Problem equipping anything
« on: February 13, 2011, 04:37:56 am »

I found a bunch of high boots, gauntlets and a large helm or 2, but don't seem to be able to equip them.

I've tried everything up to dropping everything for their slot, picking up the one I want to wear, then [r]emoving it from my backpack, but still when I try and [w]ear it it says I have nothing left to wear. Any ideas?

If a helm is 'large' it's probably human-sized and you are dwarf or elf or another small humanoid. You can't wear equipment that doesn't match your size.

Oh right, that makes sense. Still, would've thought high boots and gauntlets'd be standard?

 :) Ahh, the inventory system. Make sure you [R]emove the items you want to wear and any other gloves\boots you're wearing.
