This malicious business practice of locking out a crucial item actively encourages people to pirate the game because every pirated copy of the game has all of the DLC unlocked by default. So yeah, this game that nobody likes does everything it can to make sure people don’t buy it, because if you decide to actually play it you’re going to want the only item in the game that goes in the empty backpack slot on your character.
So if you’re coming across this and you’ve had the misfortune of having paid for this game instead of stealing it, and you want the backpack but don’t own a time machine to pay $75 for it years ago. What you can do is:
- Go to the storage chest in the Midnight Forum, that’s where the DLC items will appear if it’s done correctly
- Create a few backup saves in case something goes awry, you might want to empty the contents of your storage chest into your inventory before doing this, not sure how it handles adding new stuff to the pile.
- Obtain a totally legal DRM-free copy of the video game from a friend that had the fortune of purchasing the game through Kickstarter and has all the DLC unlocked
- Keep the two versions of the game you have separate (your steam copy in your steamapps/common folder, and your friend’s copy somewhere else)
- Go into your steam copy’s folder and find the Underworld Ascendant/UA_Data/Plugins folder
- Delete everything in this folder
- Go into your friend‘s copy’s folder and find the Underworld Ascendant/UA_Data/Plugins folder
- Copy everything in this folder into the folder that you just deleted all that stuff from
- Boot the game, load your savegame
- Check the storage chest at the Midnight Forum, it should have all of your friend’s goodies
- Save the game
- Optionally you can now choose to delete the stuff from the steam copy’s Plugins folder again and then verify your game cache to get back to a pure steam install, but with the added items. As long as you loaded the savegame and saved again once you had the items I don’t think it matters.
- Enjoy having the only backpack item in the game while you think about why you purchased this game instead of stealing it
Alternatively you might try your luck with the console commands, but without a full item list to reference you’ll be going in blind. You can enable the console with -console in the launch parameters through your Steam Library. The furthest I got was figuring out how to create some items that are actually named in some stray test files that seem to have been left in the install by the devs.
