Hi. I've played through the Vampire-side quests of the Dawnguard DLC and noticed that the weight of items I can give to Seranna is reduced gradually over time. I'm playing the game on the 360.

To test this, I reloaded my save files from various points in the quest line and each time gave Seranna as many items as she can carry. What I noticed was:

Save file 1 (39h 50m 14s): Seranna could carry 281 weight. At this point the quest Prophet is active at the step "Ask people in ****** ****** if they saw the **** ******".

Save file 2 (79h 15m 19s): Seranna could carry 83 weight. At this point the quest Kindred Judgment is active at the step "Confront ****** with ******** ***".

Save file 3 (80h 49m 06s): Seranna could carry 65 weight. At this point the Dawnguard Vampire-side questline is complete.

Save file 4 (83h 27m 55s): Seranna could carry 64 weight. At this point the Dawnguard Vampire-side questline is complete.

Has anyone else noticed this? Can anyone else confirm?

I'm not sure what's causing the reduction in her carry weight. During the playthrough, she was constantly present as the main character's companion. Generally, I would enter a dungeon/area with Seranna, fill up on loot until that dungeon/area's task is accomplished, then sell/store the loot before returning to the quest giver to finish the quest and progress the story. After finishing the questline, Seranna could barely carry the gear I give her for her use in combat. I don't know if any of these details is pertinent to why her carry weight is gradually reduced.

I hope this can be fixed by Bethesda! Do their devs monitor this forum at all?

Thanks.

They do monitor the forums, yes. I've had them reach out to me on a Dawnguard issue after I posted my problem in a thread, it just took them about two weeks after I created the thread.

OT: I've only given her a set of legendary glass armor and a legendary glass sword -- so I've not tested her 'max carrying capacity' at any given time.

Maybe its because she interacts with everything, for example chopping wood. When you go to her inventory you don't see it but maybe the wood still gets added if you know what i mean.

It's a common bug with alot of follower NPCs. The game keeps re-adding their invisible "starter" set of gear each time you dismiss and re-hire them. You're unable to see the gear in their inventory, or remove it (Short of console commands). The invisible "starter" gear keeps adding weight to their inventory.

This is probably the follower "duplicating items" bug. This is pretty common and affects nearly all the followers I believe. At least one of my followers cannot carry anything other than arrows and gold.

PC users can use commands to clear this up. Xbox360/PS3 users can attempt the Wabbajack method to reset your follower, but this doesn't always work.

We're basically stuck until Bethesda does a fix.
