    Hi. I know this has probably been done 1000 times, but I have a question on the NPC encumbrance. I had the 1.0 mod installed and neither Otis nor the Bard pick up any physical loot. I reinstalled the game and installed 2.0 and now NPC's I add to my party do encumber themselves to at least medium, usually with usless jumk. NPCs in my save games from the 1.0 mod still seem to only loot gold. Was there a difference in this feature between 1.0 and 2.0? Also, this seems to imply that once you add an NPC their looting style is set in the same game file?

    It looks like the looting patch was taken out of the 2.0.0 mod pack release. I think the plan for the future is to make that component optional.

    Thanks FSR, that was it. Lucky for me I still had the old patch. I don't care whether they actually take a buch of the loot but even medium encumbrance for an NPC thief (for example) is a real disadvantage.

    Yeah, I think I hacked the changes into my protos.tab file. I'm not sure if there's a good patching mechanism for doing stuff like this. There's also the AI fix that needs to go in there.
