Loot disappearing after fights
I've had this happen to me a couple of times now. First time I brushed it off as me forgetting what loot I acquired, but I just had a fight with bandits where I got a bunch of Tier 2 loot. Excited to equip my brothers with new gear, I open my inventory to see none of the Tier 2 loot I had acquired from the previous battle. I'm not sure if there is a bug with the loot all option or if I should be manually moving what I want to loot from the spoils of war after each battle.

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

edit: This last time it happened it was during a caravan escort mission. I'm not sure if that matter. I'm not sure if the caravan takes the loot, in which case I don't understand why it would give you the option of seeing the spoils of war after the battle while protecting the caravan.

There are a few reason why this is happening:

1) Unless you tick "auto loot everything" in options, you have to manually click on items after the battle in order to get them. Otherwise you discard them. Judging from what you are writing this seems to be the case here.

2) Enemies killed by your allies won't drop loot for you.

3) Items that are too damaged/destroyed won't be looted.

4) Not all of the items will be lootable, even if they aren't destroyed.

options 2-4 definitely do not apply. Let me try rephrasing my explanation.

After the fight is over, you literally see all of the loot that was dropped and gained from the fight. In the middle of the screen between the two windows, you'll see your stash and the loot you'll acquire. I'll click the "Loot All Items" button. I'll exit the screen and then open up my inventory. None of the items I just looted are there. Does that make more sense?

This isn't happening all the time. Just once in a rare while.

Well the only times this happened to me was because I forgot to click loot all or because my stash was full and I closed the window too fast without noticing some items didn't go through.

Seems like a bug if it's not that.
