Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 player doesn\u2019t realize that one common item can weigh him down easily Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have discovered that one of the most common and useful items in the game has a carry weight, leading to party members becoming encumbered. Carry weight is a major annoyance in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, especially for a party where the heroes have low Strength scores. Each character can only carry so much gear before becoming encumbered, which can drastically lower their speed. The encumbrance issue is one of the most frustrating aspects of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, to the point where mods exist to stop it from being a problem. It makes sense for carry weight to be in the game, as it prevents players from stealing everything not nailed down, but it\u2019s a hassle to deal with. The player picks up so much treasure in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 that it\u2019s easy to lose track of what\u2019s heavy and what\u2019s not, as the backpack gets filled with food, scrolls, potions, quest items, and ammo. In fact, one of the most common items in the game can be adding to your weight load without you realizing it. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players have discovered that gold has carry weight A user on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Reddit has created a thread about their discovery regarding gold, as they just noticed it has a carry weight relative to the amount you own. They were swiftly joined by other players who also didn\u2019t know that gold was heavy. \u201cWait wait\u2026this makes sense why I\u2019m always knocking on encumbrance,\u201d one user writes, \u201cThat and I\u2019m hoarding an arsenal of arrows and bombs.\u201d Players are confused because many games don\u2019t give their currency a carry weight, even ones with a strict inventory system. Usually, acquiring gold or its fantasy equivalent is intended to be useful, so players shouldn\u2019t have to worry about proper accounting or making room for it. It should be mentioned that the Dungeons & Dragons 5E rules, which Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 adapts, also have a carry weight and encumbrance system, but most people ignore it because it\u2019s just not fun to manage. Unfortunately, Larian didn\u2019t bring this lesson with them into Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. The best way to solve the issue is to have one character (usually Karlach or Lae\u2019zel) max out their Strength score as soon as possible, allowing them to become the pack mule of the group. That way, they can carry all the gold and you\u2019ll never have to worry about encumbrance again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
