How about adding both weapons on characters for realism?

I think it would be a great idea on adding both slotted weapons like duel-wield and a bow to be visible on the characters.It would give stealth builds a more assassin look. I hope to hear back from the Developers and see this implemented in Elder Scrolls Online in the future. 
What do you think?

KiraTsukasa✭✭✭✭✭It's probably more trouble than it's worth. It might require changing the character skeletons to accommodate the different weapon combinations that could be done. And what would happen if someone has two bows or two sets of dual swords or something? Where's your realism when all your weapons clip through each other?
And besides, there are other things that need to be fixed in the game long before a purely cosmetic change should be made.2 -

I agree, so many strange things could happen, like many magix=cka users carry two staffs.. where do they go?- Veteran Combat Librarian -0 -

There's the difference between ESO and Skyrim. Skyrim mods are made by people who do it in their free time for something to do. ESO doesn't have access to mods so the ones that make the changes have to be paid. Like it or not, ZOS IS a business, so to justify doing something like this, there has to be a payoff. They aren't going to just make something just because a couple people want it.0 -

The point wasn't to say, "if they can do it in skyrim, they can do it here," it was a visual example to point out that, "hey, here's a thing that looks badass."
EDIT: Incidentally, the multiple weapons displaying at once was an engine function that got cut (because it's buggy on werewolves), and got re-enabled by modders. Still sad that the mod never got finished.Edited by starkerealm on August 22, 2015 7:26AM0 -

One at a slight offset from the other, so it looks like you've strapped two to your back. Alternately, a second weapon on the same class gets overwritten, so if you had two, you'd only see one staff. The other would be invisible until you switched. But if you had a staff and a bow...1 -
Dekkameron✭✭✭✭✭Lord of the rings online has all weapons showing on the character and works "ok" i guess.
This is a couple of screenies from a while back with a quiver, 2 x swords and a bow.
This combo of weapons doesnt really clash, but on some chars using for example a spear, shield, bow you get major problems (at least in it looking halfway decent)

Dekkameron✭✭✭✭✭Ah, found a piccy of one of my old chars with a similar configuration.
Hobbit hunter with a spear, bow and a one handed weapon. (plus quiver but that's cosmetic)

✭Unfortunately this has been a standard for TES games despite other games doing it quite successfully. It seems Bethesda and now ZoS are content with staffs and Claymores materializing from your characters back end rather than create something to deepen immersion.
Additionally if this was a TES single player game you could at least rely on the modding community to correct it. In the case of ESO, however, an addon will not be able to remedy this.0 -

Are you trying to say the whole host of skills we have at our disposal - like electricity shooting from our finger tips, isn't realistic? Or that Orcs, Elves etc don't really exist or ... OR there aren't giant beetles roaming around that breath fire?
Man, and here i was about to agree with the OP. You had to come along and spoil it.

Nighn_9✭✭✭✭✭I've already suggested this on ESO live and they answered on the show. They cannot possibly do it because of performance issues. Especially in cyrodiil0
