Dawnguard Helmets

[Spy Boy]

Hey

I was thinking its pretty strange no one of Dawnguard members are using helmets in battle. So I bough some Dawnguard helmets and gave it to few of them. However, they will be using it only while my followers, correct? And during final battle my follower is Serana. This means rest of the order still will be without helmets.
Are there any mods to fix this?

Can't pickpocket them and put it in their inventory? Not sure if it will work, but doesn't hurt to try

My pickpocking is on thr lowest level. But I can try when they will be sleeping.

Won't work, the only equipment they will use on their own is the stuff they have originally equiped. You can steal their equipment, upgrade it and give the stuff back so they will equip it again as it will have the ID of the original owner on it. If you simply give them stuff they will only equip it while they follow you.

For pickpocketing, level it up, just get some gear with increased pickpocket chance, then find a target. Give them 1500 gold, then pickpocket it back (or whatever has a 90% chance). You should be getting to pickpocket 40 soon enough so you can learn the higher chance to pickpocket cash. At that point you can probably give them 2500-3000 cash, give the cash and again pickpocket it back. (best to just have a 1500 cash with you and another 1500 in a barrel closeby). You should get pickpocket 100 soon enough to learn the perfect touch trait to be able to pickpocket every item someone has.

Best to save every time you get a succesful pickpocket, don't go on and on cause you will be caught :) When you have been caught, just reload.

Don't have enough perks to get perfect touch?, legendary the pickpocket tree and level it again.

Hey but it kinda worked. I gave one of order members Dawnguars Rune Hammer (because my character is using one handed weapons) and so... Even when I disbanned him, he was still using it as primary weapon (wearing on the back) even when I have returned to Dawnguard castle!.. Cool... Isnt it? However dont know how it works

And thanks for good lockpicking describing

If you have a follower mod like Amazing Follower tweaks (AFT )or immersive AFT (iAFT) that lets you give control over armor / clothing of followers such that you can remove their normal gear and replace it with your selection.

Also has an option to only use helmets during battle, such that during battle they are totally
covered / geared up. The helmets do actually count as being worn the remainder of the time .. however you still get to see faces; until battle starts.

AFT works well for me, it hasn't been updated for a long time though.

so it basically mean they will be still wearing helmets even when I disbanned them?
