Steed Stone equipped shield bug?

[ZombieInfected]

Orcish Shield weighs 14.

With Warrior Stone active, I currently have a carry weight of 398/410.

No changes in carry weight weather I equip it or not, just armor rating. (All fine and dandy)

Now, If I activate the Steed Stone I have a carry weight of 339/510, but equipping the shield my carry weight go down to 384/510 -14!

So carrying it the inventory is heavier than equipping it, with the Steed Stone ??

 

Is this normal? I think it's strange.

 

Edit: Just tested the Steel Shield - Same effect.

Am I really the only one experiencing this?

I find it strange, that a heavier shield lets you carry more, if you equip it.

 

Dual wielding shields would come in handy, if I need to carry a s**tload of stuff. :laugh:

The Steed stone adds 100 to your character's weight capacity and it makes any equipped armour weightless. Shields qualify as armour pieces so there doesn't seem to be a problem here. :happy:

Okay, well - seems wierd having it in inventory and then it's suddenly heavier than equipped.

 

Another strange thing though:

My follower had ebony gauntlets - I had some enchanted ebony gauntlets, which I wanted to give him instead.

I take the ones he have, but the enchanted ones are too heavy for him.

Okaaay, fine I think, he can have the old ones back.

Nope they are also too heavy all of a sudden.

 

At other times I can't run even though I have equipped my shield.

So I un-eqip, re-equip, un-eqip, re-equip and then I can run.

 

The steed stone is bugged, and I stopped using it.
