Daggerfall Workshop Forums

I began a new character with 300 arrows in inventory weighing 75 kilos or so, but dropping them or picking them makes no difference to my encumberance. Is this a bug or was original DF like this?

Original Daggerfall is like that too, it displays a weight of 250g per arrow, but they have no effective weight.

I noticed some differences though, classic Daggerfall checks that you could carry that weight before allowing to pick up the arrows (even if, again, they have no impact on encumbrance once picked up). Also, you can't carry more than 199 arrows (at least when you buy them, I have yet to check other ways to acquire arrows - looting, being shot...- to check if that limit is enforced in all cases). Arrows above 199 are just lost.

Their are a couple of problems I see. First the weight for the arrow is a bit over 3 and a half times too high the other is that the limit on how many you could carry at a time is about twice too high. I don't have a problem with you carrying however many you like in the cart but the number you have in your quiver should be limited.

It would be cool to see a mod that addreses this.
