Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems [BUG] Backpack can't be moved with 16 weight+

Did a quick search but couldn't find this bug reported (although it's annoying enough I'd be surprised if lots of people didn't notice).

I'm having an issue where any "container" becomes "stuck" in my character's inventory once I cross the threshold of 15 weight items (15 is fine, 16 is stuck). By "stuck" I mean the pack cannot be moved into any other position in the current character's inventory or moved to another character's inventory. The pack can be opened, and items can be removed.

I've been testing and it doesn't seem like item type, specific item, or stack size influence the bug. Every combination I've tried, once I cross the 15 weight threshold, the container is stuck. Backpacks and pouches both have the same issue (only 2 containers I have). Overall, encumbrance doesn't matter either. I can move a 15 weight pack into a character's inventory that goes above their weight allowance, but I can't move a 16 weight pack into someone with plenty of weight to spare.

What is the Stength of the character you are using? I know for some reason Larian added weight limits to armour so my Strength 8 character didn't pick up any as I went through the early game clicking Collect All on bodies. Patch 4 fixed you being able to move items in inventory that you couldn't move in the open world (you could get Lae'zel to pick up heavy items and then move them to anyone in the inventory screen).

I think 8 Strength can move items up to 15lbs, 10 Strength can move up to 20lbs, 12 Strength can move up to 25lbs etc. These weight limits seem to apply regardless of encumbrance which makes literally no sense; you can pick up 4 items that weight 15lbs each but the one that weighs 16lbs is a no-go...

I imagine it's coded that way because they didn't want elves with 8 Strength throwing barrels around the battlefield; but rather than code the "Throw" action to specifically recognize the limits, it was easier to just prevent all actions from working across the board and this odd behaviour is an unforseen contraindication.
