LE [REQ] -Immersion- Realistic carrying and encumbrance

[DeSetuede]

I posted this on the Bethesda forums, but thought i'd put it here as well.

 

This is a great start, but I'd love to see something that prevents you from holding a full set of heavy armour for example in your inventory. Light armour and clothing (maybe...) as you could stuff it into a bag..

 

For me, something that limits me to the following (max)

 

1x Bow

1x Arrows

1x Great Weapon (Blunt/Blade/Axe)

2x Medium Weapon (Blunt/Blade/Axe)

3x Small weapon (Dagger etc.)

 

Absolutely maxed out, you can imagine a player running around with this (Take Armed to the Teeth mod as an example) I don't want to be able to carry any more than that and it would force me to max the decision as to whether to sacrifice 1 weapon for another, or store it somewhere. (House/Horse etc.) [/Quote]

 

 

 

I'm thinking of something like Armed to the Teeth, mixed with a realistic carrying mod. (ala Deus Ex only allowing certain weapons)

 

With mods like Horses with sachets it would mean that dungeon trawling would require additional sachets or 2 -3 trips to get you monies worth. On top of that, it would add a real dimension if you had to forego a weapon to carry another one.

 

I know there's a lot of mods out there creating 100x carry weights and this would not be for them! this is the opposite end of the spectrum and would add some real depth imo.

 

 

 

Anything out there like this already?

I agree. I found it rather annoying that I could carry 300 lbs right off the bat. It would be lovely to start with, say, 100, and work it's way up the same as it does in basegame?

First, the weights in Skyrim aren't in pounds. They're actually some kind of gram, like kilograms, though I don't think anyone except Bethesda knows the exact unit, as their weights have never been accurate enough to actually make predictions about the units. I'm not trying to bash Bethesda, btw.

 

Secondly, I agree with this request. Even if you could theoretically carry 300 units of weight, you still wouldn't have room to carry four great swords and ten cheese wheels.

[DeSetuede]

Glad a couple agree... thought there would be more want for this type of thing.

 

 

Is no one else interested in a mod that creates weapons slots and max carrying capacities?

Maybe have a mod that actually shows the items that you are carrying taking up room in a back pack. There would be a place for a mug, KFS, plates, a waeapon could be carried strapped to it, maybe the pack could carry 80 size units inside it (an apple would be one size unit). Everything would take up space like it does on shelves. Maybe it could be scripted to act like a shelving unit and look like a backpack that you can pick up and carry.

Yeah so something like a merge with Armed to the Teeth.

 

It would prevent you from going over

 

1 set of armour and the weapons above because you'd simply be wearing them all!!
