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.

Yeah, encumbrance can be overcame but the durability thing is annoying. Especially when you can’t repair the gear.

BOTW/TOTK Zelda games are the only ones that get it right. It’s a core game mechanic and they give you enough weapons to have fun with it.

Eh. Can't say I had fun watching my higher end weapon break on the stronger, bullet sponge enemies later on, and replacing it with a crappy short swords that do barely any damage. ToTK though was certainly better thanks to fusion.

It was ok early game, but later it got super annoying for me. I played it on PC so I used a program that edited the durability for the items and made them and impossible value.
