This game seriously annoys the crap out of me at times! I've spent like the past hour, maybe more gathering supplies & fixing up a new power armour for Danse from the t-60 at Perdweryn. I put great mods on it & was looking forward to putting it on him. Only for the game to tell me, after equipping a couple of the parts that he can't carry any more weight! I then installed the calibrated mods on the legs so he can carry more weight & unequipped some other stuff to lose some weight. Then equipped the calibrated legs first, but like before it tells me he can't carry any more weight! I checked the extra weight added by the new mods, and it's not a really big difference from the weight of the power armour I'd put on him before. So you can understand why I'm so frustrated. Has anyone here tried anything like this? Is there a way round it?

If youre using PC, remove everything from Danse's inventory and resetactor. This problem we have in TES also, where some of the companions decrease amount they can carry each time we do something into their inventory or other character changes. Only solution we had in TES, reset actor to default. If youre using console, you may got a problem unless load a saved game before you did something to Dane's PA.

DO NOT CHANGE DANSE"S POWER ARMOR

If you change his power armor you wreck him, because his old armor gets added to his inventory at full weight and can't be removed EVER, unless you are on Pc and want to spend an hour using console commands to open his inventory, see the list of code versions of all his items (so things like e4465d3), figure out which ones are his armor, and remove them one by one.

If you change out his armor it reduces his carry weight by 85, and there is no way to fix this without console commands, and every now and then he will clone new sets of power armor, also invisible, and also reducing his weight by another 80 each time, taking his carry weight from 210 to nothing in no time.

Even putting extra carry weight armor reduces his carry weight, and the difference between his default armor and the best armor in the game is irrelevant, because diminishing returns makes the protection difference almost nothing, and his default armor has infinite durability, which is the most important stat for power armor.

I don't understand why you ever took his armor off in the first place....

Crap. And there was me thinking I can just do what I did before & buy the basic t-60 armour & put it back on him. Cuz the saves I have before I did this are way back & I'm on ps4.

So is this bug/glitch for all companions? And when you say it doesn't make a difference putting on new power armour for Danse, does that go for other companions too?

You know you can just drop the item and command him to pick the items up.

Thanks dude! That totally fixed it. Now Danse has got model f, titanium armour. Hopefully it'll make a slight difference. Despite what people in this thread have said, lol.
