Bag

A bag is a very primitive but useful method of transporting numerous objects. Just put an item into it and then carry the bag around or fasten it at the belt. Note however, that a big number of items are better transported in a backpack.

Bags first appeared in Ultima VI, and were also available without any difference in Ultima Underworld, Ultima VII, Ultima Underworld II and Ultima VII Part Two. In Ultima VIII, bags played a huge role in Necromancy. In this school of magic, the ragents had to be put into a bag and then treated with the Key of the Caretaker in order to ceate spells. Finally in Ultima IX, bags were very important to enlarge the limited inventory space, and only very few were found during the journey.

Trivia

 * Bags actually are an excellent way to keep the inventory organised, especially in the later installments.
