If i remember well, Kingmaker has a toggle now to turn off weight limitation, they kept the weight rule but added this toggle to satisfy both camps of people. usually things like weight, ammo and durability divides people - so does the somewhat related crafting. if these are implemented, they have to be careful these can be skipped by people who doesnt care about them or get frustrated by them even. I personally like these because with a 100+ hours game i like if the game gives me more complex systems to learn and master outside of combat (i think RPGs are not just combat simulators) also these can provide ground to some interesting utility spells and actions to repair, create resources (and i think Larian could shine with this with their engine), but i understand thats not everybody's cake.
