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?

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 months ago

Filling the floor of your house in Skyrim and then running around so it throws those rolls and cheese is my favorite thing

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 53 points 2 months ago (4 children)

You can stick refrigerator magnets to your back?

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago

I thought everyone knew the covid vaccine makes you magnetic.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago

Only if I intend to use them as weapons.

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?

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months 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

[–] Wrench@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months 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.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months 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.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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!

[–] visc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months 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.

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.

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months 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.

They're learning TOTAL nonsense...

Like that perseverance and effort lead to success and reward.

HL2 is the game that gave me this unrealistic standard

[–] Damage@feddit.it 3 points 2 months ago
[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And how many dirt blocks you can carry

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Marduk73@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sniper Elite 5 enters the chat.

Pistol, smg, long gun, and pilfered mg42. The WEIGHT! and... Climbing a ladder with all that.

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't even get me started on GTA V.

[–] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months 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.

[–] evranch@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months 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.

Is this why zoomers grew up with 2 guns shooters?

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

For me it's less swords and more single use consumables.

[–] Disgracefulone@discuss.online 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months 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.

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.

omega vanitas enters the chat

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

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

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