Why no quivers?

[Banestaff]

Seriously, it was irritating enough in Divinity: Original Sin that there were no quivers when a bow was equipped. Would it really be so difficult to add a quiver when wielding a bow? It just looks kinda dumb without one. I know it seems like such a minute thing to feel strongly either way about, but quivers look super cool.

No they pull arrows and bolts out their arses

You don't need them. It's far simpler to implement it into one universal inventory system then making multiple inventories which just adds needless complexity.

I think he just wants the visual representation (bow equipped? -> also show a quiver), not necessarily the inventory item. Which proabably also adds tons of clipping issues with armor, cloaks etc...

I just want the cosmetic representation.

Perhaps some modders will add them (happened like this in Neverwinter Nights, Skyrim)

Magic quiver.
Anyway, the hollywood back quiver doesn't work in real life, when moving over rough terrain arrows would just bounce out of it and end up all over the ground; a right pain in the backside for any archer. A leg quiver works a little better though back when skilled (real skilled, not the target shooting they call skilled today) an archer would hold arrows in his off hand loosing about 2 or more arrows a second, with exceptional accuracy.
For battles like Agincourt archers didn't use quivers either, they stuck the fletched arrow shafts into the ground and fixed a broadhead, or bodkin (taken from a special pouch) and attached it to the arrow using either wax, or spit; whichever was available before firing; inertia kept the arrow head on in flight and pulling the shaft would leave the head in if someone was wounded.

TL;DR, archery isn't like you see in the Hunger Games. Back quivers are useless.

Been practicing archery for a decade, believe me I know the drawbacks (no pun intended) of a back quiver. But they look really neat and aren't as useless as you think. Perhaps not ideal in the heat of battle but carrying a dozen arrows in your draw hand while wandering around the world isn't very practical.

Bump cause, I too would like to see this!
