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 get the complaint with starfield since transferring stuff to your companions or ship is such a pain with their awful UI, but it’s not even an issue in BG3.

    99% of the time my party members have plenty of room to store all my shit, and in the rare occasion they don’t it’s a sign I have tons of shit to sell. On the even rarer occasion I run out of room in a situation where I can’t easily leave, I can just send my extra crap to camp. Mind you, besides Shadowheart(Str 18) me and my party members all have base strength.

      The only thing annoying with BG3 is that “sell all wares” only refers to those at the current character

      I’d have liked it if stuff marked as wares would always be automatically distributed between the characters (or that there was a button to do this)

      Also why can I select multiple items at once and move them between characters but not mark multiple items as wares?

      Why can’t I save that every cup I pick up should go to wares automatically?

      I feel as if BG3 could’ve made the whole carrying thing far less annoying with ways to do less inventory management

        You can multi-select items and mark them all as wares at once, just only for one character at a time. I agree all wares should be pooled between characters though, or we should have the option at least.
