Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta Shield unequipping while digging

I was playing Co-op with my friend and I took the shovel you find in the graveyard. I started to dig up some graves and noticed my shield wasn't equipped anymore. I had to equip it after every grave I dug up, iv'e reproduced this a number of times. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but, i was playing a battle mage when the events occurred.

Yep, can confirm. (forgot to log this one)

I think it's because the shovel is two-handed, and the game decides to temporarily unequip your gear when you use the shovel, and forgets to put the shield back.

Yeah, happens all the time, and I always (when in the 'wild' instead of city) forget to re-equip it, then have to do so in combat costing AP

So it would be very nice if fixed.

+100 to this - very annoying.
