Think about this for a moment - why can't the herbs simply stack?
Why does the grenade occupy less slot than a packet of herb?
The clutter is just too much. They should really forego the 'realistic inventory space management' bullcrap and went with the 'quality of life' for the user by simply stacking the same shit.
Inventory tetris isn't a great minigame.

But how does that make it bad? It's just choices they made.

And there's no inventory tetris in Arcanum, because it has a button that auto-sorts it for you to give you maximum contiguous free space (horizontal, or vertical if clicked twice).

There's nothing in the game that requires a mountain of healing salves anyway.

Quality of life.
Why annoy the gamer?
Spending 5 minutes looking for one piece of single tile item in a sea of green, red herbs and molotov cocktails isn't a good feature.
If it's a choice that Troika makes, then it's a bad one.

Yup. The inventory is really one of Arcanum's low points. It's rage-inducingly bad. And I like the game.

No it's not. I finished the game with a solo technologist and the inventory was fine.

It's whatever the highest preset is, full enhanced dynamic lightning DX10.1 or whatever it's called. I am not on Windows at the moment, but I'll check when I am.

brbr?
The Last Remnant? Damn, /v/ keeps saying it's the Dwarf Fortress of jRPGs but I can't find a proper torrent.
What's that even supposed to mean? :lol: Complexity?
I guess. Stuff like formations, leaders, weapon arts, mistic arts, arcana, weapon fusing, enemy chaining, flanking enemies, dead/raidlock them, interrupting thier advancement, anti-grinding system. And you need to read the whole fucking wiki because the game doesn't explain shit.

It's incredibly complex if you approach it from the perspective of trying to mathemetize, dissect, and subsequently game, the system. "Perfect" or "ideal" outcomes require more 'sperg than porting Pokemon to 2e. However, the complexity is designed such that it is INCREDIBLY reactive and intuitive, so (with a few exceptions) the invoked states mostly reflect things that naturally happen when you do the things that naturally cause them.
