You are encumbered and cannot run!

>You are encumbered and cannot run!

why do RPGs still have this awful awful mechanic

>let me just pick up fucking everything because you never know when a pile of slightly burned gostak droppings might come in handy

BECAUSE MUH REALISM

Because it trains item management.
It's also really satisfying to be able to carry more stuff.

>weight limit at near maximum
>enemy casts a spell that reduces your strength

>one of the only challenges of an RPG is resource management
>doesnt want to manage resources in his RPG

this problem would be doubly solved if RPGs also got rid of shitty crafting systems where you need 3 dung pies and 4 iron ore chunks to craft your weapons

just get rid of crafting

get rid of it

it sucks and is always done bad

>encumberment/weight limit
>shitty crafting systems
>weapon durability

get rid of these 3 things and every game is better

>reifag

>progress further in the game
>I need 9 burned gostak droppings and 14 harpy feathers to enchant my spear
WOOPS I DROPPED THEM ALL TIME TO GO BACK AND FARM SOME

beat me to it

Like it doesnt even fucking balance anything.
If i wanted i could wear the heaviest fucking armour and carry 200 potions of rape if i min max but you wont let me carry these fucking books?

You brought some restore strength potions with you, right?

>you never know when a pile of slightly burned gostak droppings might come in handy

The problem is that you actually never know.

>slightly burned gostak droppings drop in the beginning of the game only
>turns out there is a side quest 50 hours into the game that requires slightly burned gostak droppings

HOPE YOU SAVED THEM THE WHOLE TIME!

mmos do it to suck more cash out of you

>you become 'encumbered' above a certain unlisted % of weight carried instead of at 100% of your numerical carry weight
>slightly lower percentages will affect your movement speed without telling you

Roleplaying and realism.

You wouldn't be able to haul every single object out of a dungeon/building, therefore you should only pick up what you really need and come back for the rest if you want it at a later time.

I can't imagine how much you guys would get triggered playing NV with the jsawyer mod, that shit will really train you to only carry what you absolutely need.

>realism
But what if I want to roleplay as a super strong guy

Well if it's a well thought out game, more STR would mean more carry weight, so do that.

The best inventory management mechanic is a finite grid of blocks (e.g. Deus EX HR, System Shock 2), prove me wrong?

Have a separate inventory for crafting materials that has no weight limit, but items don't stack over 99 to stop bullshit numbers

>posting worst girl to ever exist

>failing to see that not being a human is exactly her selling point

Because you're encumbered

>Not a human
Lilith is the primordial human Rei has Lilith's soul and a human body but if you put a primordial being in with regular humans and expect it to act like everyone else you're retarded, also she has no emotions and yet she saved the world because she loved Shinji and talked him through Instrumentality and convinced him individuality was the best way while his psyche was completely destroyed Rei saved everyone and gave up her own life to do it for Shinji's sake
>Muh no emotions

Okay subhuman

Despite the fact that your really suppose to find her weird, creepy and nonhuman compared the flawed human beings that Asuka and Shinji are for example.
