Weapon Stuck in Sheath? (Also crossbows stuck on back)

Hey all.

Downloaded the demo, seems fun so far, but I keep having the same issue. I'm obviously missing something.

Sometimes my equipped weapon (eg one-handed balanced sword) doesn't unsheath, and I get to fight with my fist instead. Also, cycling weapons won't let me pull out the crossbow either. It's a bit frustrating fighting bad guys with a shield and my clenched fist.

What did I miss?

Thanks!

seriously... what command are you using to unsheath?
 
Checked controls, tried both incarnations of the slash key.  :grin:

Edit: I can roll my mouse wheel, it will go through "Shield and fist" and "Nothing" combinations, but nothing else. (Also, I can see the crossbow on my character's back, and the sheath at my character's side).
 
Try changing the change weapons to Scroll up and down if that doesn't work then try changing the sheath/unsheath weapons to the "C" Key

If this doesn't help I have no idea... Game bug/PC bug

Hope I have been of some help.

Kind regards Yitue
 
Are you on horseback? Some weapons are not available on horseback, particualrly crossbows.
 
I think he would still be able to pull out his sword and slash one in the face then  :mrgreen: :wink:


BTW awesome signature Mabons  :wink: :grin:

Well it depends what sword really.

And thank Ruthven, the forum god of sex jokes.
 
Hmm.

Apparently mouse wheel up scrolls through the weapons in my inventory, mouse wheel down scrolls between fist and nothing...

one thing is your inventory. Another the weapons / shields you are carrying.
Make so that scroll mouse wheel up makes you pass from one weapon to another (carried weapons). And scroll down should be shield use / put away.

So make sure you have weapons actually carried by your character. In inventory screen is the middle slots while those on the right are just inventory. Which can be seen as the mule train that follows your party. Weapons there aren't immediately available to player. In battle you have to go where the chest is and open it to access inventory and pick up a different weapon your character isn't carrying.

You're probably using a two handed sword...So if you take your sword out(wheel up) and then try to take your shield out(wheel down)...you'll end up with a shield and your fist....and well...it wouldn't matter then if you're against a bad guy..a looter would pwn you..

If you're using them on horseback..only light/hunting crossbow would work..you need to be on two feet to use higher xbows than that...same goes with shield....Board Shield cannot be used on horseback...

edit: I assume you checked ddrake's post first...

By default... mouse wheel up is for weapons... and mouse wheel down is for the shield.
