Enchanting: [F] Rename Item (doesn't work!)


FavoredSoul

Recommended Posts

I've tried again and again but I just can't seem to rename items when i'm at the table. Scrolling with the arrows, clicking on "Rename Item", hitting the hotkey(s)... it all doesn't work. I never get to rename the item, the only thing that keeps happening is the popup box telling me whether or not it can proceed to enchant the item.

 

Any tips?

I have the exact same bug on PC. I can invoke the rename menu (sometimes), and (sometimes) even type over the default weapon name, but it never seems to save the name I give the piece no matter what. I suppose when the editor comes out we can rename items directly from there but... Grrr.

Did you try hitting the Enter key? That solved my problem on the PC version.

The interface seems to be more console friendly and therefore the PC version is less intuitive than in previous games.

I try to think "console" when I am searching for how to make the interface do what I want.

I had a lot of trouble at first, too.

After typing the name of your item, press the [ENTER] key. The letters of your item should all snap to upper-case. Craft the item, noting that the crafting message will say the common name of the item. If you look in your inventory, your item SHOULD appear with the name you entered.

I'm also having this issue, and boy is it pissing me off. I can't even get the name dialogue box to come up. I've heard it may be because I remapped my keys (specifically my favorites key which I also have trouble with) but so far I have not gotten good confirmation on this. Hope they get it fixed soon... And that leveling up = suckier enchantments issue as well.

After trying every single key on my keyboard I decided to hit the reset button on my keyboard bindings,a nd voila, it started working.

 

I have remapped keys because i'm left handed. We all know the interface has plenty of bugs in it. This is just one of those I guess. Its a shame that I have to rebind everytime I want to enchant, but at least I get to christen my stuff :P

Good to know there is a work around for now. None of my rebindings are really necessary (just convenient) so I might just reset them and leave it. Still hope we'll get some actual fixes though. Bethesda said they were going to try pushing another patch this week, so hopefully they'll address at least the enchanting levelling issue.
