dual wielding weapons and using favorites - please help

Recommended Posts

This is most required mod in my gameplay experience. I want to be able to use hotkeys to set dual-wielding weapons and magic. Also, the hotkeyed items or spells shouldn't appear in the favourites menu because it gets too crowded otherwise. 8 working hotkeys plus whatever you want to put in the favourites would be enough for me. Is anyone working on this?

Solution is to hit "q" and than scroll to spell/weapon you want and hit LMB/RMB to equip.

I have the same problem when using spell in one and sword in other hand.

Can't remove spell with hotkey it just adds spell to both hands and I wanted to be able to block with sword.

When using a 360 gamepad on the PC version, I am prevented from using the keyboard hotkeys. Anyone know a way around this? I want to be able to use the gamepad when required and switch to the mouse/KB when needed (for hotkeys, quicksaves, archery etc.)

This is incredibly frustrating indeed. Also note that there appears to be a bug that if you have multiples of a weapon (i.e. 3x hunting bows in your inventory) that you assign a hot key to the game forgets the assignment after you have used it once. At least this is the case for bows.

 

Interface in general = terrifail

Even without all the bugs Bethesda's interface is still a pathetic piece of crap, compared to say Blizzard's. This is even more frustrating given skyrim is such a great game.

Can't we even get proper configurable keybindings? separate bindings for left and right hand? or bindings for weapon/magic sets? This whole "favorites menu" business is a broken idea, or just plain laziness. I mean this is a real time game, you shouldn't be able to pause the game in mid-combat to swap weapons or drink potions, that's just lame, dumb, and totally breaks the experience. But alas, they will never fix this, and by drm'ing the main executable, kills any hope of modders fixing this as well.

This is a bug specifically with upgraded weapons. If you attempt to DW with two upgraded weapons you will equip one weapon and then unequip it and unbind the key.

 

So here are the work arounds.

 

1) Use non-upgraded weapons. They work fine with the occasional unbind glitch.

 

2) Use non-upgraded weapons + one upgraded weapons. Let's say you have two "Ebony Swords" and one "Ebony Sword (Legendary)". Set the ebony swords to 4, set the legendary ebony sword to 5. Now hit 4-4-5. This will equip both of your regular ebony swords, and then replace your mainhand with the upgraded ebony sword.

 

As of right now there is no way to dual wield two different weapons through hotkeys, so my advice is to stick to the above two work arounds.

Hello there,

 

i try to find a solution to equip two different weapon. One in Left Hand and other in Right Hand with shortcut. It's properly impossible, if you have the same weapon in double. You can dual with pressing your shortcut two times.

But if you have two different, you just cannot play with shortcut, you must use favorite menu. Very frustrating !!! That's break the rhythm.

Must use lower weapon or cheat to have the same twice.

There's any other solution or mod ?

 

Thanks for your response.

 

Thanks to modders for their work

ok, it is definately a bug. I got this dual bug fixed for 1 item, meaning 1 tem can be enchanted or whatever. SO....

1) have 2 of the same weapon, for example, I used 2 glass swords. Hotkey them while they are together, so both <L and r> and assign it say, hotkey 1.

2) have the enchanted/whatever item on hotkey 2. (used dagger with soul trap).

3) now when you need to change weapons, hit 1 twice, then 2

 

you will switch to both swords by hitting 1 twice, then 2 will replace 1 of these weapons with the enchanted item (my dagger).

 

let me know if thise helped you guys enjoy 1/2 the game...this is really doin me dirty as i made a ninja kinda class, that relies on life absorb on quick attacks for his defense, with light armor

 

note,*there is a hotkey pattern that breaks this....but its really not too hard to avoid it (wayyyy too blazed to get details on this at the moment)
