    In BG3 encumberance is absolutely needed to balance the game. Heavy Objects are still the best way to cheese combat and that is with you being limited in how many you can carry. Building a Character in a way to work around this is absolutely possible and a valid choice for a character build. It is definitely not a meaningless aspect of your character.

      That’s true. I forgot about Barrelmancy since I had a team of low STR characters and didn’t really abuse that facet but you’re absolutely right.
