Thread: Why not a med-bag

I am disturbed by the fact that i have to carry around stims and several kinds of wound packs, i cant go light on a big time mission party or i will run out at the wrong time and crafting on the go sucks imo. I got a pack and placed all my stims in there, low and behold, i cant heal with them in a pack.



I've been giving this some thought, because it really bothers me that i'm limited on space and instead of focusing on my job of healing, i'm constantly haveing to double check to see if i need to move a stimpack or two into my general inventory.



I think healing types should get a medpack that allows them to store their medicines in them and would allow them to heal out of them. Really this isnt so far fetched, medics and doctorsin real life carry med pack, yes the do open them to treat, but they dont deal with lag either.



Sometimes i feel like my mom digging in the bottom of her purse to find her tube of chapstick as i'm trying to find my next stack of stims during a major conflict.

I'll have to check this again , but you can heal from a pack, AFAIK. You just need to have the inventory screen of the bag open and doubl-click the med (or use the meds radial menu) to us it from there. The other methods (like the players radial menu) only look in the top level inventory.

I'll have to check this, but I'm pretty sure that you can heal from a pack. UYou just have to have the pack open and use the med directly from there. Other options, like the macros or radial menus on players, will only look in top-level inventory.

I have no problems healing from my backpack. On my number 4 toolbar I load a stim from my backpack into each one. That gives me between 80-88 heals before i have to refill them. I use an intellimouse explorer with 5 buttons and have 2 of them set to the "toolbar next" and "toolbar previous" commands then i can flip back and forth among bars with relative ease. I also get more screen available as I can keep it set to one toolbar showing...


Hope this helps,

No I completely agree, you should be able to heal out of any container in your inventory, on that note it would also be great to be able to craft from any container. A Medic Bag/Satchel is a great idea though with a nice big Red Cross on it would be really kewl.
