Player's holdall
From IFWiki
A player's holdall is a container object, traditionally a rucksack, intended to be carried by the PC and used to store other items found over the course of play.
[edit]
Uses
- The holdall may be used as a work-around for an inventory limit; more polite games may automatically move items to the holdall when inventory overflows.
- Even in games without an inventory limit, a holdall can be used to rationalise how a PC can carry a large number of items without impediment. Whether this rationalisation is necessary is another matter.
- A holdall can be a management system to organise inventory in a more useful way; for instance, some games organise all keys found onto a keyring, which then lists all keys carried in a single inventory section and works in any situation where one of its keys would work.
