Draw weapon when using spells?

Cladius30 · November 2015

Is there a way to disable this or maybe someone knows of an add on to not have to draw my weapon when I just want to use a spell?
for example. I finished a fight and want to heal myself but I still have to pull out my weapon for some reason to use the spell?

Would result in breaking something in the process of implementing it I suspect.

The game mechanics make it so your spells are empowered by the weapons you use, so it wouldn't make sense from that perspective. But mainly it's to identify combat states.

It could work for certain spells in theory, e.g. Rapid Manouver can be used whilst on a horse without a weapon being drawn. It should be a reasonably simple thing to do then to flag certain spells to be able to be used like this.

Unfortunately, ZOS has a history of implementing an easy fix that ruins something very badly (I could see them accidentally adding this to a spell like Crystal Frags so Sorcs could somehow use it whilst on a horse...).

But sadly, casting the Maneuver out-of-combat while walking, results in an unsheathed weapon, which I have to sheathe first to really improve my speed. Weird.

Some skills already ignore unsheathing when used. Off-hand I can vouch for Obsidian Shield but beyond that I know there are more but I'd have to identify and verify them lol

Basically though only buffs should be allowed to be used without unsheathing. Anything else would be ridiculous to say at the least.

You mean like in Morrowind?
