Hi

I gave some good equipment to my companion, way better than his rags, and when I send him home... it had dissapearead... not even in his inventory

Not realy a problem since I saved, but I think Its quite stupid.

For me I had a similar problem, but they didn't lose it, they just unequiped it.

So if I wanted them to keep the fancy new equipment on, I had to keep them as followers and not send them home. Or I had to make them a follower, take one item back, give it to them again, and then they'd equip all their fancy new threads.

It's quite a wierd setup regardless. Not really sure what went wrong with the programming here. If we give better gear to them, I don't want them to default to their default gear, ever (unless I tell them to).

It's funny you mentioned this. Twice now I've noticed a piece of equipment missing. At first I thought maybe I had sold it or stored it by accident. But after looking I never found it. I didn't pay it any attention and just went on my way. I do find it interesting you mention this. I'll keep an eye out for any more instances.

I had a big fight with a boss and Lydia did not have the sword I gave her. I found it on the ground. So my guess is that the Dragonborn is not the only one that can disarm an opponent. My advice is after a big fight, check your follower's inventory and if any weapons are missing, scan the area for it. If they drop something it might be gone forever if you don't find it in time. Sometimes leaving a dungeon may make it go away. I guess it is all part of babysitting.
