At first I thought I was doing something wrong. But for some reason the shield just stops working. It was using the darts instead of using the shield but it looked like I was holding the hidden blade.
I started a new game and even before I got the hidden blade or darts the shield no longer works again. It looks like I'm holding the hidden blade but the shield will not come out.
Hey MIGHTY497400!
I can see that you have created another thread for this issue, therefore I will close this one and going forward, let's keep things in one place and proceed with further discussion in the other one.
