Then going to the first vendor in town and forcing them to buy all your crap even though they clearly have no use for it.

You are too encumbered to run

Yup, that's me. Hamster extraordinaire. I always hoard everything that isn't bolted down, carry around 150 medpacks and I usually go for some kind of health regenerating capabilities which I prefer to use before I use medpacks so now I have 250 medpacks just in case for the boss. Then I finish the game with 245 medpacks left coz boss wasn't really that hard and my regenerating health perk did most of the heavy lifting anyway XD

Any game like this that doesn't have a value/weight display somehow is not designed well. It's the single most important stat for most of them. Somehow Bethesda games still don't ship with it and it needs to be added with mods.

Every time I play Skyrim:

"You are carrying too much to be able to run"

Inventory:

• ...
• 30 "Solution of Strength" potions

Me: But I might need those later.

Im at a point in my life where I know I will not use consumables, so I just sell them to get permanent upgrades and cosmetics instead

I swear I spend more time doing inventory management in fallout than anything else in the game

Modded minecraft feels exactly like that

"Wait!! A strange flower"

"Ooh this fruit seems useful"

"A new wood, i should take the sapling"

"An enchanted book? Well you never know when it may be useful"

"A rainbow gem, it could unlock some powerful gear"

And then you barelly have any space left

modifies the game files to increase carry weight and continues taking everything

Those who say “socioeconomics is the dark truth of the marshmallow test” labor under blissful misapprehension of this fact…

A reality darker even still…

*opens player inventory, releasing avalanche of 65,535 marshmallows*

Btw, is there still no RPG that ties monetary worth to the probability of being robbed/atttacked at random?

Play Gothic. No inventory limit.

Been replaying BG1, oof

If they don't want be to steal everything, why would they make thieving a part of the game?

I treat consumables as though they are power ups. I don't let myself keep more than 10 of them at a time UNLESS there is a specific point at which I'm scheduled to use all of them at once. Such as, if there is a particular boss battle where I am planning to go all out and curbstomp the enemy with extreme prejudice out of sheer spite.

Some particular foes I've encountered in the Trails of Cold Steel series really piss me off and I feel a distinct sense of pride when I don't even give those fuckers a TURN, leaning hard on time-elemental spells to grant my allies extra turns, and interrupt combo crafts too. Even though I was "scripted" to lose, I wanted to show them how fast shit gets real and they need to stop fucking around. If not for any other reason, i like to save time on a fight that doesn't deserve to be drawn out - WITHOUT surrendering.

Those arrogant shitbags talk a big game but I slapped that underestimating charade right off their smug goddamn faces before they get a chance to BLINK. I like to really get into playing the roles in my role playing games, you see, and narratively i like to think it's my party making the antagonists regret toying with us. They will remember that the only reason they survived was because they were holding back. And the next time ... NOTHING WILL HELP THEM. 😈

Try playing a traditional Roguelike such as Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Don’t use your consumables and you’ll just die!

Struggling through Fallout Tactics right now and having to use the lockers they provide in each bunker, then moving all my ammo/healing/weapons to the next bunker. I CAN'T CARRY EVERYTHING DAMNIT!

Oh, and the weird thingsda? Might figure it out later or be related to a quest (i don't have to run back here). Better take it.
You just broke the main quest chain.

I hate games with a lot of collectibles and hidden Easter egg stuff, since I'm a completionist and a hoarder, I waste so much time digging through things that lose track of the main missions and story and then the game becomes a drag

Funnily enough I am solo-devving game based on Tarot. It takes place in the non-corporeal world beyond life, so there's no inventory space issues. I guess unless you hit the 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 limit.

This is the main thing that drives me away from the majority of isometric action rpgs, like Diablo 2. Insanely too limited inventory space. Also one of the reasons Torchlight 2 is still my go-to even after all these years.

Like seriously, for a game that sends a veritable flood of interesting loot your way, wtf is this D2?

Ever play the legend of dragoon? Real gamers know the pain of that inventory.

Hoarding forever

Skyrim. 😓

Laughs in player.setav carryweight 5000

I'm playing Tunic now, and literally have no idea what the consumables even do, so I'm just holding onto them.

keep every high level consumable until end game, spam the final boss with a storm of fury never seen before

stop at vendor

Sort by value? unique items, invaluable Nooo
