Yet another discussion topic brought to the fore while playing Wrath of the Righteous.
I came across this quote while reading various comments about the game from various people:
"For both games I recommend mods to have your characters move faster outside of combat and encumbrance removal. There is no fun to be had there, it's just your time being wasted in an already very long game".
Which fascinated me.
Encumbrance is a key feature in Wrath, they make a very big deal of it, it's integral to the resting system and is tailored in such a way as to govern your loot selection. Removing it removes a key mechanical element of the game.
Of all the ways Wrath wastes your time, this isn't one of them.
For just one example: Is there a mod to remove the "tell me about yourself" dialogue options and strip down dialogues to solely 'need to know' information? This strikes me as a much more useful way to reduce the game's time wasting and removal of genuinely unfun content.
But, once again, maybe I live in a world that both doesn't exist and never did exist? Or, if it does exist, it exists in mathematically small numbers.
Why is there even a mod to remove encumbrance in existence? It's a cRPG you fool, why are you playing them if you don't like encumbrance?
Anyway, let's see what you all think, eh?
You enjoy the concept of encumbrance? Or you find it a time waste hassle?
