That is one aspect I don't like, I love doing quests, not packing and visiting the market every 10-15 minutes. This is what I meant. I would prefer it if they would give more gold and less items. |
It's basically realism and frustration versus convinience and simplicity. It's why I usually modify games that use encumbrance rather than inventory space. For instance, in DND games (I'm not sure about video games), a person with average strength, being 10, can lift a light load of 33 pounds. Medium is 66 and heavy is 99, but this doesn't make sense. Most of the people I've met can easily lift 50 or 60 pounds without being slowed down, and they are rather "average" people. So I modify weight properties in the games.
I also did to oblivion and morrowind with a modification what neverwinter nights did with magic bags and bags of holding, always useful that.
So while I do agree, there are ways around this without it really being considered cheating. A bag of holding in an oblivion shop could be sold for 500 septims, thus you would have paid for that extra space and reduced weight in your inventory legitimately.
