Sword stays in scabbard when I am attacked

I have restarted the game but problem remains - the only time my character pulls his sword is in training. When I am attacked by bandits or the guys in Reek/Hynek’s cave my sword never comes out. I have the same problem (I think) with not being able to use a torch.

You need to select the weapons to use. - Once selected they will have an asterix on them and will be drawn with #1 (Sword (or equivalent - Axe/Mace), Sword & Torch, or Sword & Shield, or just a Torch), or #2 (Bow & Arrows - you need to equip at least one arrow in order to use the bow at all).

Once equipped both tagged items will be used until you untag one - so if you want a torch and no sword (to comply with lighting rules after dark in the villages - no weapons and a light visible), you must untag the sword before drawing your “weapon”.

There are arguements that could be made about how this isn’t as intuitive and flexible as it could be.
