Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Carrying weight

There's something I'm not understanding about the carrying weight in this game. My current weight looks like this on my character:
2100/2700

Now what I don't understand is that I am encumbered even though I have yet to reach my capacity of 2700. Someone please elaborate!

The maximum weight capacity is the most weight your character can hold (20 weight capacity per strength point). The point where you become encumbered is about 75% of the maximum, IIRC, and is the most weight you can carry and still be able to run and move around freely.

Ok that makes sense... I thought it was a bug or something because there were a few occaisions where if I reload the game I would be un-encumbered which I thought was weird.

Were you removing stuff from a container before reloading to become unencumbered? There is a bug where the weight you are carrying may not be updated when removing or putting things into a container that is in your inventory. Changing equipment, moving something in your inventory, etc or reloading the game will trigger a weight calculation update.
