It seems you only need it for the Fantasy quests, but you can cope perfectly well with carrying larger items in other games (although in a few of them, I found myself desperately lacking my sack!).

Or perhaps it helps the camera trees keep an eye on what you're carrying, to better deliver the required items when you need them. Or maybe there is a very simple, but incredibly dull explanation. We'll probably never know...

With only a few exceptions, in adventure game shops, there is no food at all. Instead, they sell hooks, ladders, planks of wood and many other inedible objects.
> While this is great for any potential people on quests, it must get a bit annoying for the people who inhabit these fantasy lands, and have no-where to buy food! Sure, if you think it will further your quest, you can give them the odd fish, but it doesn't happen very often, and what do they do when there's no-one on a quest near them? Hundreds of innocent dwarves, ogres, and wise old men must starve every year just because of a lack of a decent place to buy any food!

dont much like the exchange rate in these shops you give in a great big emerald only to get a bucket,whats all that about, a pile of gold for a ladder, i dont think so...think the least I should expect is some change, or a receipt so i can exchange the heap of junk,and all i can say about the food is they must live on carrots,onions and beef jerky.they are ever likely not friendly probably hoping to snack on us as a treat.
