Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems Dead Characters Equip Items; Lost Permanently

I've experienced this issue on Definitive Edition v3.6.64.2709 running in Windows 10 Pro Version 1903 (OS Build 18362.836).

Bug description: When right clicking and choosing to "Equip" an item from a character's corpse that they had equipped, it can be swapped with your currently equipped item. The corpse will equip your original item as a result, but the exchanged item will not appear in the corpse's inventory. It will appear on their model as though they have it equipped, and it cannot be retrieved through any means (that I've found). Saving and reloading does not cause the item to become lootable. As far as I can tell, the item is lost forever. I lost about an hour of progress to this bug as a result of losing my best weapon permanently.

Steps to reproduce: I've only managed to reproduce this bug with one specific character (The Red Prince, who is also my Party Leader). I simply interact with the character corpse (in this case, Dorian Gall at the termination of his quest in his laboratory, after choosing to kill him) and equip his wand from the loot window. Any item I equip on The Red Prince beforehand will be swapped on the corpse in the manner described above. This does not happen with any other character in the party.

I was unable to reproduce this in a different location, so it may be specific to that character / weapon. Or it may just be the characters I checked didn't actually use the equipment in their loot (sometimes there are two versions of an item with different stats/animations/size/etc, one for the opponent and one for loot for the playable characters).

Please email supportdos2@larian.com with your save there, where this can be reproduced (or a Dropbox or Google drive link, etc). If you are using any non-Larian mods, also include a list of those enabled and/or the modsettings.lsx file from your profile folder.
Each save is a folder in the '..\Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition\PlayerProfiles\<ProfileName>\Savegames\Story' folder.
In Windows Explorer you can zip a file or folder by right clicking on it/them and selecting 'Send To | Compressed (zipped) Folder'.
