I'm not really sure why, but that's how my gaming mind works with TES titles. Then again, I don't use mods that do cheap things, so it could be why. I tend to prefer the eventual overhaul mods over ones that just make things easier. My best friend had no qualms with modifying his inventory capacity in Oblivion, but it just felt cheap to me -- I couldn't do it.

Also, I think there's a masochistic part of me that likes having to decide what to loot and what to leave behind. Last night, for instance, my quests involved raiding two ships, then following a double-crosser to his hideout cave. By the time I reached the end of the cave, I was having to dump my excess loot. So, goodbye Fur and Studded Armor... Anything that weighed too much for its value got tossed. The 19 sets of Leather Armor sold fairly well, as far as efficiency went... Even with my +30 weight Boots of Hauling, I still had to use one of my Strength potions to get back to town.
