Disappearing boots?

[MannStooka]

This has happened twice now, but I'll go into a cut scene and notice someone walking around barefoot. It's not an issue of inventory management, I'm curious if they are either wearing out or getting eaten up by fire and/or acid. For the love of god, please tell me I haven't been inadvertently destroying my boots because I didn't understand this mechanic.

Not a single one - totally vanilla.

Was this by any chance happening in underdark? if yes, read the spoiler


One duergar asks you to retrieve his boots from a gnome from the mushrooms.
Same happened with my friend and I had to tell him that literally HE gave it to the dwarf lol.

Good god, this might actually explain one pair... but I can't account for the second pair going missing. And yes, I was in the Grymforge when all of this happened so that kind of tracks. Thanks for responding back though, I'm going to pay a bit more attention to acid pools and see if there's anything else going on.

Im sure you finished the Quest in the Underdark and gave the boots to the Duergar.

Characters have two outfits. Full armor and casual. When you start a long rest you are in full armor. While in camp, choosing "end day" changes you to casual. Sleeping and waking up again puts you back in full armor. Boots from one won't always show up in the other, etc.

Might just be that the game is showing you the alternative suit appearance for the character, unless you've found that your boots are being unequipped every time, in which case I'd ask if you accidentally fed your shoes to Gale or something.
