So this is a bit of an odd problem I have but in game my "R" key and any command attatched to it like place something in a chest or put a ring in someone's pocket or create potion/ enchantment/ item just does not work. Obviously this isn't a keyboard problem and this problem came to be right when the game was installed so it isn't a problem with any mods I have. Until now it hasn't been more than a bother for me but now I want to join the theives guild, sadly to say I cannot complete the first quest because I cannot place the ring into the pocket of the elf. Also problematic is that I cannot store things in chests so I must resort to selling or giving away burdonsome items, or just using the consol to add more carrying weight. That's all there really is to it. If the only fix is to reinstall the game please tell me how I can back up saves. And as a last note I have the game working with steam, in case that is important.
