Inventory
Your inventory is vitally important and holds all of your equipment and supplies. You must ensure you always have an adequate amount of food in your inventory to feed your party. If you run out of food they will get annoyed and may leave the party.
On the inventory screen you can also equip yourself with weapons, defensive items and clothing and a horse. There are specific slots for each item. Your weapons slots are limited to four. In battle you will be equipped by default with whatever is in the top slot, although you can change to another weapon with the mouse wheel. A chest will also appear on the battlefield next to your starting point and if you access it you can swap in other items from your full inventory.
You can sell and buy items at the markets in the towns. You can also buy food from villages. The amount of weight you carry will affect your speed. There is a range of information available on every item in your inventory which you can review by selecting it with left mouse. You can also increase the size of your inventory with the Inventory Management skill.
