Hello, so I have a bit of a strange issue, can't find anything about it elsewhere.
So, I'm playing a character that has lots of companions that are all horse archers. They all have bow/arrows/1h/shield loadout, and I enabled "Enhanced horse archers AI" for NPCs only. It works, as in my companions will ride around and avoid melee well, shooting all their arrows before engaging in melee. BUT, one or two companions per battle (at random) will somehow not realise they have a melee weapon. This means that when they run out of arrows, they'll keep their bow out and sort of ride towards the enemy to die in melee as they cannot fight back with their now useless bow. I can visually see at this point that 1. their quiver is empty, and 2. their sword is sheathed at their side.
I have tried changing the positioning of the equipment in their inventory, checked if a certain weapon or bow or arrow quiver was the culprit, but it seems completely random. It can happen to any of my companions, and the next battle another companion might have this issue. I've checked things like usable on horseback, strength requirements, shield requirements, but nothing seems strange.
I can force melee weapon usage by telling them to only use melee weapons, but it's a poor solution to the problem. Maybe it's an issue with autoloot, whenever they change equipment it's not properly recognized? More likely it's some problem with the horse archer enhancements, if anyone has any tips or experiences with something similar, I would appreciate the help. Thanks!
