Starfield and Baldur's Gate 3 both weigh the player down with encumbrance. Love it or hate it, it seems like it's here to stay.

I love how in Starfield your encumbrance and movement are aided or harmed by planetary gravity.

On a low gravity world I have had over 800/200 and run along with no issues. While on a planet with 1.6 or higher and you really can't ignore the slowdown. You just can't fast travel, but you don't stop like in Skyrim, so I think that's a positive step in the right direction.

That's not even realistic. I know that Starfield isn't meant to be a simulator, but if you put in something to try and be "real", you should do it right. Gravity would affect the weight of something, but the inertia is still the same. Moving and stopping a big object in space with no gravity at all is still hard to do.

Cool! I haven't played yet, I like how that sounds
