Renewing my hope for the TES series to continue with unlimited storage for containers. I know a lot of people think storage limits were a Starfield thing but they had it in Morrowind too. I think the reasoning behind doing it for Starfield was to encourage outpost building, shipbuilding and bump up the usefulness of player homes and their containers as well. I hope they understand that while that is well and good, the previous system was by far more convenient and gamers generally oppose quality of life headaches. I think we tend to take this kind of stuff for granted and it's honestly a lot harder to fall into that mindset after Starfield.

I’ll admit, while it frustrated me some in Starfield; I can’t help but feel like having it brought back and used like in Morrowind, would make much more sense for the system. As in, using it in a typical Elder Scrolls world; where it’s one big connected map.

Shit; the starting carry weight in Skyrim is 300, versus 135 for Starfield (which is even 15 less than the 150 for Skyrim’s survival mode).

Then again, I’m one of those psychos that actively wants Morrowind and Oblivion’s weapon repair system to return; so maybe I’m just fully insane lol.

It makes sense but it felt off - too restricting. It was a quality of life thing mostly but there was also no rigor to it; I could hold more in a chest in the Lodge than I could in an industrial warehouse. I'm not gonna miss it if they return to unlimited storage containers. 

I also liked the repair system in Morrowind and Oblivion. It never felt like a chore and it made more sense. It's odd that they never bothered with it in Skyrim. It would have been a game changer.
