[MQ Spoiler] Dual-wield sheathing on back?

Paulington

Hey all.

Has anyone else noticed this:



It happened when dealing the final blow to Molag Bal and my dual swords sheathed on my back, so it's clearly possible! If @ZOS_GinaBruno or @ZOS_JessicaFolsom could get someone to look into this and maybe make it possible in-game? I remember a few people requesting this a whole ago but I can't remember the reason why it hasn't been implemented.

Cheers!

Keeping your swords on your back is not practical combat-wise, or safe, since it's on your back, therefore not visible

And yea the animation is there, sorcerers actually use the animation every time they do a crystal frag.

Who are you attributing that quote to? What does the visible part even mean? It seems like the drawing of the swords would be faster and more fluid if they're on your back. People carry rifles slung across their back. The only downside I could envision is reaching up above your head exposes your entire torso to projectiles, but if somebody is lighting you up with arrows or fireballs, your posturing in the one second it takes to draw is the least of your worries.

Whilst it may not be the most practical, it does look fantastic and would be a nice option to have.

Possibly even something like this for daggers too:



A bit of customisation with sheathed weapons would be fantastic. .

+1 this, I'd think it would bump into things if you had it on your waist, so if you were trying to be stealthy...

Of course its possible but its too much code to work on hmm and the laziness is strong.

I would prefer swords on the back of my characters for aesthetic reasons. Practical or not it just looks better. I wish for it everytime my sorc puts her swords on her back for a crystal frag.

Also... I would really like to have sheaths, but the chances of getting either implemented are little to none.
