This is a modding cry for help. I've been ridiculously excited about Skyrim ever since I found out what an emphasis dual wielding would have in the game. Unfortunately, though you can indeed dual wield just about everything, Bethesda neglected to include any way to quickly switch between dual wield combinations. For example, if I bind 1 to my sword and set my axe as an off-hand and then set my bow to 2, I can move between those set ups with just the 1 and 2 keys. This works because the game will remember the last off-hand item when moving to two-handed equipment. However, let's say I want to keep my sword in my main hand, but swap in my heal spell to off-hand which is bound to 3. Pressing 3 will indeed swap my off-hand to healing, but pressing 1 again will not bring my axe back as the hotkey system does not recognize off-hand assignments. The only way to return to my original dual wielding setup is to reequip my axe from the favorites menu. Clunky to say the least. It would be much easier and more fluid to switch from sword/axe to sword/heal and back with just the hotkeys rather than pausing the game by accessing the favorites menu. Some other notes: - Assigning the axe it's own hotkey (say sword on 1 and axe on 2) does not work, as the axe will simply replace the sword in the mainhand and leave whatever was already in off-hand in place. - Dual wielding identical items is the exception to this problem. In this case (say two identical daggers bound to 1) pressing 1 twice will equip one in the main-hand and then the second in the off-hand. You can also switch between the dagger/heal combination as the heal will open in the off-hand and 1 will equip the second identical dagger back to the off-hand. So here is my desperate plea. Please, genius modders, I beg of you. If this is within your powers - help a poor dual wielding dovahkiin out. Thanks!
