I can carry an unlimited amount of stuff...

[Jinkeljeier]

... using the horse.
I guess it's common knowledge? But I thought I'd share it.

Works like this:
1.Mount your horse
2. ride the horse into your storehouse or wherever your items are (it actually fits though all normal doors I tried)
3. load whatever you want into your own inventory (not the horse's)
4. Now you are overencumbered and cant move, but your horse can still move, as it's inventory is empty. So you can ride into town and sell stuff, as you can speak to people while horsemounted.

I am pretty sure there is no limit of your own wheight on the horse.
That really helped me sell some stuff that clogged my inventory!

Have a wonderful day, fellow burghers

Enjoy it while it lasts. The devs know about this one. ;)

[Jinkeljeier]

I'll be damned. Vigilant devs are vigilant! :D

"Now, get me my magic horse! I need to stuff my pockets and ride to town!"

Personally, I found it unbearable (like in all games) not to be able to wear everything I want, so I admit, I gave myself that "unlimited weight" advantage, and also "unlimited stamina".

It's true, it's not realistic and it makes the game a lot easier, but it's a personal choice.

Because I can't stand not being able to run more than 50 or 100m without the character blowing like an ox as if he had just done a marathon of 2000 km in 1 hour ... If the stamina decreased much more slowly, I might have agreed to deactivate this option, but this is not the case ...

[Jinkeljeier]

Yeah, the realism-factor is two-sided. Its realistic not to be able to carry a lot, but its unrealistic, that i cannot store more than x-amount of stone anywhere safely. So I guess it's always some kind of correlation to make it bearable. I'd actually love if my stamina and carring-ability were a bit more dynamic and would be calculated via age, health and experience.

I don't mind some simulation of difficulty with weight carrying - I think it adds to the planning required in the game which in turn can be more rewarding when successful.

There are skills you can take to increase your carrying capacity and lower your stamina consumption.

Extraction Tier 3 - Mule (adds 5kg)
Survival Tier 4 - Athlete (3 levels 10% slower stamina consumption per level)

Early on buy a simple backpack to increase your carrying capacity to 50kg. Add in the Mule skill and you're up to 55kg carrying. Depending on what you normally carry with you that equates to a lot of logs or stuff to sell.

I know, I saw that there were some skills (and bags) to improve these 2 stats, but for me they are not enough. I also thought about the challenge, and I had tried it for a while at the beginning, but no I can't do without it. I run around the map all the time to farm a lot of wood and stone, and sell up to 30 or 40 (or more) stone sickles or other, or hunt lots of deer, bison ... etc, for a long time without coming back to my warehouse to store all this ... etc.

Here, I prefer to play like that, I have more freedom and that suits me, because for the moment I have so much to do per day to the point such that a limited weight and an endurance that goes down too much is too many constraints for me.

These are constraints that I cannot bear, it is like that. But the rest, life (health), hunger, thirst, temperature and poisoning, is no problem, I can play the game without problem.

[Werric]

All good. There is never a right or wrong way to play games such as these. As long as you enjoy the game that's really all that matters.

[StarKnight]

Exactly ! :)

[StarKnight]

Having said that, I will soon be at the point where I can calm down doing a lot of stuff or running around everywhere...etc, so maybe soon I could no longer need its 2 advantages and keep playing while having to deal with those 2 stats, and I would then have challenged myself to no longer use these assets, but unfortunately, you can't change that in your game, and that's a shame !

Anyway to turn it off/on without re-starting?
