How can I view companion/enemy equipment?

I'm not sure if I am just missing a menu somewhere, but the wiki has each piece of gear listed (name, flavor text, stats etc.) for companion sets as well as some enemies.

For example, Etheryn's Outrider Gear Set has the following description for the armor slot:

Outrider's Leathers (armor)

---

A simple but expertly-crafted set of leather hunting armor over a dark green tunic. The design is clearly northern, and is well suited for the lithe and acrobatic fighting style of the boreal elves. The physical protection this set offers is lacking in comparison to harder, heavier armors from the southlands.


Is there a way to view this information in game?

I think Journal -> Character -> (companion) -> Change Sets and mouse over each set to get the information is what you want. That only works for companions in your active party, but it's easy to swap at the nearest Waystone. For enemies, I don't know.

I'm not sure if it appears differently on PC, but at least on mobile this only brings up a description of the set + affinities, and not the description of each gear piece.

Ah, yeah, you can't. That info is stored in the code, but isn't visible in-game, except for maybe weapon when you sense / if you read the combat text. Wiki's the only place to find it, otherwise.

That is what I suspected, but I second-guessed myself because— why would authors even bother writing the description if it appears nowhere in-game?

Anyway, thanks for your answer.
