If you find any or have any problems, please post them here and I will try to fix them.

This is not an error.įinally, this is my first mod ever and I did my best to remove all of the bugs. If you then cycle your left hand queue, it will equip an item in your left hand which forcibly unequips your 2h weapon. For instance, if you equip a 2h weapon, it must unequip your left hand. Two Handed Weapons, Bows, Crossbows may only be placed in the right hand queue.įinally, there is some logic to the mod that may not be immediately intuitive. Torches and Shields may only be placed in the left hand queue

NOTE: There are some rules as to what items you can put in what slots. Once you're done, exit MCM and press the cycling key (which can be set on the 'General' page in MCM') for the corresponding slot and it will equip the next item in the queue.

On the page for each slot, you can choose what items to put in these queues and in what order.ģ. When done, go back into MCM to turn off assignment mode.ġ.Go to the MCM Menu 'Souls Quick Menu' and you will see there is a page for each of these slots.Ģ. The weapon / spell / shout you have equipped will now bind to the currently active queue slot.Ħ. Press the assignment hotkeys you chose in step 2. While in assignment mode, the current slot gem will be red, not blue, and you will not equip the items in those slots.ĥ. Use the normal cycling hotkeys for each slot to move the active slot. Exit MCM and equip the items you want to assign.Ĥ. I used L, K, and semicolon, but anything works that isn't already assigned to an action.ģ. Assign hotkeys that will be used to assign items to your left, right, and shout slots. Toggle 'Assignment mode' on the right side.Ģ. To add items to your queues, you have 2 options:Īssignment mode was made as an alternative to the MCM lists because sometimes not all of the users items and spells will show up in those lists. This mod adds a queue of weapons/items/spells for each of these slots. You have 4 equipment slots - your right hand, left hand, power, and an item slot.

Some of the bugs have since been fixed and there are new features that are gone over in the V1.2 overview video.įor those of you who do not want to watch the video, hopefully this will explain how to use the mod. With Souls Quick Menu, I can use every single one of these options without having to pause the game. I'll bind my sword, shield, healing, and maybe a shout or two to hotkeys 1 - 6, but the rest I'll have to switch to by pausing the game and selecting in the quick menu. Finally, I use mana and stamina potions when necessary (17).Ī playstyle like this, where I use ~17 different items and spells regularly, makes for many trips to the quick menu. On top of this, I am specced restoration, and have a whole slew of healing and anti-undead spells I use frequently (close wounds, heal other, stendarr's aura, vampire's bane, circle of protection)(15). I switch between two shields (9) and like to use torches when I'm in a dark dungeon(10). My character uses a sword and shield, and I often swap between my Ebony Mace(6), which deals higher overall damage, and Dawnstar(7), which is effective against undead. I usually have 5 or more shouts I like to use regularly, like Ice Form, Aura Whisper, Become Ethereal, Unrelenting Force, and Whirlwind Sprint(5). Using my current playthrough as an example, I'll count the different spells and items I like to use regularly. Hopefully, this mod will add some of these things to Skyrim by making combat less punctuated by constant trips to the menu system. This feature heightens suspense and forces the player to react quickly to changing combat situations, resulting in a challenging but rewarding experience. In Dark Souls, the user can never pause the game. This mod more or less exports the item menu from Dark Souls into Skyrim.

Souls Quick Menu aims to reduce trips to the quick menu and thus increase the fluidity (and fun) of combat by making more items available using a cyclical queue. This becomes particularly noticeable in combat, when the player must pause the game to open the menu if the item or spell he or she needs isn’t bound to one of his 10 hotkeys (0 - 9)(In reality, I never use hotkeys past 7, really). There are so many weapons, items, and spells in Skyrim that the player can become quickly overwhelmed and have difficulty managing them all.
