Potential noob question...

I haven’t played Skyrim in years, and I just got back into it today. PS3.

Currently I am a Level 17 Wood Elf. Archery is at 25, Light Armor around 15, Sneak 15.

Problem: I cannot wield arrows. I have a basic longbow from Helgen and about 32 iron arrows. Both are “equipped”, as indicated by the arrow, but when I go to nock and arrow using R1 nothing is happening. I tried saving and reloading, and there was no change. Archery is the only combat I really enjoy, as I prefer sneaking up on everything.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. -Whitney

There is a cantrol menu as im with the new remastered version.
Toggle sneak by crouching helps make sneak shots easy.
Anyways hope your archery improves. Anyways good luck!

Not sure what Jonathan meant by his post, but in the Remastered edition of Skyrim, nothing has changed outside of visuals and modding capabilities on console. So your issue, from my point of view, seems to be some kind of unfortunate glitch.

For clarification, you can equip the arrows within the inventory, and it says they are equipped, but when you get back in game and you hold the fire button, no arrow shows up--correct?

Does it animate like there is an arrow there, but it's invisible, or not at all? What console are you using (PC, XB360/1, PS3/4, VR)? Are you using mods if applicable?
