The Starfield vs. Baldur's Gate 3 Debate: Decoding RPG Excellence

The release of Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield has reignited the age-old debate about encumbrance in role-playing games. Both games employ a system that restricts how much players can carry, leading to frustration among some players. While encumbrance adds a sense of realism and resource management to the virtual world, it also poses logistical challenges for game developers. Despite complaints, Bethesda and Larian Studios have chosen to stick with encumbrance in their respective games. As long as developers continue to use encumbrance, players will have to deal with the limitations it imposes.
