  • Description
  • ----------------------------
  • This mod adds several backpacks to the game, increasing the size of the inventory. There are 2 different versions of this mod:
  • 1) Merchant backpacks
  • The size limit of the inventory ingame is of 120 slots, but there is not enough backpacks in the game to reach that size. At most, you can buy 5, thus reaching 100 slots. This mod adds 2 more backpacks to the game, so that you can reach the actual limit of the inventory in the game, 120 slots.
  • This mod adds a backpack in act2, and another in act3, to the Tailor merchant in Lowtown. This makes things balanced compared to his counterpart in Hightown, and make sense considering that it is an apparel shop. The rest of backpacks remain the same as the original game.
  • 2) Refugee backpacks
  • Sometimes you just don´t want to bother checking the merchants for backpacks, or using the console to add backpacks is slow and you sometimes forget. This is a \"cheat\" mod, but it is great for people who don´t want to bother with the inventory or want to finish the game quickly.
  • This mod adds 7 backpacks to the contents of the dead refugee that you find the prologue, therefore reaching inmmediately the 120 limit. The refugee you want to loot is the one you find just after meeting aveline, which also contains a mana and stamina potions.
  • NOTE: To see the effects of this mod, you must visit the area for the first time. If you already visited Lowtown before in that act, the contents of the merchant will not update. You have to install this mod and load from a save before you visited the area, or start a new game.
