Is it possible to see the weight another character is carrying? I've only heard it talked about in the game once.

You can't see it, but you can do some in game tests to find out how much they're holding...

By handing the character successively less amounts of something?

That works, if you're just trying to give them something... or you can ask and wait for an answer...

If your character is rather naive

"Weight test" usually refers to the procedure of testing whether a character (a suspected thief, usually) has dropped everything in his or her inventory by handing them 15000 grams of something.

Ahh. That explanation fits in the context of which I heard it, also. Thank you.

*he smiles deviously* Which, when done in the right circumstances, can actually be faked... :)

Figure it out in the game, thats the sort of stuff that could cause a lot of trouble with newer players if it became to well know.

That aside, I haven't ever been weight tested, nor have I given one. So I couldn't tell you how to cheat it from either end, even if I knew.
