+78 – Jump – useless past 40, means there is no need to spend any skill points on jump if you can get to just 80 Strength

Carry Capacity

With a strength of 162 the carry capacity is 1.232.118.743.040  Lbs, this insane number is hard to even imagine, but to give an image of comparison, with such strength one could carry more then  10 times the weight of all people in Europe, which weigh 115.896.757.200 Lbs
