NPCs also get the weapon surfing bug?

I'm playing through the Summerset questline, and I'm getting really distracted by the weapon surfing bug. Specifically, the Golden Knight's got it, and it doesn't seem like Dawnbreaker will ever return to his hand.

The story does revolve pretty heavily around that weapon, and yet I'm never seeing any more of it than a little glow on the ground under his feet. Every animation he does (putting it on his shoulder, raising it to clear the darkness, etc.), he does with an empty hand. Done several quests over several days, but Dawnbreaker's permanently underground no matter what.

Is anyone else noticing this, or is this just my account/character that has this issue?

    Yes i noticed it , but tbqh i was so enjoying the quest/storyline i didn't think twice about the bug.

    Just a typical Art Department rendering type bug maybe i dunno , but most likely very low-priority (aka non "gamebreaking" ) .

    p.s. Not sure about you (or the other people in the other similar thread) but personally i do NOT use any mods nor add-ons. Ever. So it's probably not related to add-ons, imo

    Yeah, I've seen the player weapon-surfing bug but I've never had it myself. Still, haven't seen many people talk about it on an NPC before, and definitely not with a weapon that's as critical to the story as Dawnbreaker. And the fix methods of /reloadui or un/reequip helm don't really help since it's an NPC that's got it and I can't exactly tell him to reload his UI.

    Also note that it's only the Dawnbreaker weapons doing it. The Knight's sword when he doesn't have Dawnbreaker was showing up correctly. And to make it really fun, the corrupted version was doing it too:

    In the fight against Nocturnal's Earl, she dual-wields Duskbringer and a nameless sword. And here, she only visibly had the off-hand sword equipped during the fight while the little purple glow at her feet was the only clue that Duskbringer was there.

    Pity, since the Summerset story (the whole Daedric War line) was really cool, and the fact that one of the central artifacts was missing in most of the cutscenes was more than a little distracting.

    On a different but related topic, Dawnbreaker outfit style page when?
