Summary

0004271: Misleading error message when player is unable to chop corpses because of a shield

Description

Acquire a 2h bladed weapon (halberd). Equip a 1h non-bladed weapon and a shield. Get a corpse, attempt to chop it. You get the message:

"You don't carry any weapon you could use for butchering."

It should probably be changed to something along the lines of "Your shield prevents you from butchering."

Notes
(0013833) zorbathut (reporter) 2011-07-16 18:45	It occurs to me that this may be irrelevant with the bootknife changes in 0.9. Your call on whether it's worth fixing.

(0013834) brendan (developer) 2011-07-16 19:00	Butchering has been overhauled to utilize an implicit butchering knife. This issue should not occur in 0.9.
