Sheathed weapons

[✪ ReVaN]

Man I really like how the game looks buyt the fact that you can't see your sheathed weapons in an RPG game really puts me off. Any plans from the Dev's to implement this feature in the future? It's a single player game afterall and it's 2019.

This reminds me of Morrowind. I remember one of my favorite mods, early on, was one which made sheaths for your weapons and showed them connected to your waist when not in use. You mentioning it's 2019 brought that memory back, because a mod in 2003 added such a feature to a game made 18 years ago.

It wouldn't bother me, but I can see how it would irk you. Keep in mind these are European devs, and they generally are more focused on mechanics than they are style. Unlike north American devs that care more about looks and style than mechanics.

Agreed, it's one of the things that bother me most.

Weird, it's not like it's a complicated feature to implement.

no archery, no sheathed weapons, no open world, no crime system....no buy

It's a detail I will miss as well. My guess is they had clipping issues with those detailed costumes.

well you know.. bows are ancient technology.

Yeah, that's bugging me quite a lot as well. I remember someone mentioning the devs would "fix" this when the game releases but who knows.
From the videos I saw, it appears that NPCs sheathed weapons are visible so why not your character?

If i had to guess, i would say that only non fighting npcs have sheated weapons that are visible, because they are static meshes attached to their armor.

I was just watching Twitch, and in the controls there is a Sheathe button....

Yes, but if you sheat your weapon, it just disappears, it doesn't remain on the side of your character. That's what we are talking about

LOL. Back in the day, story and game play was important. :)

I found the video where one of the comments mentioned what I said, scroll down to the 13th comment by "TheJohnkol". They say it's just an early developer build. So there is hope, I guess. But that would mean all the youtubers/twitchers/whatevers are playing the early build as well.

It is (and it looks promising in this department) but immersion is just as important and it's just weird. Also, even Gothic 1 had visible sheathed weapons and that game is ages old. I can't even think of a RPG right now where you your sheathed weapons just become invisible.

yes i have wathced a full playthrough(the first 20min now) and the companion with the bigh 2handed sword has his sword on the back... i dont know what the reason for this eventually only 2handed weapons will show on back... like rifles or swords or hammers for example

Why should a 2019 game remind you of an old ass game like morrowind,you have too ask yourself this?
