How much stuff can you carry in Skyrim?
The carry limit in Skyrim is 300 by default, but it can be increased by improving Stamina when leveling up, which adds 5 points to the carrying capacity, or by using the Steed Stone blessing, which gives an extra 100 carrying capacity and makes armor weightless. Additionally, the Extra Pockets perk on the Pickpocket tree can also increase carrying capacity, while mods can raise the base carry weight limit to as high as 5000.
Understanding Carry Weight in Skyrim
The carry weight system in Skyrim is designed to add a layer of realism to the game, limiting the amount of loot and gear that players can carry. If the player exceeds their carry weight, they become encumbered, unable to run or sprint, and cannot fast travel.
Increasing Carry Weight
Players can increase their carry weight by choosing to improve Stamina when leveling up, with each point of Stamina adding 5 points to the carrying capacity. The Steed Stone blessing is another way to increase carry weight, and mods can also be used to raise the base carry weight limit.
