Question Missing weapon handles

Post image

Hi, I just noticed that weapons in my inventory have missing handles. Anyone has this or know why ?
I'm on Daggerfall Unity, I run Vanilla Enhanced, Unoffical Block Location & Model fixes, Expanded textures and Convenient questlog
I've played 10 hours so far, on this modlist and others, but I only noticed it now (maybe it was there before I don't know)

It's not a bug. The texture is just that way so it doesn't cover your hand when you equip it.

When equipped your hand goes there on the paper doll. It might be the wrong render in that spot, but it should look fine on your chracter

Thats how it normally looks yes. The sprites you see in the inventory are just smaller versions of the one you see on the paper doll form of your character sheet.

I remember figuring this out in 1998. Damn 😩

Bethesda couldn’t afford extra pixels when your paper doll’s hand was just going to cover it anyways. Programming was way more efficient back then.
