Bringing Linzi and Jubilost is why encumberance happens so much.

[Selvokaz]

It's something that should be apparent right away but if you're not used to inventory management especially the weight of encumberance this little detail can sneak up on you. Because of their size they clearly can't carry as much, and with them both having really low strengths it just becomes all that much more apparent that you're carrying their load.

their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hobbits with low strength, hald the size of normal people and whimpy at that. It's not like a stat thing but like having two children sized adventures maybe restricts weight? Kind of a no brainer.

Didn't really notice it. Since well with all the str boosts from the belts and the bags of holding encumbrance really doesn't affect you much. Especially if you also make use of the stash at the capital and the outpost.
