Weapons duplicating when I store them on a dead body?

[Guest deleted2027229]

Scenario:

 

Bandit attacks me with a warhammer. I kill the bandit and take his warhammer. I decide I dont want the hammer so put it back on his dead body. Body now has two warhammer.

 

Any ideas what's causing this and how to fix?

Because all bandit's items are generated from leveled lists, it's most propably manifestation of the memory leak as described in Engine Bug Fixes mod description (see DeathItemFix). As you return bandit's weapon, you will see two weapons instead - one equipped with full health and the original. As you take back the original and try to return it again, the result will be crash of Oblivion. Taking and returning equipped weapon with full health seems "fix" this - the result will be only one weapon in bandit's inventory. Engine Bug Fixes mod does its job nicely to fix this bug (among many others), so as one of happy users I can recommend it. It's a plugin for OBSE.
