How to increase carry weight in Oblivion Remastered and avoid encumbrance (without using mods)
The Elder Scrolls 4: Ob𝓰livion R𝄹emastered encumbrance is an annoying check on how much you can carry, but there are ways to ease the pain

Forget all the Daedric horrors wandering the wilds of Cyrodiil, because the biggest enemy you're going to face is Encumbran🐎ce in Oblivion Remastered. Like many RPGs, encumbrance denotes when your inventory capacity has been maxed out – limiting your movement speed and restricting other abilities. This is particularly annoying in the earliest hours of adventuring, where your desire to pick up everything in sight is hampered by your relatively meager carry weight in Oblivion Remastered.
Thankfully, there are a few ways to increase your carry weight in Oblivion Remastered and stave off encumbrance. Better still, it's possible to do this without messing around with unsanctioned mods or console codes (although they are certainly an option for those of you playing on PC). So keep on reading to find how you can get on top of your carry weight and avoid encumbrance warnings in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered.
Oblivion Remastered: What is Encumbrance ༒and how to remove it
As I'm sure you know by now,🍸 Encumbrance represents the maximum weight that you can carry. You can find your Encumbrance status in your inventory menu, and there will also be an icon visible next to your vitals whilst you're carrying too many items.
When you are over-encumbered in Oblivion Remastered, you are unable to do t♛he following: run, sprint, jump, dod🍷ge, power attack, shield bash, or fast travel.
To remove encumbrance and perform these actions again, you'll either need to learn how to drop items in Oblivion Remastered, work out where you can 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:store items in Oblivion Remastered, or sell the items in question until you're under the carry weight limit – but remember, you'll need to find special merchants to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:sell stolen items in Oblivion. You can also find a horse, or utilize a few ⛦spells w🔯hich I'll get into in the next section.
O🌳bl⛎ivion Remastered: How to increase your carry weight
There are a few ways that you can in♏crease your carry weight and maximum Encumbrance in Oblivion Remastered. I'm going to run you through th♉ese below:
- Increase your Strength attribute
Once you've figured out how to level up in Oblivion Remastered, 𝓀you'll be faced with the challenge of investing your Virtue points into specific attributes. Strength is the only attribute that🧸 will permanently increase your carry weight, allowing you to carry more items before reaching dreaded Encumbrance.
- Fortify Strength
The Potion of Fortify Strength (or the relevant spell, learned through the Mages Guild) is an Apprentice-level Restoration item which will improve 💧your Strength attribute by (at least) five for 90 seconds. You can purchase these potions from Orag gra-Bargol in Chorrol's Great Chapel of Stendarr or craft them yourself through Alchemy. If you're investing in enchantment as a playstyle, don't forget ౠthat you can imbue these effects on your armor at an Altar of Enchanting.
- Feather:
The Potion of Feather (or the relevant spells, learned through association of the Mages Guild) is an excellent item from the Alteration school of magic. This directly decreases your Encumbrance, increasing your total carrying capacity for a limited time. Different Feather spells can be 📖stacked, with Ease Burden, Lighten Load, Pack Mule, and Beast of Burden all purchasable from Mages Guild merchants in the major cities.
- Encumbrance Console Command:
Listen, I don't recommend this, but you can use one of these 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oblivion Remastered cons🧜ole commands to artificially give yourself extra carry weight. This will disable all achievements in your playthrough, at least until you reload a save. The Encumbrance console command in Oblivion Remastered is: 'player.forceav encumbrance -X' – just rem𒉰ember to re𓄧place the X with a specific value.
If you aren't interested in learning those spells at the Mages Guild, why not learn how to join the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion Remastered instead. It won't solve your Encumbrance woes, but it is a lot of fun!
