Loadout

I believe that there is a lot of room for improvement on the Skyrim interface. Just take a look at one of the biggest mods SkyUI which enhances almost every aspect of the Skyrim interface. One system that has been bugging me for a long time is the favorites system and in my eyes, it could definitely be improved. Changing my weapons in combat is so unintuitive when you want to equip two different items in your hands. I find myself equipping weapons and spells manually through the favorites menu or the inventory menu far foo often. It is not only troubling to perform these repetitive tasks, it also breaks the intense action when you have to open a menu in the middle of a fight. I enjoy putting my carefully collected equipment to their fullest potential. My Necklace of Haggling comes in handy when bartering with my friend Belethor in Whiterun and my Iron boots of Forging make sure that I\'m able to forge the finest swords in all of Skyrim. Equipping my bartering outfit or my smithing gear through the apparel menu is a task that I would rather avoid. So I started thinking of ways to improve the existing favorite mechanics. What if you could equip entire outfits complete with weapons, spells and shouts instead of single items? Loadout allows you to do exactly that! Check out the video by Brodual below or alternatively from insane0hflex to see Loadout in action: YyH4vrve1io Loadout is as of 13 April 2013 featured by Skyrim GEMS which, in essence, means that it is a good plugin. Usage My intentions are to make Loadout as efficiently to use as possible. This is why I have chosen to use hotkeys for saving and restoring loadouts. I will use the term loadout to describe a complete set of apparel, weapons, spells and shouts. There are even some hotbuttons if you will when you use a controller! The keyboard hotkeys work as well when playing Skyrim with a controller mode. There are 10 loadout slots available and they can be used through the number 0 to 9 on your keyboard. So to store your loadout in slot 2 press ALT + 2. To equip the loadout stored in slot 2, simply press 2. Slots 1 and 2 can be used as well if you have a controller. Holding the right thumb stick while pressing the left or right arrow button saves your current equipment in slot 1 or 2 respectively. Pressing the arrow buttons without holding the right thumb stick will restore the items. Note that it is possible to use your keyboard in combination with the controller! I recommend to plan which loadout slot you will use for what purpose. This makes sure that you use Loadout to its fullest potential. It provides so much flexibility that you can get very far with a little creative thinki
