[REQ] Better access to follower'scompanion's inventory

Post » Thu May 17, 2012 8:35 am

For anyone using your housecarl or other follower as a pack mule, it is very frustrating to continually have to speak to them to pass items back and forth. Especially when selling wares to merchants. If you're not sure what items a merchant will buy, you can easily become over-encumbered and have to give items once again back to your mule, just so you can go next door to sell more.

Two simple (hopefully!?) changes that would greatly improve game play:

1. When bartering with a merchant, if you have a companion (read: pack mule) with you, the inventory screen should show the merchant, your player, plus your companion inventories. If you sell from your inventory or your companion, the money of course goes to you. This would GREATLY improve playability of a treasure hunter.

2. [Lesser priority] When browsing your inventory in the wild, if your companion is with you (within a reasonable distance I suppose), you should have access to both inventories when equipping items, as well as when looting containers. Additional key mappings would have to be included I guess, such as:

- Equip
- Take
- Take all
- Give to {companion name}
- Give all to {companion name}
- etc.

Anyone else feel this would add to their enjoyment?

I like, can we also have an option to let my horse carry a bit of my wares. Sure I don't mind removing them when I enter a town, but the carrying capacity of my horse should be quite large.
