MP Hand and a half weapons should default to two-handed attacks when a shield is holstered

[flashn00b]

This was how bastard swords worked in Warband and with the recent patch introducing more one-hand/two-hand weapons to the game, I feel like the current handling of such weapons is more detrimental than helpful, cuz switching from one-handed to two-handed is a two-step process (holster shield, press X) while vice versa only requires one step (equip a shield)

I've killed people because of this its quite funny but super annoying to be on the other side of.

This is now also affects smithing prices too. If this was actually to nerf smithed weapons its doing the wrong thing when the real problem is pointy sticks sell for the price of a castle.

Yeah agreed.
It's a waste of precious time and can get you killed.
I don't think there are any advantages to play a Bastard sword without a shield and one-handed. So going back to Warband's method only feels natural.
