Weapons change.

Who is sick of bringing up the favorites to switch weapons or quaff a potion on the PC version?

Please give us hot keys to switch weapons and assign to potions etc for the PC in future. It isn't hard to assign primary/secondary weapon set to keys 1 and 2. Switching from Bow to swords mid fight with the favorites is a PITA. Can't we have a hot key assigned to positions in the favorites and then assign a weapon combo to it?

Key 1 (Assign primary weapon - Sword/shield or dual wield or two handed etc.)
Key 2 (Assign secondary weapon - Bow, dagger etc)
Key 3 - 0 Assigned to potions/poisons/spells etc

Alt+1 or Alt+2 to assign the current weapon set you are holding to the key. The rest can be done via inventory, highlight item, Alt+[numeric key] to assign.
Maybe 8 small icons along the bottom of the screen to show what item is assigned to what key from 3 to 0.

Favorites can still be an option for other items.

What he is trying to tell, make hot key that "Remember" both left hand and right hand setting with 1 single key mapping.

Current system can only map 1 weapon to 1 hot key number. Try equip 1 hand weapon with 1 spell on left hand, then press another spell hot key, see which hand will equip the new spell? you unequip your weapon replaced with the new spell! In fact, actually i have my left hand equiped a spell, if i want another spell on left hand, i got to use the favorite menu instead of hot key. There you go, this is quite a terrible game design.
