Suggestion - Hide weapon

Heals_With_Orbs · 8:17AM

I know this has been mentioned many many times, but I'd like to suggest having the option to hide weapons.

I'm aware that others have suggested adding hand to hand skill line as per other Elder Scrolls games, but I've not heard anything from the devs about whether this is something they've considered. I think it would be a good addition to be able to have brawler builds, bare knuckle fighting in arenas or something similar or the addition of gauntlets that add something to the game as a compromise to not having an equipped weapon.

Even if its not ever going to roll as a skill line, can we at least have the option to hide weapons, similar to how we can hide helmets etc?

Here's another reason why I think this would be a good idea and that is because some of us like to make cosplay builds, and many of the characters don't stand there with a weapon, but of course, unequipping the weapon means you either lose a 5 piece bonus, a monster set, or cant use scribed skills like throw shield that certain superheros do, because they are tied to a weapon skill line, and.....Spidey is saying "Pleeeeeeese"

it would indeed be awesome to be able to hide weapons when stowed.

i also want an Unarmed or Hand to Hand skill line.

Wonder if the lore supports the either miniturization/stowage of inorganic objects, and/or summoning/storage into micropockets of other planes.

Would fix the monster hunter personality

I would love to be able to hide my weapons when out of combat, especially the Staves and Two Handed Swords. It absolutely ruins my characters' appearances to have a huge stick stuck to their back. What is even holding it there in the first place?

I'd like more options than just Staves for Magicka using characters, too. Things such as Orbs or Spellbooks. Or at least outfit styles that make them look like these things.

Yes, actually. Storage in pockets of Oblivion can happen for example. The NPC assistants that are daedra even point out doing so in their descriptions in the event of the banker NPCs.

Personally part of the reason I just got the Gloambound weapon pack from the crown store is because it has the unique property of being invisible when sheathed since it's basically the bound weapons from Skyrim, Oblivion, etc which fits for my caster and while it seems a little silly that they still put the weapon on their back or hips only for it to disappear, I figure it's basically just reflex.

For the love of all of the Divines, PLEASE, YES! I beg you.

And I say this AFTER having bought every piece of IceShard style and the Gloambound style.

I've suggested before because the combat animations for the melee skill lines already look great as distinctive unarmed styles.

They’ve long since fixed the bug that made your equipped and drawn weapons either invisible, or at your feet. If anyone remembers invisibly equipped may have noticed that the light & heavy attacks AND weopon skills looked like so many different kinds of punching attacks. Each stance was a different martial art; sword and board does jabs, dual weild does jab cross, two handed does double punch.

Hide weapons style page please, but only in PVE.

Wait, no, not style page: I just want ANY weapon style to be able to be hidden only while stowed and appear in hand when fighting.

Magic of course!

100x this!

I use Gloambound for hiding stuff right now, but it would be nice to be able to use any style and hide it.

That is an option for some but I hate glowing weapons. They should give us a toggle to "hide weapon when sheathed".

AlienSlof · 8:51PM

I agree totally.

Hide weapons is a terrible idea IMO. Others deserve to know whether you're armed or not. It wouldn't matter in PvE, but it would matter a ton in PvP. Hand to hand skill line would be fine, but we don't have that at this time. And if we did, I'd assume there would be some indicator to other players that's what was going on.
