1.6 Aesthetic/Immersive Weapon Swapping
Good day,
I would like to see an option which would allow the player to toggle their secondary weapon to show on character. If you had two staves, they should both show. If staff and bow, or dual wield/bow, etc., all should display on character. The only exception that might be useful would be those who wield sword and shield on both bars, as the appearance of two sword/shield sets (and possibly two dual-wield sets) might be so clunky as to outweigh the immersive benefit. In any case, I imagine having two sets with the same weapons slotted would still appear reasonably natural.
I would personally love to see this implemented as an option in the UI, much like the 'hide helmet' option. Those who didn't like the feature wouldn't be forced to use it in PVE. However, I would suggest that it be required in Cyrodil as a means of revealing the weapon strategy of your opponents. I see this as a means of adding realism reasonably.
It find it immersion breaking to see my sword and shield disappear and my bow appear out of thin air.
Thank you for hearing my suggestion. Please keep up the good work!
John
