NPCs don't seem to equip reverse pickpocketed items like they do with weapons, am I missing something?
I have 100 pickpocketing and I wanted to see if I could make people wear whatever armor I gave them, but it seems to only work with the chlothes they were originally wearing.

Should work for armor and weapons only if it's better than what they are currently using, afaik. A person who is skilled in light armor might not use daedric armor because his own armor actually protects more. (unlikely though).

Well that's the problem, the NPCs refuse to equip any item I give them
