Dropping an item?

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 3:35 am

I hit the "R" key to drop stuff in my inventory and nothing happens?

I went to remap what key it is in the "controls" section but it's not changeable? I don't see anyone else with this issue either. :/

Whether I equip or unequip something it does nothing. If I hit "q" for favorite that button works along with assigning items via the mouse 1 and mouse 2...

I'll keep messing with it nut I have too much stuff and of course can't run. It's getting old. ;)

Try pressing F. For me R and F have changed places.

I just noticed "E" to equip doesn't work either. Will try F.

To drop something you have to use whatever key you have mapped to 'Ready/Sheath Weapon'.

Aha! This did it. Thank you sir. The stupid game is still telling me to hit R to drop an item even though I changed the "Ready/Sheath Weapon" to the keypad 0 button at the beginning of the game. Now I can run again. ;)

No need to thank me. I'm just another Dragonborn trying to make sense of this silly interface. :teehee:

I remapped draw/sheathe to a mouse button. "Oh, well just click that then" you say? Well, apparently if you remap to mouse4 you can drop nothing. Moving things over to a container works though. With R.

On a similar note, remapping your 'Toggle POV' also controls what button you use to set your favorites. I had this mapped to my middle mouse button, it would toggle the view, but wouldn't set my favorites. I don't know why being a mouse button should make a difference, but it does.

I still can't get this to work. In what window should I be in to drop? In other words, should I just be in game with the item equipped or do I need to be at the item select screen? I'm confused and just can't get an item to drop.

Thanks -T

You need to highlight an item in the Items menu and press 'Ready/Sheath Weapon'.
