I'm new to adventure mode, so excuse me if this is something obvious

I was under the impression that certain weapons are two handed, like for example halberds, but my human adventurer appears to be holding his halberd with one hand. Is there something I'm not getting here?

Also I'm having a problem with carrying stuff since he needs to be holding or wearing whatever he has I can't find any backpacks and he can't wear bags which would mean needing to leave a hand free to carry the bag

I think there are ongoing issues with the distinction between one- and two-handed weapons.  In previous updates, having an empty hand would cause you to switch to multigrasp with some weapons, but I never really understood how it worked.

Your bag issue is odd.  You didn't start with a backpack?

I was a little confused too, started as a human peasant and I started with a spear and a dagger, naked!

He is likely starting as a outsider, they only start with weapons, no clothes or backpacks.

Multigrasp is relative to size, weapons have a minimal user size, and a higher one to check if it has to be multigrasped, so for example you may need 30000dorfvolumes to wield the weapon, and 60000dorfvolumes to do so with only one hand without penalties.

So if your adventurer is under 60000, freeing one hand will result in multigrasping and if he is above 60000 he will keep wielding the weapon one-handed.

Yeah, I started as an outsider ^^;
