Occaisionally my weight gauge would jump to 100% for no particular reason... even if what I picked up weighed nothing.
I can only suspect that aswel as being a maximum weight capacity a character can hold - there is also an upper limit to the number of seperate physical items (stacks of pots counting as one item) that we can carry.
Can anyone confirm this?

The belief is that once you are holding 100 different types/stacks of items, your weight gauge jumps to 100% to stop you from picking up or obtaining any more.

Hello,
Thank you for your patience in this matter. After investigating this matter, we have been informed that there is a carrying capacity which is related to the number of items in your inventory. Once a character has 180 items in their inventory, their weight gauge will read 100% encumbrance no matter what the item is. However, a stack of the same item, such as 5 healing potions, will only count as 1 item towards this 180 item limit. Please contact us if you have any more questions regarding this matter.
Thank you.
