    When i equip my characters with additional weapons in the weapon slots, they keep on changing weapons spontaneously by themselves. I don't mean changing from ranged to melee weapon when enemies get close to them (that's fine), but from one melee weapon to another (Paladin with 2 points on longsword and sword +1 in slot 1 changing to warhammer in slot 2, for example, which for this character means giving up an attack bonus of +8 for an AB of +6 with no greater damage potential). I find this damn annoying, as they're not selecting their best weapons. And anyway, I want to be in control of the weapons they use. I've been looking through the manual, but it says nothing about this. Is there any way to fix this? (Besides switching of the AI.) I've been playing through IWD 1, BG1 and BG2, and this happened nowhere before.

    It's the AI scripts that play their "magic" on you.

    Try searching for updated scripts that remove the annoying select_best_weapon() or somesuch command from the scripts.
