You shouldn't be having encumbrance issues at all. You should be breaking down unneeded weapons and armor to be able to upgrade the stuff you are using. That's the main power-up mechanic.

I'll have to check out avowed after kcd2

Games need a kart you can push with you

Brave Fencer Musashi lets the character get progressively more tired, moving slower and slower until eventually he just falls asleep wherever he is (potentially getting wrecked by nearby monsters) but also you always jump normally, presumably to avoid softlocking on impossible platforming

I kinda hated Avowed at first but I've found the fun and am liking it.

Like, it's not the RPG I wanted, but it's *kind of* the exploration and combat game I needed.

The world design is carrying it a lot. Not the lore, just the actual exploration of the maps.

I'm also playing it on Hard which so far is a solid challenge. I think I'd dislike it a lot more if it was mindless. I suspect once I spec into a build I find effective I may find it boring again.

- "Have you tried hopping?"

I love game logic.

I hate encumbrance but it's not a problem in Avowed

You can send any item to your stash or break it into weightless mats at any time

I love that in Obsidian games, whoever ported Pillars to console ruined it by making the stash limited

You can send everything to the camp if you encumbered!

Oh lordy I haven't even gotten overencumbered yet to try it, but will do if I get the chance!

Oh off topic, I absolutely LOVED SkateBird!

The fact that you can just magically send things to your stash is also a game changer. Also, the fact that you can break things down whenever you want, and some merchants will buy things from you straight from your stash. The QOL features in Avowed are out of control.

Seriously though I love that they don't gate running and jumping via stamina. Fuck that shit. Don't overtune, let your players do slightly whacky stuff. If it's too powerful? Upgrade your enemies so they're OP too!

(which they did, that's why enemy attacks can travel SO far, they can really getcha)

This is honestly why everyone loves Skyrim. They left all the goofy/fun bits in there.
