So for testing i throw my +3 broad throwing axes. then i pick it up one at a time and record what happened
I carry 3 sets of axes which are 1 slot with 2 ammo each. i feel like this could be a CLUE!
I also use a shield if that might affect it.
Threw 1 - return as normal
Threw 2 - return as normal
Threw 3 - pick 1 up, and it sheaths weapon. when i went to pick it up, i tried it in melee mode and throwing mode. both resulted in returning to my person (sheathed) and in throwing mode. which is annoying when in combat.
Threw 4 - same as above, but, i picked 1 up, changed to melee mode, then picked up the 2nd, and it sheathed it again and put it back in throw mode when i took it out.
Threw 5 - Same as throwing 4.
Threw all 6 - picked it up, but didn't go directly to my hand, had to take it out of sheathed mode. not sure if thats intentional... Then it did the bug when i picked 2 up.
I hope this makes sense (: ty for looking into this. it hurts my build / playstyle a lot
