LE Custom Magic Equipping/Combat(SKSE)

[ShadowEye31]

So, this will probably be an incredibly difficult project, but I figured it would be worth suggesting.

 

The idea is more or less a combination of Skyrim's and Oblivion's magic/weapon system, with a little of Morrowind. I liked how in Oblivion, you had your weapon/shield, and still could cast your spell via another button. It made being a spellsword applicable, since you could use all combat features and magic at the same time, without having to jump to the favorites menu/hot keys constantly to equip and re-equip spells and weapons. But I like being able to wield two spells at once. My solution was a 'toggle' key that would switch between your weapons and your spells.

 

For clarification, I'm not exactly asking for two weapon sets that you can switch between using the toggle, though that would work as well. My idea is that you equip a shield to your left hand, and then a spell to the same hand. You still have your shield out. Then, when you want to use the spell, you press the toggle and, without losing your shield, your right click will cast your equipped spell. Release the toggle key, and then right click goes back your shield. The same would go for the right hand in my perfect world, so you could dual wield and such.

 

Obviously, SKSE would be required, and the mod would be hard to code, but hey, it was worth throwing out there if someone wants a challenge.

The left and right D-Pad buttons never got used in the game, so those would be pretty good toggles for what you're talking about...

On keyboard there's probably at least 20 keys you could use lol

Great idea btw!
