I like your idea on the restrictions on the slots, so certain combinations will not be possible depending on the sheating position. So when you are carrying a large bag with javelins, you can't also have a 2h-er on your back.Jason L. said:Carrying 5 apples can't be the same as carrying 5 cucumbers. I don't know why someone can think otherwise...It is more realistic to put a restriction on how many 2 handed weapons one can carry than to consider that a dagger takes the same space as a two handed weapon.... My suggestions :
A) 1) One two handed weapon or polearm and only
2)One regular sword or one handed axe or mace.
3) One bow or crossbow with ammunition
4)One shield
5)One short sword or Dagger or knife .
It is the standard arms recommended for the Byzantine soldier of both infantry or cavalry by Emperor Leo 6th the Wise in his "Stratigikon"
B) Alternative: Give 5 slots and make two handed weapon occupy two of them.....
Edit:
C) Make available two inventories , one for small objects and one for bigger ones with four slots either one.
I'd like to see this combined with unsheatable weapons like cRPG has. For example lances or large pikes. You will start equipped with them but when you change weapon, you drop it on the ground instead of sheating it.
And I'd also like to see two slots on horses for some weapons and shields. So no slot for a lance, but for some extra arrow, a mace or a shield etc.
