LE Over Encumbered Overhaul

[xxTheGoDxx]

I have the following idea to reform how over encumbered works in the game, but no idea how to realize it:

 

It is still possible to run while over encumbered (not sprinting), but it will cost you a little stamina to do so and you cannot use your hands, so no spell or weapon usage. Riding is still possible without a stamina penalty, but again, you can't sprint or wield anything.

 

If nobody can be found to write the mod (please!), can you give me a general direction how to do it myself?

I think that running should cost Stamina anyway, just not as much as Sprinting. But I would love to see a mod like this.

 

I think there have been some attempts, but the best mod I have at the moment is Walking Through Molasses. You slow down as soon as you are over-encumbered, but once you reach 1.5x your max carry weight, you cannot move at all. Just like Morrowind and Daggerfall (well, similar, anyway). And you can set the weight multiplier in the console to 1.5x or whatever you like.

 

It does not affect Stamina point usage, though.

 

Combined with RND, you can actually get too tired to move.

 

You don't get eaten by wandering monsters like in Daggerfall, and you restore health, stamina and magicka as usual, but at least it gives you a reason to rest.
