Visible secondary weapons?

It feels really strange how you weapon swap the weapon out of your ass, makes no sense and feels strange. It would be a lot more consistent if we could see all equiped weapons on the character. Would that be hard to implement? IS there any chance?

    Funny you say that, I always thought the same thing too. I can carry two weapons but you only ever see me with one. That's one loose ass to be able to hide my entire inferno staff and swap it out at will.

    Honestly, with as much stuff as my Vestige is hoarding in her inventory, where the secondary weapon goes is the least of my questions.

    I want to know where the 10 Pact ballistas and 5 forward camps are hiding. Or maybe its better not to think too hard about that...

    I would just be happy if my bar-swap didn't cause both of my weapons to look like my vMA staff every time. My front bar is supposed to look like infal, not vMA. It is not so easy to tell what bar you are on in this game anyway as half the time a bar swap is canceled by some minor cc.

    Not incidentally, how about you make bar-swap go off every time when you hit it regardless of what else is happening. Not so fun to find out your on the wrong bar and casting the wrong skill because of some minor CC you didn't even notice.
    I am mostly pleased with the current state of ESO. Please do continue to ban cheaters though and you guys have to find out who is duping gold and how because the economy is currently non-functional.

    seems reasonable... some ppl like hiding staffs in their butt :trollface:

    Making a change, that the offbar weapon is always worn on the back, and onhand bar weapons are always in the hands may be a good change in terms of optics

    Dunno how it would be when you sheath you mainhand ...2 staffs on your back ?

    may be working easy with like DW / Bow, where the DW is sheated on the belt, and the bow on the back...double staff, like 2 staffs on the back...may look ridic, but why not

    2 staffs would look quite fun, like staff ninja mage but what the heck do we do with 2 shields?

    I am not opposed to this being an option.

    However, think of this... think of how much gear your character can carry, think of how much gear is in the craft bag, think of how much gear is stored in the bank (which is one guy when using an assistant).

    We have to suspend reality for these things to work, as with many things in such a fantasy game. Our characters do not even carry a bag, so where does all our stuff go? They just magic out a chest or bag and rummage around for gear that could never ever fit in it!

    So in my mind, its magic. Its a magic bag, a magic craft bag and the banker etc are using similar magic. The stuff gets stored magically and can be withdrawn as required... that is how I think of the weapons as well. Were using magic.

    But as I say, I am not opposed to having the aesthetic option available to show all weapons.

    i'd like a visible 2nd weapon but i want it to be an option.



    Nothing says i am stupid then having two staves on your back while rocking a bear mount. an option would be nice since this is really all about physical weapons rather than magicka ones.

    Or if you just want 1 weapon, then they should let you just switch the bar over but keep only 1 weapon.

    My stam elves use bow/bow. My magic elves use staff/staff. My tank used S&B/S&B So. . . no change needed here but wouldn't mind/care if there was an option to show other weapon when not in use for those who want it.
