I just discovered that if my carried weight outnumbers the carrying capacity (I’m 110% over-encumbered for example), and then drop stuff down, the weight does not go down.
But when I drop it, take it back, then drop it and repeat it multiple times, it goes down to 0 - see picture below:
And an other weirdness: we know, every stuff has weight, even armor pieces. If you equip them they still weight the same. Normally. But now, if you have a piece in your inventory, it weights X. And when if you equip it, it will add that X weight into your carrying weight AGAIN. See the 2 pictures below:
I will check it on consoles too. Sorry @rolee9309, I just noticed your post . The previous days I was very busy so I lost a lot new posts, my apologies!
Well, I tried unmodded, fresh game and was not able to reproduce. Probably need to play a bit more and hope for it to happen.
On my current gameplay it does not always happen, I don’t know what triggers it, probably being over-encumbered, I did not notice anything special.
From times to times I get a buff +45 carrying capacity. If I die I loose it and I am over encumbered when I retrieve my things. I remember the video of the sorcery presentation, a Dev said that they want the corruption to have bonuses over time. Since the launch of the game I didn’t notice anything like it except this encumbrance buff I already stated. Sometimes I get over time extra stamina too.
Omg you got me . Sometimes when I kill and the npc has food I consume it instantly. So this must be the reason and it makes sence. Thank you sir, once again master .
Interesting on the food. I never ate that food so was not aware there was an encumbrance stat bonus on that meal.
No idea on the weight issue. Personally… I walk slow back to base so never did the drop and pick up concept before. Although if I had drop things, I would not have picked things back up. I am sure most people wouldn’t have picked up items after dropping it if they had weight issues. Although some gear has + encumbrance if you switch gear so they can effect the weight carried percentage. I tend to wear encumbrance bonus gear.
Thanks @SirDaveWolf and @GodisGood then it is not mod related. @stelagel yeah, foods have changed. But I still use the same ones, the feasts only.
I have a lot of rhino head soups for carry, but a lot of lasting feasts too, because cimmerians and vikings drop it pretty frequently. So I am pretty set for carrying a lot of stuff.
It’s good that feasts do find buff reasons. Players should feel rewarded for taking time and plenty resources to create feasts. Salted pork is a trap. 5 salt for a piece is making it a bit grindy and if I am not mistaken, consuming it you must loose hydration. I will check it later. The good part is that the buff stays long and it’s not affected from consuming pork feast after. So no problem!
@SirDaveWolf
Yes, especially with sorcery is too grindy to farm crystal . I never tried the harvesting spell in the brimstone lake, is it profitable like the crystals?
