Carrying capacity not adding up.
My carrying capacity at level 2 was 160 with no other equipment benefiting that perk. I leveled up to level 3 which said "increases total carrying capacity 50 kg" and now my max carry is only 185. So it only went up 25 not 50. I made sure no other perks or gear were affecting it. Took all my gear off and went through my entire inventory and no difference. Am I missing something or is it glitched!? It says an increase of 50 kg not 25. BAH!

So by level 4 which is an extra 100. Your base of 135 plus 100 should be 235. Not sure if Bethesda intended this way or a bug.

Eating food items, and different gear, changes your carry weight. You need to unlock the perk to get the full benefits from it by performing actions in game.

It does say run 5000 meters with 75% or more capacity underneath. Will it increase to 200kg when that goal is reached?

if you look at your post you are doing your math wrong.
at 160
raised level went up to level three from +25 to +50 there is a 25 difference between 25 and 50 equals 25.
25+160= 185
so at level 4 you are not adding 100 but actually 50 so your final lifting capacity will be 235.

I'm guessing I wasn't reading it correctly, but what you're saying makes sense.

Yeah, thats what I figured after looking at it again. To me it just wasnt that clearly worded. I thought it meant total from the level before not from the starting number. IT can be taken either way.

They need to re-word it in my opinion.

I just had my carrying capacity drop from 170 to 130. Nothing made sense so I started reloading previous saves. Fortunately, I had one with 170 recently. I reloaded it and repeated the actions I took previously with no effect on my carrying capacity. This has to have been a BUG!!

I agree that how it is worded is NOT clear.

The first question I asked about the game, when I first started playing, was whether that exact skill added the amount indicated each level, or if adds the amount specifically specified by the current rank, superseding the previous ones.

At this point, I've played the game a lot longer and noticed several of the other skills have the same lack of clarity in that regards, but all of them work the same way. So at least it's consistent.

Maybe it's just because I've played plenty of games over the years that did it like this, but I didn't find it unclear at all. /shrug

Because i misread something Im dumb? LOL. Its insane how many miserable people are showing their faces just to come to and insult someone over a basic comment. I literally said in the next comment that I read it wrong. Thats ok though. As long as you feel better now. Thats all that matters.
