Why am I trolling the forum, just because I am with this game since the EA started.
The first sentence is about RPG in general and the second sentence is obviously about D:OS2 at it current state with armor system and all this stuff in placing.
Why should I deny, that weight limit is defined by STR? It was like this in the first game and it is now. Nothing changed there. If you like it or not, is in the end more a subjective choice not an objective. Regarding Roleplay it is logical, regarding gameplay it is probably bothersome, depending on what you want to play. Though you are the first, who mentions it. Probably because crafting is pretty much shite for the most part and also warriors are one of the strongest 'classes'.
That with the seller was a suggestion, because I thought you were overburdened because of loot, that is all.
