Q Hotkey Not Working Properly

[User13]

Guess I'm on a roll with topics today.  I probably should have put these all into a single HELP ME!!! topic, but figured maybe people would be more likely to respond to something they know about rather than just a blanket request for help.  In any case, my issue is this - My sneaky toon uses 2 Daedric daggers.  They are unenchanted so that he can use the Elemental Fury shout.  They are both favorited, and at first they functioned properly, meaning I could hit the Q key and one click would equip both daggers which would be displayed in the Q menu as Daedric Dagger l/r.

 

That all changed when I improved them at the smithy.  Now when I hit Q and attempt to equip them, only one dagger appears.  If I go into inventory and favorite both of them, then use Q, one of them disappears.  Going back into inventory shows that one has become unfavorited (is that a word?).  It does it over and over.  I can't keep them both favorited and if I need to equip them I have to go into the inventory instead of using Q.  Any ideas?  Sorta driving me nuts.

Do you use Dual Sheath Redux?

 

If yes, rerun it's SkyProc patcher. (has to be run any time you add, remove or modify weapons mods)

Nope, nothing like that.  The only mod I have that has anything to do with weapons is Immersive Weapons, but this was happening before I downloaded that in any case.

Are you using the geared up ini tweak, armed to the teeth, or anything that shows favourited weapons on your character?

Nope, nothing like that.  Other than Immersive Armor and Weapons, everything is vanilla.  Nothing that alters combat, or weapons.  Oh, I use SkyJubs Invisible Helmets, but can't imagine that matters.

Isn't that just the old vanilla bug? You probably notice in your inventory that they are stacked sometimes and sometimes not. This makes the game seem to forget that the favorite is actually more than 1 dagger.

If that's the case there isn't really much you can do about it. Other than maybe messing about with a hotkey mod afaik.

Or...  just not improving said daggers at the smithing wheel.

 

I ended up adding MHKP, and went sword (Lh) and dagger (Rh) and just hotkeyed the pair as a single button.... or just kept my daggers plain if that was what suited the character.

 

Edit: Most hotkey mods are HEAVY on the script engine though, so that may not be the best answer in your case.

Yeah, that's exactly the issue.  Known bug huh?  And no fix for it?  Sigh.  Thanks tho.  Perhaps I'll try a mod.  I've been meaning to check into a mod which will add a sheath for the other dagger, so maybe that'll fix it.
