Furthermore, you'll note that once an item is 'given' to an NPC, it's quite likely his/her's

This was annoying...and I'll admit I took out that thief fellow you meet because he was holding something I just had to have. I didn't feel good about it, but the +3 weapon consoled me easily hehe.

I do like the idea of them looking out for themselves though, taking what they consider 'fair' - but I wish there was an item arbitration of some kind before they go and fill their open slots with magic items that they can't use. 2 suggestions: 1) watch what the 'deal' they offer when you're considering hiring them. Many want their fair share as 1/8 or whatever of your party. Some want way more, and some don't want anything at all. The mage you meet early in the game only wants scrolls, for example. But man will he take them lol. 2)My other suggestion is to find relatively light items to take up the NPCs free slots periodically. This may not work in the version you're using, but in an older version they wouldn't sell their stuff effectively, so you'd only have to add 1-2 lightweight items. In that old version you could also take their money and they wouldn't care haha.
