Q&A
Q: Do I need MWSE?
A: Nope. But having it is extra nice: you can wear a backpack AND pauldrons
Q: Do I need Frostwind / Bare Necessities / Necessities of Morrowind / Water&Thirst + Cooking&Eating?
A: No, select the none option when you first equip your backpack. You will be given a packback with 60 points of feather.
Q: How do I set up camp using my backpack?
A: Drop it on the floor to open it. You will receive your camping gear. When you are ready to leave again, activate your backpack again to put your camping gear back inside. Your backpack is re-equipped automatically.
Q: Why does my companion's backpack has such AR?
A: the backpack is actually a piece of armour and most companions will elect to not equip it as it doesn't improve their AC.
