance it like parasite eve and just let you use stuff in your "active" inventory and send everything else to the warehouse BC otherwise I gotta make ten trips to the mouth of the dungeon, load everything into a chest or something, then load everything into my inv, then fast travel, and it is insanely gay

i do this for every rpg with a weight limit. it's lovely design. i dont want to put everything i own in a cabinet that can magically store infinite stuff (while i cant for some reason) and keep revisiting it when i need certain things.

witcher 2 and any bethesda/obsidian game become loads better when you cheat the weight limit

Like, it's important for some games, because it's all about resource management. But not games like that - and especially skyrim where it's already pretty not great but is absolutely miserable busy work otherwise. The other option is to do a shitload of trips, but if the shits gonna get to my storage facility anyway it's better to just save myself the time.

I mean, I get that they wanna be "realistic" and immersive but infinite inventories are just a video game quality of life thing like not having to use the bathroom or something

Like, they could give you an item or something and say it's some kinda demensional pocket or something that you can drop items into at Any time, but can only take them out at certain places or something. Boom, now your players won't have a lovely miserable time while still maintaining game balance, AND it fits the world. This poo poo ain't hard

Gamer Confession: I actually like the tetris-style inventory layout systems.

I like.them too, but they're best when their only for equipping stuff or stuff on hand. 365/2 days or Re:coded uses it for leveling up and it's p good. I think Avalon Code had something like it too with code blocks.
