It gives me more choices too btw !
I'll be able to add armors that gives more inventory slots ! Maybe sacrifice armor to get more loot^^
Technically possible with the encumbrance system too, except I wasn't doing it. it would be less visual and feel too much like micromanaging :
"So I can carry 5... encumbrance?... more but lose 2 armor... Ok... What is 5 encumbrance? What can I actually carry with this?"
vs
"Gives me 5 inventory slots? Whoo !"
You immediately see what it will do for you

Few months ago I said I would look into Diablo-like inventory, with big items taking multiple slots. I still like the idea but it's really a lot of work, too much to rewrite and I'm not sure this is a better system in the end. This one seems like a nice middle-ground and I think I'll stick to it with this game :) Also, sorry to the person that once said to me "great, I don't like slot based inventories" when I announced the encumbrance system. If you read this, sorry for the backstab :$
