Starting with the recently found Over Encumbereance exploit. It's a simple process to ensure you never become OE again. Anytime you do find yourself slogging away, drop any of your major items and command your NPC to pick it up.

Turns out this item will not count towards your companions total item count, meaning you can pick up everything always!

Thanks. Good to know the exploit from Skyrim carried over to here.
