Once when I was leaving an area, it said I couldn't leave unless I dropped some loot!
Sounds very much like Kingmaker. I think I wouldn't mind world map that much in that game, if locations and quests were more meaty. It was a lot of loadscreens and slogging back and forth on the world map in that game.
It was @Icelyn who said this, though I largely concur. smile

Give everyone an animal companion and the weight frustrations go away. I give Seelah a level of beast rider right away.

Building teleportation circles reduces frustrations about map travel
Yes! Animal companions have very high strength, and do count towards the party for carrying capacity.

It's one of the best games I've ever played, cannot reccomend it enough.
Right on!! smile
