A quick question about Necromancy....

  • August 7, 2015 12:17 AM EDT

    So lately I have been trying to create a hybrid Necromancer/Warrior build. The only problem is that those I've resurrected never use weapons. Whether I reanimate a draugr or a bandit chief, they always fight unarmed. I've tried to experiment by unequiping their weapons and laying them on the ground, put they still don't pick them up and use them. One time I planted a weapon on their body before they were reanimated, but they still didn't use it. Is this just a bug, or is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Huh.  See, in my experience, placing the weapon back in the corpse's inventory always resulted in them equipping that weapon upon resurrection.  I wish I knew something more, but I've never heard of that method not working.

    Don't understand it mate when I kill something an reanimate it I pick up their weapon and give it to them while they are" getting up" so to speak never had any worries like that must be a bug or a glitch of some kind
