See, the problem is—at least with some games, BG3 being the most recent example for me—that there are relatively few clear upgrades. Most of the time it's a judgment call, and you're trading one ability for another that you think will be useful more often. In those situations, I usually feel like I should hold onto the old gear, in case I end up wanting it again. So I end up carting around a fair bit of stuff, especially since I feel compelled to open every damn container in the game.

This. I'm always overencumbered because I too legit have to explore everything and look at everything. I may have like 200 hours in a game and been like 40% of the places because I'm too busy finding places to store junk.
