This is probably a really lame question - when i want to recharge my weapon, why does it only let me choose from three gems. I want to refill blade of woe with a petty soul gem (because thats all it needs), but it only lets me choose black, grand or greater. Am i missing something, or do i have to waste a large soul gem?

You have to scroll down to access other gems.

i tried scrolling down, it doesnt work. Everyone else can scroll down? Well, thats my luck alright...

yeah that's it.

don't be suprised if it takes a long time to reach the petty gems.

the soul gems are looked at in groups so keep scrolling down.

and whats also weird is that i sometimes have the option of black- common - grand. no scrolling avaliable either. *sigh*

Just pressing 's' key should do the tick.

k, thanks, i'll try that instead of the arrow keys.

Maybe there's a console command to map the "s" key to an arrow key.

In most lists, you should be able to use w and s to scroll, e to select.

smarty-pants.

Anyway, the 's' key works, thanks for your help. guess i have a bodgy keyboard.

glad it worked.

"s" for "scroll" FTW?
