User Guide

Click the arrow buttons to increase or decrease the number of
items to move. The counter starts at one (1) item. Press the ALL but-
ton to increase the counter to total number of items in the stack.
Select CANCEL to cancel the entire move. You will also get this
menu if you drop a stack of items.
If you move COMPLETELY IDENTICAL items on to each other,
they will “stack”. Stacked items are a little more convenient. If you
have stacked items, a number will appear on the stack, showing the
number of items in the stack. In the case of ammunition, it will show
the total number of rounds in the stack, not the number of maga-
zines. When you move ammo, you move it by magazine not by indi-
vidual rounds. Get that?
The inventory action cursor allows you to perform actions on
items in your inventory. The USE action will use the item automat-
ically on you. The DROP icon will drop the item to the ground. You
will be able to pick the item up again, under 99.9% of the circum-
stances. If you leave the item around, it is possible that it will be
picked up by another character. And if you drop an item while in the
deserted wastes of the world map, you will never see it again. So
think carefully before you drop an item. Loose hands drop clams!
The inventory screen is divided into three parts: Display
Monitor, Equipped Items, and Inventory List.
The Display Monitor gives you important information about
your character, and items that you examine. As you move inventory
items around, the Display Monitor will update to show you the new
statistics of weapons, armor and other pieces of equipment. Use the
display monitor to compare two different weapons, for example, and
you will be ahead of the game!
The Equipped Items include what armor you are wearing and
what two items you have prepared as active items. A viewer shows
you with your equipped items.
The Inventory List shows the remaining items in your back-
pack. They aren’t as immediately accessible as your active items, but
this only really matters during combat.
INVENTORY DISPLAY MONITOR
When you first enter the inventory screen, or when you do an
examine on your character portrait, you will get some basic informa-
tion about you.
