Hi and hello every TES: Skyrim fans. As the topic says: Dualwield..? Im an old Oblivion fan and I remember clearly how we as players had to lean on the awzZzzZzzome (note the many and capitalised zZ!) modders of that game for dualwielding combat. Oh, and I think I used almost every dualwield mod thats been out there. They where great... but since Oblivion wasnt supporting dualwield, some stuff where always quite stiff or not really working. Like for example the sheathe animation did not exist if I remember correctly; The second weapon did not appear on the characters waist when sheathed; We had to use special mods for dual animation attacks or else the second weapon would just work as a shield; etc etc etc. So when I heard that Skyrim would have dualwield in it... insta <3
But the year, the month and the day 11 11 11 I played the game and directly noticed that SUUUURE it had some great and awsome fighting animations; mindblowing killing animations and stuff like that. Yet STILL the weapon didn't show up for me on my characters waist, nor no sheathe/unsheathe animation. But but but since as I said Im a Oblivion fan (and now a Skyrim fan) I thought bethesta had just skipped that part about the dualwield - not thinking that it was to important - I just ignored it and kept playing, PRAYING that one of the awzZzzZzzome modders out there would fix the small yet nessesary (atleast for me) stuff about the dualwielding in Skyrim.
Then one day I saw it.... I read it... and it destroyed my dualwielding experience in Skyrim. I saw it when I was searching for a good Skyrim pic for my computers desktop. The picture was of a rogue-ish character with TWO weapons showing on his waist... First I was sceptic and thought it was some modified picture. But no, oh no it was the real deal. Ingame photo of the character having two weapons on his waist. I checked the website the picture was on and there he had typed about him noticing that in his game the second weapon did not show anymore, and wondered if anyone knew a solution to his problem. Of course no one knew a solution to the problem since most people (like me) didnt even know that the second weapon would show up at all!
Now anyway... some more blah-di blah-di blah and the background story done!
Now to the point of this post:
ANYONE know ANYTHING about a fix to this problem? And or if Bethesta already know about this and are trying to fix it? Meaning: Are they trying to fix the no animation (second weapon just pops up in the hand of the character and then dissapearing when sheathing the weapons) and the "not-showing-on-the-side-problem-that-irretates-me-to-the-death-problem. Hm? Yes a lot of excessive use of the words "problem" and "second" in this post.

Edit.
Hehe forgot to mention the hotkey bug... anyway just read this fellows post http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1316690-fix-the-dual-wield-hotkey-bug-already/page__p__19797948__hl__dual+wield__fromsearch__1#entry19797948

Yeah, that kind of bugs me too. Not nearly as much as it apparently does you, though. I like sneaking and using my Deadric Dagger in one hand and my gift from Astrid, her Blade of Woe (the one that I slit her throat with) in the other hand. I too wished they both would be sheathed and shown when not in use. Your post is the first I've ever read that states that it's even possible. So, lets hope it's just a bug and will one day be fixed.

It's unlikely to get fixed. If you look closely you sheath both weapons in the one scabard. :confused:

Wait until you see bugged sheathing/unsheating animations of daggers.
