One-handed and two-handed input issue

[WEllJiMBo]

Skyrim SE (AE) 1170, only interface mods installed

I'll explain briefly. The game responds terribly to input when I do fast micro-clicks with a one-handed weapon, one-handed + one-handed, or two-handed weapon. LMB and RMB don't register with quick clicks. However, if I equip magic or a shield in the off-hand, ALL attacks trigger despite fast micro-clicks

Tested both with and without mods
Please help resolve my issue if anyone has encountered it

With combat mods, this non-responsiveness effect gets worse, and playing becomes extremely unpleasant

I find the same issue to be the case in my game. For instance, if I attack with a two hander, I cannot attack again until the animation completely finishes and my character goes back to full pause. Likewise with dual wield, I cannot attack a second time until the first animation completely finishes.

In addition, the delay from starting a two handed attack is long compared to one-handed or dual wield. So I absolutely cannot fight a dragon from stealth with a two hander because I never would get an attack off before it flies away. So with dragons I only use dual wield because those attacks both hit hard and allow an almost instant attack.

It is my humble opinion that the animations themselves are the problem. They cannot be interrupted, and the two handed attack (at least from stealth) has no fast attack.

This said, in open combat against monsters, I find the two handed hammer to be absolutely impossible to use because by the time it starts its swing the enemy has moved away, always. However, the two handed sword and two handed battle axe have sideways fast attacks which work.

So there are only four types of melee weapons I can use in Skyrim SE, and they're situational:

a) one handed plus spell. Mediocre in all cases, but usable in a pinch in most situations

b) dual attack from stealth. I'm rooted, but it does a lot of damage and usually staggers the target enough I can attack a second time a few seconds later.

c) non-stealth sideways moving battle axe or great sword, dodging while quick attacking.

No other melee combinations work for me in this game.

No, it's not about attack or animation timings. Also, notice that if you equip a one-handed weapon and magic or a shield in the other hand, the attacks stop failing. Without magic or a shield, attacks won't work properly.
