Encumbrance max lowered when I upped str
Ok, I am playing on the xbox and the last two times I increased strength when I leveled up my max encumbrance went down. lv 4-5 max went from 310 to 300, level 5-6 from 300 to 295. I thought adding to strength was supposed to increase max enc. My strength is 58 now that i went back to a save before leveling to 6. What am I missing.
You are correct; max encumberance should definitely go up when your strength goes up.
Are you wearing anything with a feather enchantment? Feather acts weird when your strength goes up magically, and maybe it acts weird when you level up too. If so, take off whatever gives you the feather enchantment, pick up or drop an item to force the game to recalculate your encumberance, and then put your feather item back on and it should be straightened out.
If you aren't wearing anything with feather, check your quest log for diseases or curses. Maybe you got slapped with something nasty that hurt your strength more than you increased it when you leveled up so you took a net loss?

Can the answer to this question be "No"?
