inventory/pack view

[tripl_b 9]

For some reason on the inventory screen the slots for my pack dont show after i open it and sometimes they do. When i open my pack i can always see whats in it on the left column of the items list but it always reads 0/16 items when its full. Any ideas why this is happening?

Thats 0/16 spaces left....

Like Maca said. Say you have a backpack with 8 slots, you put a can of coke in it. It will go from 8/8 to 7/8.

I misinterpreted this at first as well.

But why does it show the inside of the pack sometimes and other times it won't?

If you are at an active "new stuff source", like, in front of a car, or tent, or staring at a pile o' junk on the floor, then hit G, THEN open your backpack, you will see the visual representation of the backpack, its items, and its available slots.

If you are NOT at an active "new stuff pile", like say you are just running through the woods and decide to check inside your pack to see if you have a spare can of MelloYello, then you don't get to see the visual. You only get the list view.

Another non-intuitive pain in the nads, but if they change it now I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

if you are moving from 1 pack to another, your items are blended together on the left
