If trying to equip something in Oblivion Remastered just tosses it on the ground like you’re rage-quitting fashion, you’re not alone. Here’s how to stop your hero from being a clumsy mess.

Quick Fixes for the Equip Bug

• Toggle Sprint On/Off
  Exit your inventory, turn sprint on, then off again. For some reason, this resets whatever weird mood your character is in.

• Press Shift a Few Times (PC)
  The game might think you’re holding Shift (which drops items). Open your inventory and tap Shift a couple of times to snap it out of it.

• Sheathe Your Weapon
  Press F to put your weapon away, then try equipping items again.

• Restart the Game
  If all else fails, do the classic: save, close the game, and reload. It’s not elegant, but it works.

Final Blurb

Oblivion Remastered likes to remind you it’s still a Bethesda game—bugs and all. Thankfully, fixing this one doesn’t require magic, just a bit of patience and some button mashing.
