assigned issue to
Follower Primary Limb/ AI equip routine
Follower primary limb selection seems to prioritize highest PV(note sure) which leads to:
-
cases(always in my experience) where they select horns, bite, stinger and the like as primary limb. Problem is, for example, I recruited Indrix to dismember faces on his own for me but he can't since his horns are short swords. And when I dominate him while in combat, I can't switch to his axe. I resorted to wishing his horns off. But before I discovered this workaround, I avoided followers that have natural weapons/mutations like these and avoided buying such mutations.
-
followers using anything over vibro weapons. This made me want to reach out since I can't find a workaround for this. I want my Svenlainard to use a CVK on his main hand to avoid having to micromanage his weapons depending on enemy AV. But he always picks something else as his main hand/weapon but I haven't tested very low tier weapons, only down to fullertie. I could resort to giving him: a. CVKs but jab won't work, b. vibro daggers but managing batteries is inconvenient since they won't refill blood batteries c. low tier weapons(not even sure about this)
-
followers choosing to have no gloves over having gesticulating gloves when there's something to equip in the floating nearby slot. But they also would switch to an unmodded glove instead.
-
followers switching to weapons that they are unskilled with. Sometimes they switch to a different weapon from the same tier for some reason.
-
limiting what items I can make them carry to avoid these problems.
So.. yeah.. These thing make my current playthrough really frustrating/tedious for me and probably some other players. Maybe an on/off toggle for AI equip routine would solve all these? or a lock slot mechanic? I hope I don't seem demanding.

A quick bandaid for this in 201.57: The AV/MA (if mental weapon stat) of the wielder is used to calculate the adaptive penetration scoring.
