Animation Issues - Why Do Weapons Still Vanish

Ok.... seriously, this issue has bugged me for a Looooooooooong time and with every chapter I secretly hope that they would address this issue but time and time again I am disappointed. Why in Oblivion do weapons still vanish with certain skills activations?? Like seriously, why is this a thing?

For me, immersion is a major factor in my enjoyment of a game. Which is why I just cannot play a Warden because nearly HALF of their skills makes their weapons vanish upon use. Their main healing spells, the Artic Winds one... i just...... *head desk* And what's worse is that if you use them while blocking, is that the weapons DONT vanish! So it's not like it's impossible right? But I dont want to hold down block for every. Single. Cast.

Please, please look at this issue. I want to play Warden, I really really do, but the OCD in me is just too strong to do so.

    The animation uses the hands in a way that would either put the weapon through the body or just look really wrong.
    That's why weapons vanish, because you really wouldn't like it if they didn't and you ended up like Primate Artorius in Kvatch. :p

    I have only seen that be an issue in.... one maybe two animations. And tbh I'd rather that than the entire weapon just poor. It's bad enough this game uses a weapon swap system where one weapon set vanishes completely but my goodness I cannot find a better mmo right now... lol

    If you're using a bow, shield, or staff, a lot of animations would have clipping issues.

    Zos should look at how throwing knife works and think about how to best make weapons visible for skills that make them dissapear.
    It is so ugly
