I dont understand how is this still such a big issue in 2023. Years ago even Pathfinder Kingmaker figured out a better way of doing it (shared party inventory and combined total weight with gradual penalties), why is nobody just copying or improving on that? Or just remove the limitation whatsoever if the game is not about it, like would the CRPG experience really be diminished if we didn’t have to worry about constant looting and inventory management?
Even the RL DMs know better than to pester their players about it, just keep it within some reasonable common sense limits.
I would much rather have an auto-loot mechanic, like hire an NPC to loot for you and only bring the stuff you care about. That way it still feels realistic, but you don’t actually need to deal with loot all that much and you get most of the benefit. So you’ll just grab the stuff you think is useful, then the rest gets sold eventually.
