orv420 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) I think I may have found a way to make the automatic bow swap issue with followers more bearable... I made my own ESP that gives followers a Longbow and 1 Iron Arrow... The auto-equip bow function appears to be linked to an invisible quest named (QUST)DialogueFollower. If you change the reward items (CNTO) from FollowerBow (10e2dd) and FollowerIronArrow (10e2de) to any you like. These items are tradable, unlike the other items. This quest was the only reference to FollowerBow (10e2dd) in a search of Skyrim.esp other than the WEAP records. I'm new to modding and by the time I figure out how to load something to the Nexus, someone might be able to use the information I found.

orv420 Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 The only thing I haven't figured out so far is getting your follower to equip a Daedric Bow over an Ebony. I also tested Lydia with only a Daedric Bow and the normal hidden one and she chose the hidden one. Reloaded the game (where she has no hidden bow) Gave her a Daedric and Glass Bow, attacked the guards and surrendered. Checked inventory and the Daedric bow was still equipped (along with having a new Longbow and 1x Iron Arrow) At least the items are visible and can be removed easily to avoid the encumbrance bug. Just avoid giving your follower an Ebony Bow if you want them to use Daedric for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
