I went to improve some weapons, and I was sorting through my list when I noticed a symbol next to a weapon's name. It was green and it looked like an arrow with some sort of vines or swirls around it. What does this mean? Oh, not sure if this matters or not, but it was the Axe of Whiterun.

The old Revenant game had its share of bugs. Some of them were non-critical, but annoying (e.g. if you had a mana-boosting item equipped, after loading a save the mana pool state wasn't restored correctly). However some were bad to the point of being game-breaking: namely, combos and item inter...
