It will make your character look more natural.

Perpetuation✭✭✭Yes, it will make it look more natural.I think it would be a really nice feature, just like how you have your weapon on your back while riding your horse. It just makes more sense as opposed to pulling a large staff or sword out of your arse any time you weapon swap.1

C0wrex✭✭✭✭Yes, it will make it look more natural.Yea
Would look more badass with it "We are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will, to strive, to seek and not to yield."

KloudKotuzai✭✭Yeah, exactly. It would make you feel more like an adventurer. And if you do have 2 types of duel wielding, then they can be on you're back like the Breton in the cinematic.0

✭✭✭✭✭Yes, it will make it look more natural.Strangely, it's already in the game!
(I assume you are referring to weapons which aren't Staves, Bows, or Two Handers.)
It is possible but only through casting certain skills or the very rare bug that lasts for a second or so. Dual Wielded weapons can go on your back. Switch to a Sorcerer and cast Crystal Shards (with the cast time). Look at your character's back while you cast it. The dual swords will be crossed on your back!
It is possible, and should become available as an option to player.

✭✭✭✭✭No, I like my back the way it is.The only issue I would have is getting confused on what weapon I have active. But, I get confused a lot on that, so......Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Abeille✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Maybe, I don't really care.It depends on which weapon combo I have on that character.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0 -
idk✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Maybe, I don't really care.Don't see this as a big deal and near the bottom of any list based on priority. I see it creating an issue since where do my main weapons to when I'm not using them if my offbar weapons are on my back.0 -
clayandaudrey_ESO✭✭✭✭✭
✭I use the same weapons for both bars. That was not an option in your poll.0 -
Duffdin✭All backs should probably sport a backpack for all the stuff being carried rather than weapons or a shield...1 -
Saoirse_Siobhan✭✭✭✭✭Yes, it will make it look more natural.Yes, but with a toggle of course

NewBlacksmurf✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭No, I like my back the way it is.I don't because that's not realistic nor does it look cool IMO.
I'd rather 2 hand swords rest in a holster on my side and bows go over my should.
Staves should rest like 2-handers on the side too.
Unless artwork creates something the characters wear, nothing should ever be on the back because it's not easily accessible in battle like on the hip.
Just my point of view-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf
~<{[50]}>~ looks better than *5010 -
BlackSparrow✭✭✭✭✭
✭No, I like my back the way it is.It depends on the weapon. A staff or two-handed sword might look cool resting on the back...but they do that already when they're out. And then there's my NB who duel-wields light weapons for both her armor sets-- I'd rather her have the extra daggers stashed in thigh holsters or something, not stuck to her back where it doesn't make sense to store them.
Showing secondary weapons, I could get behind, but not necessarily on the back. That only makes sense for certain weapons.Edited by BlackSparrow on July 6, 2016 9:47PMLiving vicariously through my characters.
My Girls:"If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"
Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

KrishakPanettier✭✭✭No, I like my back the way it is.No. Seeing both weapons, one on back and one on side would confuse me, not know which one is currently active.

Ex_Draconis✭✭No, I like my back the way it is.No it's not natural to see 8 weapons on your back at once like in Last Of Us. Just the one your currently using on your back is most natural, it's fine just how it is.By forge and fire we prep for war

✭✭No, I like my back the way it is.This would look stupid with 2 staffs. It works well for Geralt with 2 longswords but wouldn't fit in with MMO weapons of various shapes and designs.Doncellius wrote: ». Look at your character's back while you cast it. The dual swords will be crossed on your back!
That happens when you put the finishing move on Molag Bal with dual swords equipped.0
