In real life, MeinMMO editor Jasmin keeps things organized. But when you look at her inventories in video games, pure chaos breaks out. That’s why a feature in games is essential for her.
Recently, I decided to catch up on The Outer Worlds 2, which originally came out in October 2025. It will probably take some time until we see a new main installment of Fallout. So I was looking forward to this current sci-fi spin-off, as the humor and gameplay have many parallels with Fallout.
In such exciting worlds, where there’s a lot of loot lying around, I can’t help but constantly press the pickup button. Sometimes I don’t even know what I have picked up, as my loot-finger is quicker than my eyes, which first need to read the item name.
And unfortunately, Outer Worlds 2 helps me live out my inner loot goblin. Luckily, my mother is not a gamer because if she saw my inventory, she would be shocked.
Unlimited inventory space is exactly what I need
Outer Worlds 2 has unlimited inventory slots. This way, you can pick up all sorts of items lying around without fearing any consequences. In other games like The Elder Scrolls, your carrying capacity is limited. If you pick up items that weigh more than the maximum capacity, you can only move at a snail’s pace.
I’ve often had it in such games that I’ve dragged all my loot to the next fast travel point because I simply didn’t want to part with a single collected object. Because hey, that silver fork could ultimately provide the money I need for a particularly strong armor!
With such problems, I didn’t have to deal in The Outer Worlds 2. Here I could collect all sorts of things that came into my loot goblin fingers. If someone were to look into my inventory, I would be very embarrassed. Not only in front of my mother (since I rarely use the sort function in inventories), but I would also feel ashamed in front of other gamers.
With the infinite inventory, it also means that you collect all sorts of junk. Many games already help you keep things somewhat organized, for example through the aforementioned sorting function or junk that you can mark and later sell with just one button press.
With a lot of loot, I find it justified not to limit inventory slots. This way, you don’t have to part with already collected objects. In Diablo or Borderlands, I then worse case sort by rarity and throw out the equipment items in my inventory with the lowest rarity.
What do you think? Do you also need an inventory slot limitation because you can’t hold back otherwise? Or can you live well with the chaos that comes with an unlimited inventory? Or do you not care at all about such things because loot doesn’t matter to you?
MeinMMO editor Niko also recognized that Outer Worlds 2 has many parallels to Fallout. In an article, he explains why the title is a good alternative to bridge the waiting time for Fallout 5: I tried the new RPG from the makers of Fallout: New Vegas and played it like a shooter – that might have been wrong, but it was incredibly fun
