I hate this change so much. Alchemy bag, empty. Camp supply bag, empty. Keychain, empty. And YET they all get dumped in my inventory every time I decide to shuffle my party for an encounter or companion quest. Are Larian actively trying to discourage exploring, roleplaying and otherwise using the companions? If there's no fix coming, I'm going to try a steamcloud guide to roll back pre patch-3.

Nobody asked for this. Nothing about this improves gameplay experience or even makes roleplay sense (how often do you dump all your camping supplies on a companion mid-hike if you decide to head back to camp early?!). Annoying enough that I don't want to play until they fix it.
