Weapon Swap Not 'Unsheathing'

ADarklore

According to the patch notes, "Weapon swapping now automatically unsheathes your weapons before performing the swap." However, when I do weapon swap now, the weapon does NOT unsheathe at all- not until I activate an ability or basic attack. Out of combat currently, weapon swapping with unsheathed weapons results in both weapons remaining sheathed... even in the character screen, weapon swap now both weapons remain sheathed and the animation simply switches the attached weapon.

Perhaps the quoted Patch Note should be: "Weapons swapping now automatically sheathes your weapons before performing the swap." Or maybe it should read: "Weapons swapping now unsheathes your weapons after performing the swap." If it isn't doing the latter, then I suppose that it should be.

Unsheathing one weapon(s) before sheathing the one(s) equipped would be an error, i.e., a bug, because PCs have two hands, not four. The argument can be made that there is no reason for any weapon to be unsheathed while a PC is not in combat, so it should not be unsheathed automatically unless the PC is already in combat, or until the PC is entering combat. Regardless, a player can command a PC to unsheathe a weapon, and carry it unsheathed, at any time. I see that frequently. It looks ludicrous.
