Carrying capacity limit needs to go 2024+ games

[Marlfox]

If items are there to collect, important or not, let us freely take things without limiting and weighing down movement. It's annoying. I wish games would evolve this old idea and allow a method where players could take what's available without penalty. Make it more casual. Unless it's a simulator of real life or going for ultra realism, it is absurd.

Looking at games from big AAA titles, like Bethesda and CD Projekt RED. Most people don't have time to sift thru items every half hour or every 15 minutes to be able to walk/run at normal speeds until the next clean-up. And the same players don't want to miss important drops either with no time to carefully select specifics. There is no middle ground in these games unless it eats up a valuable perk or wearable slot, and even then it's not a solution, just improvement. I hope 2024 sees this inventory capacity trend finally die in gaming.

It's a game mechanic.

If you're playing a game and it has characters with limited carrying capacity and that does not also have interesting solutions or useful gameplay involved with it, then... return that game or stop playing it.


The thing is... if you've got a game that has interesting and powerful items the character can obtain and finding them is fun, which means there are probably a lot of them, and then you don't have some kind of limit on carrying capacity... Well, that game sucks. By the time you get a little way into it, you'll have appropriated enough neat powerful items to overcome many difficult challenges. Balancing for "characters can gobble up and keep everything" is impossible in a game that is supposed to have a wide selection of powerful and interesting toys to find.

But, whatever.. You are free to be upset about that and are free to either mod games that have carrying capacity, by removing/overcoming it, or just don't buy those games.
