Choosing to increase Stamina when leveling up increases your maximum Carry Weight by five points. It is the equivalent of the Encumbrance attribute in Oblivion.All characters start with a Carry Weight of 300. Carry Weight is the maximum weight of all weapons, armor, and other items that you can carry. The character's carry weight will increase-or decrease-based on the input for the new Strength total. Press 'Enter' to make the changes and ' to close the console. Type 'tav Strength' followed by a new number for the character's total Strength score. Some random console command from Elder Scrolls Oblivion. This is great to bring back armor to town and sell it for quick profit.The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995 You can also store loot (armor from dead bandits etc.) with your horse. If you want to bring a lot of arrows or different armor sets on a quest, simply store it with the horse and then swap it back to your inventory when needed! This is also great to reduce your inventory weight. You can then swap it back from the horse to your own inventory at any time. Simply press (PS4) / (XB1) on the inventory item you want to send to your horse. If you buy a better saddle with saddle bags (at horse vendors), you can increase this limit. Your horse can carry 150+ pounds with a normal saddle. Only then you can transfer items from inventory to horse. You can also store your inventory items with your horse. You get your own horse automatically after main quest “ The Prey“.

A big step up from the 60-something you start with! Saddlebags

This way you can carry 97 pounds quite early in the game. And then buy the Mule I sub-skill for another +15. From strength 2 to 4 you get roughly +20 inventory limit increase just from the level-ups. In the early game your best bet is to get to 4 strength quickly by fighting a lot with melee weapons. There’s also a Mule II skill that gives +20 pounds (strength level 8) and Mule III that gives +24 pounds (strength level 12). Unlocking the strength skill “Mule” gives another +15 pounds weight increase for your inventory! You can buy this in the strength skill tree after reaching 4 strength. You can check this in the pause menu > player > strength. Every time you fight/defeat enemies in melee combat you get a little bit of XP towards this stat.
