magic while wielding a shield
i do miss i can use magic while i wield a shield from oblivion and i hope the next elder scrolls game has a shield which only has straps or straps and a glove so you can securely hold the shield while holding it up and have a open palm for some magic from all types

i'm sure there's a few than just me who miss the mechanic from oblivion and maybe have a few ideas how to use a shield and magic

What?, what have you been smoking, you can use a magic + shield combo just fine, what are you talking about.
then maybe i should've said sword and shield becouse of your misunderstanding and i believe you mean you use magic on the right hand as you have your shield on the left hand

So what are you exactly talking about?
Sword and Shield or Magic and Shield?

You can use sword while having shield out , magic while having shield out or even attack with sword while casting magic without any problems in this game.

Not sure what you on about honestly.

as you have sword and shield out you can't use magic unless you either uneguip the sword or shield to use the magic go on skyrim and try to use magic on your left hand while you hold the shield or on your right hand while you hold a sword you simply can't

Never played Oblivion, I assume? In that game, you don't really equip magic in the same way you do ad Skyrim. It doesn't take up a slot in your hands. You can cast a spell while both hands are equipped with something without changing them out.

Honestly it's not really that big of a deal, though, it's just inconvenient.
i have played oblivion i miss that mechanic as you can use magic while having a shield and sword out but not in skyrim i just can't which i don't understand why

Oh. Thanks for explaining.
Yeah i never played Oblivion before or even Morrowind.

Was planning to catch up and get those but never got around to do so :3
i do miss that mechanic and i do wish i could have that mechanic and i think instead of having dual wield without sword and shield we could have 2 of the icon and have one for each hand and the way to change it could be holding either left or right d-pad and pressing up or down of the D-pad

and for me it's sort of a big deal or they could have a conjouration spell which enables you to have a magical shield which gives you the ability to use certain magic spells same goes with the 2 handed conjouration spells and you assign some magic spells to you except other conjouration spells
