Roleplay reasons not to mount a horse while overencumbered?

[vankasteelj]

Hi,

Enjoying the last update 1.8.1 here, but I wonder why we can't mount our horse when overencumbered. I mean, if I can load things on my horse, then mount it, having it in a bag on my shoulder (like when I walk but cannot run) shouldn't be an issue, should it?

So I'm wondering if there are any roleplay reasons for that to have changed. Now, when overencumbered, you have to load your horse with your stuff, then mount it.

At first glance, I do not see any reason for this. But I might be wrong, hence this thread/question.

Maybe you would be too heavy to actually climb on the horse? ;)

would make sense if henrys total weight would be calculated vs the horses total carry weight, though riding might be quite uncomfy while being totally overburdened yourself.

on the other side u could carry 5k weight and mount ur horse normally, which from an rpg-standpoint is laughable, so personally i think this game adds to immersion, though it felt bad leaving 500 boar meat in the middle of the forest.

haven´t checked compatability

the option to have a 2nd horse would be nice though the amount of changes to the base game would probably be unreasonable.
(donkey or wagon are questionable due to travel speed)

from a pure immersion standpoint i´d go with unlimited carry weight and dropping a couple of thousand groschens somewhere to "pay" for imaginary carry-horses, at least if u really want more carry weight.

atm on hardcore with all negative perks i´m sitting on 100k groschen, have some of the best armor available (didn´t go treasure hunting so far) and haven´t even touched the 1st main-quest (awakening) (timers...). so this change isn´t really a huge problem if u organize well & plan ahead.



so there are reasons for it (immersion) & reasons against it (implementation & lack of immersive workarounds) and also mods to somewhat fix it (if it actually needs fixing)

I actually like the change myself. Packing my horse full of goodies and then picking up and unlimited amount of whatever and ride around unencumbered made little sense to me. It also helps balance out some of the pace you can get the best gear, I used to have the best gear in the game as soon as I finished the prologue now I actually had to clear out the bandits and Cumens for Sir Robard and Captain Bernard to get it.
