and it would feel much more natural, if i would not switch to Lae'zel or Shadowheart after searching every crate, or corpse in order to loot it. :-/
Just so you know, you can use context menu (RMB by default) to send item to different party member then the one you are controlling.
Exactly Ragnarok's point. You CAN constantly shift items to another companion or switch control to another companion so they are the ones opening containers and jazz...
OR... What Ragnarok is suggesting, and I totally 100% want this now:
Your MC picks will be encumbered if they pick up anything over 5 pounds. You pick up ring mail armor weighing 40 pounds. Instead of being encumbered, the game automatically transfers for you the suit of ring mail armor to Lae'zel, the next person in your party. You didn't have to click a thing, and your MC doesn't become encumbered at all. Quality of Life. The game does FOR you what you COULD and almost certainly WILL do yourself manually.
One minor tweak would have to be that it only does this IF a companion is within a certain range of you and if playing Multiplayer, it wouldn't automatically shift an item to another player's MC. It would only work shifting to NPCs.
