Companions need their own backpacks

If they aren't sworn to carry our burdens, they could at least carry their own.
If each companion had a "companion gear only" backpack this would alleviate many concerns about gear storage. Even if it was only about 100-120 slots. This could even be handled like player backpacks, start at about 50-60 and allow us to buy bigger bags with gold.
Add a "trade" option when you talk to them and access their backpack to store or eguip gear.
Also, if we can't craft, re-trait, recreate or sticker book their gear, at least let us upgrade the green -> blue -> purple. So if you get "right weight-right trait" we can up it to purple.

remosito✭✭✭✭✭Make the companion gearpack shared and big!
I personally dont enjoy the shuffle gear through bank with relogs AT ALL.ShutYerTrap (selectively mute NPC dialogues (stuga, companions); displayleads (antiquity leads location); UndauntedPledgeQueuer (small daily undaunted dungeon queuer window)3 -
Nirntrotter✭✭✭✭✭It's kinda hilarious that compared to Skyrim, YOU are now THEIR pack mule.
(Please make them carry their own gear.)16 -

✭✭✭✭✭I would prefer they carry their own gear even if it means you have to collect the same items twice over, for each Companion individually.5 -
Alphawolf01A✭✭✭✭✭@ZOS_GinaBruno, While I understand that this is something that probably would not be able to be implemented by the Blackwood launch, it would make for a great QoL update as far as companions are concerned. Think of it as a portable "storage coffer" that only holds companion gear like the Craft bag only holds materials.
The gear can still drop normally and be looted by the player and then we can choose to put it in their backpack through "trade". This would allow alt characters to access the companions gear without doing a bank swap, letting players change roles on companions easier to fit their alts.
While the Companion system is a good idea, it has a ways to go before it's "there".1 -

Fata1moose✭✭✭✭✭One reason companions were requested was because they’re in Skyrim and expected for a TES game. You want the feature to evoke a similar feeling to Skyrim companions and one such aspect of companions is using them as a pack mule. Besides being useful it also makes the game feel more like the mainline series which is an additional win.1
