Could be a stupig question, but:
Can i give equipment to henchman for them to use?
If so how?
If no why not?

blah
as far as i know, there is no way to give henchmen new equipment. I think the developers wanted your henchmen to be exactly that, a *henchman* . Kind of like a familiar, in that they fight beside you, but can be dismissed at any time, and are not a big part of the game.

But that dousn't make sence, their helping me, so i don't want them to die, so if they walk around in lousy armour, and i have some big piece of armour in my backpack, why shouldn't i be able to give it to them?

Ah, but you're thinking this is an RPG.
It's more of a dungeon crawl, IMO, though not a bad one.

little bit of a spoiler
if it's any consolation, your henchmen DO get better equipment as they level up. I guess they didn't want people mucking up their characters by giving their priest a silly little dagger or something hehe

That makes sence, and it's comforting to know!

I actually like the change from the BG series, how you have much less control of party members. Now you can focus more on your main character, and it feels more realistic.

FYI you can give them healing potions, click and drag from your inventory and they drink up!
