especially with mods
For me personally it's Morrowind. I would have to make supply trips mid-dungeon crawl to sell all the stuff.
Deus Ex comes in a close second.
yeah it's diablo
Diablo 2, you want to pick everything up but you can't!
Path of Exile, Diablo 2, and System Shock 2 in roughly that order
Ultima 6
You find a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a spear, a club, a spear, a spear, 3 gold, a spear, a ring, a ruby, and a spear
System Shock or any games where you have to play inventory Tetris. It’s surprising how common that was in games for a long while.
That was why my first thought was Diablo
Diablo 2. Had so so so many mule accounts!
Deus ex
Came here to post this
Deus Ex
No man's sky. I want to love that game but I hate managing my shitty ass small inventory.
How long has it been since you've played? They did an update to the inventory that improved it a good bit. Plus if you're on PC, you can always just edit your save file to make the inventory bigger
edit my save file
pass i'll just play something good
RE4 is the first thing I think of, then the old infinity engine games
Great game: Minecraft (Inevitably end up with an inventory full of cobble at the end of each mining trip. Mods like AE2 with remotely accessed storage solutions save the day.)
Shit game: pokemon legends arceus (the inventory is too small and upgrade costs are too high, one of the many things wrong with that wretched turd of a game)
i still like how the default trash bin in minecraft is a pit of lava that you vomit ur shit into
It's efficient and cozy, what else could you ask for
Whenever you see the words "inventory management", what is the first game you think of?
ESO and Guild Wars 2.
Escape from Tarkov
Baldurs Gate 1/2, and KOTOR gets an honorable mention for worst inventory interface in history
Deus Ex, Diablo 2, World of Warcraft
Men of War Assault Squad 2 / Gates of Hell: Ostfront. It's like if Company of Heroes was a squad RPG with full inventory management/looting/vehicle capture. By the end of a campaign my infantry squads are superheroes with a mixed bag of all the best weapons from WW2.
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.
The game that has an inventory management screen for casuals and then a hardcore inventory management screen you eventually learn to master, this was my thought as well!
Guilds wars 2. Players don't call it "inventory wars" for nothing.
Kinda obscure but I thought of NEO Scavenger, a post-apocalyptic survival game where you wake up with nothing and have to scavenge around for a plastic bag before you can carry more than what will fit in your hands.
ahh, the game that taught me the meaning of the word travois
Re4
The long dark
Carry too much and you'll be a slow and easy snack for wolves and bears
Surprised nobody mentioned Terraria, especially old Terraria before they added a bunch of QoL improvements to crafting where you'd have to find which small chest holds your iron bars mixed with the million and one pieces of loot you refuse to let go of.
Diablo 3, Minecraft, or Skyrim. Early-game No Man's Sky is a runner-up.
Edit: and Valheim. Goddamned fucking Valheim, every time I go into a crypt to gather iron and max out my carry weight and have to figure out WTF I'm hauling back to my safe house with the smelter, all while dodging slimes, skeletons, and draugr.
RE4
Sweet Home NES (only because I finished a play through of a fan translation last week)
God, what a good game. I remember playing it emulated on a PSP many years ago. If you get a chance, watch the movie, it's incredibly cheesy.
Subnautica, because it has the worst inventory/crafting system I've ever played and inventory management is such a big part of the game. Most of the other games people are mentioning don't have crafting and resource collection as a central part of the game, so the effect is lessened. Gathering and synthesizing resources in Subnautica is so bad that it hinders me from replaying what is an almost perfect game otherwise.
Minecraft's inventory system is actually pretty good and seems well integrated into the game, so it isn't actually as noticeable.
Resident Evil Outbreak and it's sweet piano music
The first hour of Stardew Valley
Nethack. Though I've been playing D2R nonstop recently, Nethack came to mind firstly
Noita
Oh God Fucking Cyberpunk 2077
Neo scavenger
Diablo if it's brought up as a negative RE4 if it's as a positive
recently it'd have to be Baldur's Gate 3 since that didn't have the ability to view your companions inventory while in camp without having to invite them into your party at launch.
