i had heard that the Co8 patch fixed this so that all npc's looted like elmo, but i'm not seeing that. could someone clarify what really happens here? also, is there a way to turn the level cap back on?
Co8 3.0.4 changes NPC looting so that they take only coins and jewelry. If you installed 3.0.4 midway through your game, it will NOT make your existing NPCs give up everything they have. They will still keep what they've got. However, they won't take any more items, and newly added NPCs won't take ANY items. And if you start a new game, none of the NPCs will take anything but coins and jewelry. These items will not encumber your NPCs.
