Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players demand change to \u201ctedious\u201d encumbrance system Larian StudiosBaldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are sick of dealing with the game\u2019s encumbrance system, as it can grind gameplay to a halt, thanks to all of the inventory management it creates. As Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 adapts D&D 5E rules into the video game form, the developers could cut anything that didn\u2019t work. This includes managing non-magical ammunition for ranged weapons, which is present in D&D but not Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. Unfortunately, one of the least popular aspects of D&D made it into Baldur\u2019s Gate 3, as encumbrance and item weight were included. This is despite most D&D groups scrapping encumbrance rules, except when players want to carry large items. As Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 gives the party lots of items they need for battle, such as weapons, potions, magic arrows, scrolls, and barrels, the player needs to manage them in each character\u2019s inventory. This means they\u2019ll soon be running into the encumbrance system, and not everyone is happy about it. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players are sick of dealing with the encumbrance system A user on the Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 subreddit has shared their biggest complaint about the game, as they think encumbrance adds nothing to the experience. Other users quickly flocked to the thread to share their issues with the system. \u201cI\u2019m going to be 100% honest \u2013 I use cheats to get rid of it. Inventory management sucks already. I don\u2019t need stupid weight limits slowing me down,\u201d one user writes, while another says, \u201cInventory is the worst part of the game, closely followed by the camera,\u201d A lot of players use mods to deal with Baldur\u2019s Gate 3\u2019s encumbrance system, as it can be used to give every party member unlimited inventory weight. Unfortunately, this is restricted to the PC platform, so PlayStation 5 players are out of luck. What\u2019s frustrating about this system is that there\u2019s a D&D item that could fix the problem: the Bag of Holding. This TARDIS-style item is bigger on the inside than the outside, so it could have been included to reduce inventory management. It\u2019s not in the game, though. Having to swap items around to stop characters from becoming encumbered in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is one of the most tedious aspects of the game, and fans are hoping that an option will be included to get rid of it. Hopefully, a future patch will give players a choice to switch it off and end the tyranny of encumbrance forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
