You’re damn right
potatoqueen
For the first time in my life I went the route of "If I got it I'm gonna use it or sell it" and hot damn it's great (playing BG3)
lonelyrangerofthedreams
And the counter meme should say: “so you decided to sell your useless crap to free your inventory and now you just learnt how to create a dragon slayer sword out of those said crap?”
somesomebody
Then you never actually needed them, you challenged yourself to play the game without them then succeeded and they now serve as a score.
pyr0chaos
I mean I still beat the game so.
ThatTransformersDude
This is what I enjoyed about the last two zelda series, you can hoard, but if you use your items and tinker with then jfc the game really opens up to you.
theskepticinme
This just means the items weren’t necessary or provided any balance to the game whatsoever

... 48 magnum bullets in Resident Evil 3...

Most of the time the items just don't seem worth using. Sure I can use that megaelixir but how often does my full party need health and mana all at once?

yours? I dunno, but mine all the time

I'm a total scrounger. If it exists I'll find it and I'll have 99 of them. ...just in case.
PostMoThoin
My cabbages!!?
ImSynnical
99 Lae’zel’s underwears?
Phazoner
There's a Diablo-like game of a dude looking for his underwear. So it can be important, yes. It's the Deathspank saga just in case anyone is wondering, and yes, they're quite good and funny.
jellybellymelly
Those Elixers? Totally going to need them after the BBEG is down.
touchofgray8503
Ever since FFIX when I carried the gourmand's spoon all the way to the last fight, when it did 9999 damage to the final boss.
Strategicgnomer
Yeah, this really isn't the player's fault, it's bad crafting/supply organization. You really shouldn't be able to carry a house full of stuff, and you should be able to purchase needed crafting supplies. Maybe at a higher cost, but people hang onto stuff because when you have crafting, you always have to have some obscure thing to make what you want. It's dumb. Give players a place to get stuff at higher prices, or they can get their own. And give them a place to store their shit. Simple.
Macetheace50
Both Fallout and Skyrim left you Overencumbered quickly. You would have to make sacrifices. Either not pick-up the loot or make many trips back & forward to your home. Thank goodness they both used the same game codes. You could take everything then unloaded your inventory at your home and then go out and do it all over again.
brandonblk
look, if you gave them back to me if i died then i wouldnt be afraid to use them....
zerovanity59
Yes, the biggest machanical problem with souls games.
brandonblk
yeah its one of the mechanics i hate about the souls games
mccar7hy
Pocketed every downed foe in RDR2 to... not use almost all of it

Hey, you never know when 76 troll's nails could become handy.
keyblader1985
You certainly will not regret carrying 76 troll's nails
zubax
On that note any one on eos want to team up

this webcomic was glorious....
....and not possible anymore afaik.

Is this a dragons dogma reference?

If you combine those with ant larvae you get wet socks. A must have.

I know I'm fighting Sin, but what if I need that elixir later?
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Listen, game designers are all on drugs, okay? It was entirely possible that final boss would have come with a ridiculous difficulty spike. If you think shit like that doesn't happen, you've never been burned by an old school game. We're not hoarders, we're just properly paranoid.
CleverGroom
No, no...I'm a hoarder. I'm just glad I only do it digitally.
thedudeman519
Or the last boss is a cakewalk but getting to them is a fucking crucible
zxwaffen
Not even old school games. Some newer RPGs are like that especially on release where the last section or chapter is a massive balance shift.
Revyloution
BG3, level 11 now. Hundreds of scrolls. Still even have that 'Summon Quatsit' in my bag... just in case I need it
Sayagain
You can cast speak with animals at will, you have amulet of animal speaking, 13 scrolls of speak with animals. Better keep these 37 speak with animal potions just incase.
Revyloution

This says alot about how some people treat life. You cant save up to enjoy it all "someday". One of my favorite quotes goes "life is what happens when youre busy making plans for it"..think about it. ;)
nietzchebomb
Old habits and it only takes one time needing an item you missed, or I have a hoarding problem.
JAPONfan
if you horde them it means they weren't needed in the first place
Badprenup
The biggest problem regarding this for many games (especially JRPGs) is they give you/your party skills that make most items worthless. "Oh a potion that heals 100 HP? Shame my white mage is already level 4 so their basic Cure spell heals 180 and costs a measly 4 MP."

