The spell effect provided by the Steed Stone also adds 100 points to your total, as well as completely negating the weight of any equipped armor. This number can be increased by 100 through the Extra Pockets perk in the Pickpocket tree. Your current Carry Weight is displayed in the bottom right of the inventory screen. You will also be unable to fast travel while overencumbered unless on a horse. If you try to carry a combined weight that is greater than your Carry Weight, you will not be able to run or sprint instead, your movement speed will be substantially decreased to an almost unbearably slow crawl. Choosing to increase Stamina when leveling up increases your maximum Carry Weight by five points. All characters start with a Carry Weight of 200. It is the equivalent of the Encumbrance attribute in Oblivion. Carry Weight is the maximum weight of all weapons, armor, and other items that you can carry.
