Forum:Overencumberment

I have always had some problems with overencumberment but i always thought that all i needed to do was level up and raise my strength level, but then i saw some youtube videos of the unique weapons locations and the players weight limit was around 630 while mine stays around 270. how can their strength be so high! have they just been playing for so long and this is a effect of maxing out stats, mine are not, or are they completly invested in chems to protect from overencumberment, (i despise chems due to the risk of addiction and the negative effects). are they using the console to cheat? whatever the reason i would like to know. please post if you have an idea.

they are most likely playing the game on the computer and using hacks to be able to increase their carrying capacity.Njiord 02:55, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes, there is a console command on the PC to increase carrying capacity. The most one can carry without cheating is 300, I believe. (strength of 10 and the Strong Back perk)~ HAZMAT82 04:02, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

i would like to get a good capacity without cheating and stay honest, so i wont use the codes. its good to know though that im not just a weakling.

I used the G.E.C.K. to create myself a "backpack" type item that increases the amount I can carry. Even though it's cheating, it doesn't feel that way when you see a backpack in your inventory. --MadDawg2552 20:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
