Bug with hot hey // weapon swap feature

I have a flail ( foundation for knocking locks ) protector shield combo and astral blade//protector shield combo hot set for quick swap.

If all of your inventory is full I mean all 6 pages are full of stuff and there is not room for you items to swap out too the -

1. item being coming out of the slot falls to the ground
and can be hovered over but not picked up.

2. the shield that was the same for both hot keys stayed however
does not apear in your hand on the model and cannot be removed from the inventory screen.

( I curred this by swaping to bow which brought the shield to the back pack.)

Hmmm... I've never heard that problem. I often set up weapon switches involving 2 weapons or a shield/weapon swap. try cleaning up your inventory using bags of holding. One thing about weapon swapping i have noticed, it does not go back to the same place in your inventory it came from when you swap back out, i.e. back into the bag i pulled it from. wish it would :)

I don't see that to be a bug or a problem - it is up the player to manage his inventory. Sell some useless but pretty junk, and buy some bags of holding - end of problem.

colective did you read the issue or are you some troll who
idea of collaboration is to make inane comments about someone else style of play... ( some of us try to use the recall stone as little as possible i.e live of the land, rest when needs use potions and scrolls.. keep books to read about history and what not..

It is indeed a bug: the bug is not that the item came out of the inventory, that is to be expected but for it not to be recoverable is definatly a bug, and as a software programmer I can assure you that this is preciesly the kind of thing that slips through the crack..

^_^ HUK

No, we were trying to help you: Thats how the game works, the inventory is big, but if you don't have any room left in your inventory, you will obviosuly drop the items that doesn't fit into your inventory.

The bags of holding were obviously a small hint to let you continue your style of play.

The hovered over can be because when you swap weapons, the inventory change and you have to rearange your inventory for it to fit properly. No room big enough, no item picked up.

Not a bug in that case, just some bad programming, but don't mind us, ask Bioware instead, they made it....

Umm... perhaps in my pre coffee daze I was unclear, after discovering that I was full I stoned to the temple to sell and by, yes i have magic bags and bags of holding however I have also a 23 str so encumberment is not an issue.

****CLARIFICATION******
Once my inventory was cleared of all extranious items and I returned to the spot where it had dropped. I attempted to pick up the astral blade and return it to my weapon slot. However it could not be picked up, neither by opening inventory and dragging it to an empty spot... or by clicking on it with the inventory window closed. However I could mouse over the item and view its name, which displayed in a orangy color... and a hand icon would apear as if I should be able to grab the item.

I found it to be very frusterating not only was that worth 4k but the sonic damage is often the only thing that effects bosses.

I had the same problem Magnetism, I thought I had lost my sword for good. I left it were it was and continued to play after I quit the game and reloaded again later in the evening I had happened to go back were I had lost the sword and it was still there and I was able to pick it up. This happened to me again(daa)and this time I saved and quit and reloaded and was able to pick it up,but only after I reloaded could I pick it up.

Here too. You don't even have to quit. Reloading does the job.
