A needed feature.

I know this isnt relevant to everybody. But I have been playing this since it went on Xbox game pass. And i like it so much. I bought it there, and here. That being said. I find that there is one feature that is desperately needed. And its a way to set a quick swap with the LB button+another button. So that way you can be using your pickaxe ect. And swap to your main weapon loadout fast on controller.

I know its not that big an issue for m/k users. But on controller. If im using my pickaxe or something. And i get jumped by say a draugr elite 1 star, which happened. I have to use the dpad to move around on the toolbar and hit up on both my weapon and shield to switch. We need a quick swap for controller users.

Not trying to belittle or invalidate your feature request, just mentioning it.
Moving your finger to push a button, is much different than pushing a combination of like 6 presses of left and up on dpad to equip your weapons.

Could just change the 'show/hide weapon' key function to always draw the first weapon from the first 2 slots, plus a shield from the other slot if appropriate/available, so one press to put away your pick/hammer etc. then another press to be armed for combat. A blank first slot could signify default fists.
Exactly. It would benefit everybody. Not just controller users. The current system is just especially punishing for playing on controller.
