Infusion of featherweight issue

[Terragor]

It would seem, to my dismay, that infusion of featherweight has become completely useless. My usual weight max with my current equipment and such is about 174. As I fight in the spidercaves and I get close to my max weight limit, say 173, I will come across another small shield, which only weighs two. This means that I should be able to cast infusion of featherweight once and pick up the shield, since the spell reduces an item's weight by 3, correct? It doesn't help. I've even tried using vigor and strength boost spells, which should increase my weight carriage. However, it does not seem to have the effect it once did. I've looked all through the Game Changes section to see if maybe I've missed something, but it would appear that I have not. Is there something else that I'm missing or is this a real problem?

Based on an earlier thread about this issue, it is my understanding that this bug will not be fixed. In addition, both featherweight and Cory's Burden will be removed from the list of spells/blessings. Don't know the timeframe of this though.

Again, this is just my opinion based on conversations both in and out of game. So, I have been operating as if they don't exist right now, because essentially they have no effect currently.

Here's the previous thread, about halfway down the page.

I actually do intend to fix this bug. As well as an issue of light on items on the ground not showing up, but at this time those are both known issues.
