Why am I snubbing the bow?
I have four favourites that are bound to hotkeys:
- Long bow (3)
- Iron sword (2)
- Flame
- Sparks
While I have a sword in my right hand and Flame in my left I can switch to the bow just fine by pressing 1, but when I switch away from the bow and back to the sword and Flame by pressing 2 my character apparently decides that bows suck and the hotkey unbinds.
I know that this is highly likely to be a bug. Why I ask is in case I am missing something obvious (or not-so-obvious) that's causing this that isn't a bug. Considering my opinion of the Skyrim menu interface so far, it's also likely that it's just me and Skyrim having a disagreement about how it's supposed to work.
Even if it's a bug, confirming the bug would also be helpful. Even better would be the exact configuration that triggers the bug and figuring out a workaround. I want my bow on a hotkey!
Solution 1:
Oh yes i had that one too. There is a simple way of fixing this... you have 3 bows of the same kind. Sell 2 and keep only one. If you hotkey with only one of a kind the hotkeys will work.
