Weight limits in RPGs with an enormous amount of items in the world and long trekking between merchants make no sense.

Why? Because any adventurers worth their salt would arrange for a means of transporting loot. Such as pack animals (mules, horses etc.), wains (carts, wagons), hell even porters. Real life treasure hunting/exploration expeditions were always built around transportation. And if adventurers did not have enough funding by themselves, they were sponsored by merchants.

So, "realistically", once you have enough money to rent a mule, or enough reputation to secure funding from a merchant, any kind of weight limit for loot would stop making sense.

Of course, games generally do not concern themselves with such "trivial" matters (even those few that feature mounts), because, guess what... game developers are NOT interested in making players' lives easier, they want to LENGTHEN gameplay, including by arbitrary "inventory management" tedium.

So, being an avid RPG fan, I have NO qualms about using weight mods.

For those who "don't want to cheat" I have some crazy lifehack!

Don't pick up all the shits! - Scandalous, I know, right? - I, too, was completely shook by how simple this sounds, but trust me; try it! It's just like having a 200+ IQ or something!
