Baldur’s Gate 3: How To Fix The Encumbrance Glitch In BG3
A frustrating glitch in Baldur’s Gate 3 forces characters to be permanently encumbered, preventing them from running on the overworld. Luckily, there’s an easy fix for it, and how you resolve the problem might seem counter-intuitive, but you should have no problem getting rid of the encumbrance glitch.
Dungeons & Dragons technically has encumbrance rules, but most groups don’t use it because keeping track of item weight and carrying capacity just isn’t fun. Baldur’s Gate 3 isn’t so forgiving, as each character has strict carrying limits determined by their Strength stat. Once you carry too much, your character will receive the “Encumbered” debuff, severely slowing down their movement.
