You should be OK! But I don't think you'll be able to pick anything else up until you make some room by dropping items or transferring more to wagon. It would have been great for shops to be in alongside encumbrance, but there's always more loot if you have to let some go. :)
Yeah, you'll be able to move just not pick anything else up. TBH with 750kg capacity on the cart you should be okay assuming you've not spent ages taking anything that's not nailed down! :-)

I plan to add the ability to sell things soon, not full shops quite yet but at least you can sell ya loot.

And what a follow-through:

In dot-dot sane. Selling alone will be a huge progress point, even if the prices aren't accurate yet. 0.6 is coming on fast! :D

I know it's not in classic Daggerfall, but can the main quest be made optional by default? Maybe keep that pop-up asking if you want to start the main quest?

I imagine I'm far from the only one who doesn't play Daggerfall for the main quest. ;)

If it's anything like what we're doing now, you could just delete or dummy out the main quest. It's probably something I'll be modding in.

That could actually be really sweet if you could choose Story or Sandbox mode when starting a new game. If you chose Story, you'd get the usual intro with the Emperor and wake up in Privateer's Hold, but if you were to choose Sandbox, you'd be able to pick a starting place, background, etc.

Would be great for role-playing purposes. And I am sure that sooner or later modders' quests will be even more epic and interesting than the default Main Quest, even though I think the original one is pretty good as well.

If possible, I'd really want an "alternate start" mod like exist in TES3-5. The gist is that you get to choose from several different options about where you start and what you're wearing at the beginning of the game;

1. In a Mages Guild in Abibon-Gora
2. In a graveyard in Alcaire
3. At a witch coven in Myrkwasa
4. Hiding in the mountains of Wrothgaria
5. In the court of Castle Daggerfall
6. Among the patrons of Sentinel Palace
7. Speaking with Prince Helseth at Wayrest
8. In a Fighters Guild in Dwynnen
9. At a dungeon in Orsinium
10. In a knightly order, etc.

Needless to say, starting as a vampire or a werewolf must be necessary options too :D

I think, for a simple enough enhancement, in sandbox you'd just click on a dot on the map to start at. Everywhere but the dungeons, you'd be placed at the main gates/at the edge of the local map. In dungeons, you'd be placed at a spawn point in the same block as the exit.

The Story/Sandbox menu option could then be a jumping-off point for mods - You'd replace that menu with your own, and go through whatever options you wanted for your mod.

This would keep it something that would integrate with the base game, while not being on the level of a full mod.
