Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 Revive Age-Old RPG Debate About Encumbrance (www.ign.com)

Starfield and Baldur's Gate 3 both weigh the player down with encumbrance. Love it or hate it, it seems like it's here to stay.

I actually really like what starfield does. It's a rolling scale, the more encumbered you are the more you have to pause and "recharge" O2. So being over by 2 won't affect you a lot, but over by 100 sure will

I agree, I don't mind much of how they handle encumbrance itself except for the constant nagging from my companion. Personally, I just don't think they interrogated the concepts of encumbrance at all - which isn't surprising of course, bethesda design seems to have so many sacred cows it may as well be a holy dairy.
