Okay, the Hireling:

I'm tired of seeing the wrong answer, and I might just delete all the wrong answers here.

The Hireling allows you to carry an extra Big Item. That's all he does. He does not act as a slot for Armor, Headgear, Footgear or as any number of extra Hands.

So. If you have 2 Big Items and one of them is Armor and you already have Armor, you can't get a bonus from the second piece of Armor. If you have both of your Hands full and you have a two-Handed Big Item you want to play, you have a Hireling and another Big Item in play already, you won't get the bonus for that two-Handed Big Item.

But, here's another example: You are wearing the Mithril Armor have a Hireling and then decide to put in to play the Unnatural Axe. You get bonuses from both the Mithril Armor and the Unnatural Axe. This is not because the Hireling is holding the armor, it's because you have the Hands free to weild the axe and have the armor slot free.

The only thing about the Siege Engine is that if you have the Hireling, it doesn't count against your Hand limit.

So, ignore any comments about the Hireling and weapons or anything else, just know that the Hireling does not act as another "body" for you to put stuff on or an extra pair of Hands to wield stuff.

То-есть мы понимаем, что слотов не добавляется (рук-ног-головы), но большая шмотка может использоваться вместе с другой большой, но только если бы она налезала и без наемничка (как маленькая). Осадная машина, разумеется, исключение.
