Welp, I've googled the crap out of this and searched the forums high and low and can't seem to find the right language to hit that search engine sweet spot. My problem is that random NPCs (bandits in caves mostly) as well as Vivec himself seem to be adamant on wearing no armor in spite of the fact that they have armor in their inventory. I suspect it may have something to do with the MCP feature that disables merchants equipping whatever you sell them, but I have no way to know for sure.

I'm using Psy's Vivec God Replacer, Better Bodies, Better Clothes, and a few other things that might be the culprit. If anyone has a solution or even a quick and dirty console code fix I'd appreciate it.
