If my character inventory states I can carry 80 pounds...I should feel the effect directly passing that threshold.
Yes, it's double the stated value now when you become slower. I'm fine with that, understand though why it bothers you as it deviates and is not believable
The encumbrance right now is fine, the entire system with the camp and sending items there is way too convenient. A separate barrel storage would be nice though
Is it, really?
If I could sold directly from the camp storage to any merchant it would be convenient indeed, but as it is...I find it such a chore to use that I rarely ever bother.
Guess I just use the camp differently, I only store chests, barrels and maybe some random thing i just happen to have too much in the inventory, otherwise I don't pick up that much, no alcohol as it's useless and heavy, not many weapons and generally don't worry so much about money via trading low value items. I did that till level 2-3 in my first run though and it was a chore.
You find lots of nice equipment and can steal from the zent traders without feeling all too bad about it. So money via trading lots of trash hopefully won't be required but adds flavor. Enemies drop what they carried but you don't have to pick it up.
But yeah, there is loads to pick up and there will be a send trash to camp or sell all junk buttons I hope.
