<SamV> I've noticed that in the last week or two in new saves the player starts without having the starting melee weapon equipped and wanted to check if that is an intended change or a bug? The starting melee weapon is now in the inventory instead of starting equipped like it used to. I've noticed it for recent daily challenge characters but also I just generated a few random classic characters and they all also didn't start with their starting melee weapons equipped.

it appears this applies to static NPCs as well. for example, zothom the pentient will currently sell his weapons, rather than equipping them.
