I don't mind the corpses having on their person what they wore.
I always find it silly that when you defeat a fully geared out enemy knight, you get 1 copper piece of some trash.

Looting was common in the middle ages and SHOULD be common. Enemies should drop everything you would logically except them to have. BUT (a big but), the condition of the gear is the issue - at the very least the armor should be damaged (if you killed someone wearing it) or ill-fitted for you.

Basically, while you CAN pick up everything, you won't enjoy the full benefit until you have that equipment repaired/fitted.


The second thing I'd like is to be able to enchant a weapon or having it grow with your deeds. That normal, unassuming sword you started with can grow to become a powerful weapon. Killed 100 orcs with it and performed a ritual in orc blood? It's now an orcbane weapon. Basically opportunities to make some pieces of equipment "yours". Personal, valuable and worth to keep.
