Ok, so recently i found out about making your follower pickup things for you, and apparently, they get infinite carry limit.. However, ive come to find that more t han half of this loot, ends up marked as "stolen" by doing so..,Anyone else able to confirm this, or am i doing something wrong>?

I think that's a known bug. You can do it that way, but try not to overdo it.

I only use that trick for dwemer ruins because of the stolen tag bug. Reason i do it in dwemer ruins is all the scrap i get which i smelt into dwarven ingots. One time after taking all the scrap from my follower my weight went up to like 1400/300. I'm not about to leave a dungeon halfway through and make extra trips. Since it's going to me and getting smelted the stolen tag doesnt really matter.

ok, yea i refuse to leave midway through a dungeon too.. drives me nuts, i had my carry up to 550 at one point with steed stone, but after trying legendary, quickly moved back down to master, and put the next 2 dozen lvls in hp, lmao!

Alright thx guys...didnt know this was common knowledge... does it do it to 'all' items he pick up? or just past his carry limit? is it random? wuts the deal?
