Henchman inventory not working

Hey guys.
Just started playing Neverwinter Nights again... Noticed a bug that is new to me - when I try to access henchman's, in this case Sharwyn's inventory, a little popup says "You are unable to view this companion's inventory"... What the hell? I'm using version 1.68 I think... Any help on how to override this would be welcome. If nothing else she is soon going to run out of arrows. :(

From what I remember the henchman inventory was never accessible in the NWN OC without the aid of an external hak, like the advanced henchman AI mod. Mainly because the original levelup scripts on henchmen were stupid and required replacing the henchman with a newer model. The scripts were changed by the time Shadows of Undrentide was released to allow access to henchman inventories and for inventory items to carry between chapters. You must be careful in the OC if you use the mod to access inventories as you can lose items when changing henchmen and changing chapters.

I am not sure Bioware ever changed the henchman system of the OC in any patches, but you should check the patch update histories to be sure it really is a bug.

On a plus... henchmen never run out of ammo. Their standard ranged weapons have infinite arrows/bolts on them.

Haha. Thanks man. Yes you're right, I remembered having the option to edit their inventory in NWN 1 but the fact is they added it later in SoU or maybe even HotU... Damn. Thanks for clearing that up anyway. :)
