Critical Encumbrance Failure	comment	A video game trope, similar to The Last Straw, where you can carry hundreds of kilos of equipment until you pick up one thing that puts you over the limit, either slowing you down immensely or stopping you completely. The reasoning behind this is that if a nearly-full bag slowed you down accordingly, the slower speed wouldn't change gameplay much, but would annoy the player to no end, especially where Space Filling Paths are involved. The weight-related version of Critical Existence Failure. May be a form of Anti-Hoarding to encourage you actually using up the stuff you collect.

Critical Encumbrance Failure / int_4de1a4f7	type	Improvised Weapon
Critical Encumbrance Failure / int_4de1a4f7	comment	A purse or backpack only needs an additional 300g (10oz) to go from safe to carry to being heavy enough that it'll cause fairly severe back and shoulder pain after a short amount of time, not to mention being as good as a cinder brick on a chain in a bargain brawl.

Critical Encumbrance Failure / int_9b9435d0	type	AntiFrustrationFeature
Critical Encumbrance Failure / int_9b9435d0	comment	As some kind of twisted Anti-Frustration Feature, Key Items (items, starting with Oblivion and present in Skyrim, that are associated with a quest and cannot be dropped normally) are considered weightless. Yes, even that giant ceremonial Orc warhammer. However, once the associated quest is complete, the items will suddenly have an appropriate weight. (Including said giant ceremonial Orc warhammer, which can be one hell of a last straw.)

Critical Encumbrance Failure / int_b21ed2d2	type	Experience Points
Critical Encumbrance Failure / int_b21ed2d2	comment	Interestingly, detailed encumbrance management seems to have been a deliberate part of the D&D experience in the game's earliest days, when the focus was less on high-action fantasy adventure and more on, well, "dungeon heists" with the intent of coming out with the most valuable and portable treasure while avoiding fights, traps and other dangers as best possible. This is also at the root of the "experience points for gold" paradigm found in early editions.

Critical Encumbrance Failure / int_c145f69b	type	Subverted Trope
Critical Encumbrance Failure / int_c145f69b	comment	Subverted during Chapter 5 of Super Paper Mario X, when the teams are trying to press a red button to go onward. Their combined weight isn't enough to do the job, but this turns into success when all they needed was the weight of a Cragnon.