Snooj
It means the game could have been a lot easier. I cannot accept this reality, but it's true.
Rezol
Surely it means it could've been harder if anything. If you're not forced to use the good stuff then it wasn't challenging enough!
Snooj
There's a 16 level dungeon crawler I'm addicted to. You can play through quickly in about 30 minutes or get the side quests and make it take an hour. Either way, I die a lot from being uncareful and there's usually a ton of stuff in my inventory that could have helped. But no, I NEED those seven foods for later.
ilhares
*hoard.
JAPONfan
Did I stutter?
alcamar
I have no desire to revisit the places it might be later just for that item, so grab while I'm there.
dohcohv
Same, the come fly with me quest for New Vegas required sugar bombs which I had mistakenly sold. Time to never sell anything again! Also BG3 has a lot of stuff that is needed for random quests, so I use my pack mule (Karlach).
TheBigBadBonerBiter
I've got scrolls for days even after teaching Gale everything he can learn.
JAPONfan
There was a rpg with a very fine item systems where items were slowly showing at vendors (for example hp potion every week but if you didn't bought it it stayed at 1) and items you sold to one vendor would, after time, pop up at other vendors (usualy ones that specialised in particular items)

Look, what if I had used one of the Mega Elixirs on the final boss's third form and then he wound up having a fourth form? I'd be one short!
lrateyourrig
That game and RE2 fucked me up when it comes to rationing. Never trusted a game again.

Persona 3 laughs in 14 phases
thedudeman519
That is obscene

But it sure is epic and thematically consistent. One of my favorite last bosses
Metallica93
The nuke launcher(s) in 'Fallout 3'. But then it would just send bodies everywhere and I couldn't loot them, anyway :(
Lexgeddon
By the time you have a Fat Man, you have transcended loot. You are the spirit of destruction, confined to a prison of flesh and blue lycra.

The only things that are have and useless in Starfield are the dumbbells and other literal weights. Must miscellaneous weigh either a tiny amount or has a considerable value. What is most often the cause of being overweight in dungeons is extra guns and armor, which are the exact things that you want to sell when you get out of the dungeon. Just get personal atmosphere early.
CyclicalBeats
The first thing I did was mod my inventory size to 9000. I never used storage.
Hrafna55
I just dump it all in the safe at the lodge. Then you can just take the requited items to the basement when you need to craft something.
Pacuta
I hate when games don’t clearly label what is completely useless. Or worse when they say it is but it secretly isn’t.
NATA5
And fallout 4 had us use all this junk that could be turned into useful stuff. I didn’t pick up everything in starfield at first but didn’t feel as bad when I found out all that shit didn’t matter. It made me laugh that their shitty engine *still* made all that junk a nightmare tho. Walk into room stuff explodes lol
GTimgur
The one time this worked out was FF4. A character who could throw items. All those swords and things I kept? Came in CLUTCH on the FINAL BOSS. ...it has never again been useful.
Okebel
I just duplicated excalibur swords. It's really easy too. Go in battle, select an empty space in your inventory, go at the top and select and unequip your weapon. End the battle. Equip the item back. Now you got two of them. Rinse and repeat.
GTimgur
Sure but cheating like that takes all the fun out of it for me.
Okebel
You can also buy shurikens and ninja stars from the underground blacksmith. They are super expensive, but that's all that's really left to spend it on at that point anyways.
jellybellymelly
It's not cheating if the programmers left it in. Then it's just useful.
GTimgur
Yeah I guess you're right, but it's also not how they intended it to be. Whatever you call it, the latter is what I like to do most of the time. :)
DangerBaer
Edge. Make sure you find the Spoon next playthrough.
