You are dead right Soulshift. After making to the city and roleplaying hours of clues for the quests in there (no spoilers) I final got into combat just outside town.. I was horrified to find that my ranger had no bow and my warrior no sword or shield. I had to instantly load my last save.. The items were gone. I had to go back 5 saves, to the moment I first entered the city to find a save were they still had their stuff..

I am new to this game but this is a show stopper for me. Equipped items should NOT be in your inventory. Why would they be? A sword is in your hand. Not in the bag with your potions and such.

I have never seen such nonsense in any game. Out in the dungeon, you find new items all the time.. You compare them and equip the upgrades. I personally do not make a note of the names of equipped items. Who does?

Now I am stuck in town, with not enough gold to buy all the stuff i need.. Looks like I need to start again.. How tedious.
