As a fallout game, it follows the previous ones and is what it is what I dislike is that this is another softyware house that has kinda abondoned its PC roots and has dumbed everything down so it will run on a console. Console programmers need taking out of the studio and taught some PC skills, Bethesda has gone backwards in reguards to its knowlage of PC programming, I played oblivion with a 3 monitor setup, yet Skyrim would not run it across 3 monitors because of the way it was impliment for consoles, they said it could not be fixed, yet a guy in New Zealand, in his bedroom, had a fix out within 48 hours. ( they do not want to fix things if they can get away with it) ........ Bethesda don't really care, Fallout has always been a sucess and as long as they get their cash for it, it will always be a AA console game and not a AAA PC game.

I only know about the housecarls, I have fully equipped one , gone off on missions with others and never had a problem with gear, She always has what I have given her, I did think she had lost the gear once when I came back from a mission with another NPC, as she was sat drinking beer in my bedroom in her old gear, however when I asked her to follow me, she re equipped all the items I had given her when we left the house.

complete the quests for the Jarl, and you get to purchase your own house and a guard to go with it if you become a Tharl, your Housecarl will escort you when requested, will fight n die for you if need be and can also help in carrying your spoils of the mission, just be wary about being between the target and the Housecarl, they dont seem to care who they hit lol
