Remove Item Burden
Item Burden is a mechanic by which the player is limited in the number of items and unused equipment they can carry at any one time. While certainly realistic, it is an annoying mechanic that thankfully later games in the series have removed entirely.
The message in the image above is one Demons Souls veterans will know all too well. Having to ditch the hard-earned loot you have gathered to make room for something new is a tough pill to swallow, especially when it might mean the difference between life and death in the next boss encounter.
Whereas Equipment Burden means players have to think about how the armor they have equipped will affect their movement speed, Item Burden just results in more busywork. It’s a system that could be done away with entirely, and there would be few who would miss it.
