Sheath that weapon!

Please let us keep our weapons and shields in our sheaths or on our backs. Nothing looks worse than running around the town/city with your sword out? Who are you afraid of? This isn't UO with PKs everywhere...

 

I completely agree with you that we should be able to sheath our weapons/shield, especially since it's not polite to shop or trade with weapons drawn (unless it's a shady deal going down).

These little details make the world much more immersive.

 

I'm pretty sure that will be the case once the game is developed further!

 

Signed!!!!!!

 

If walking around town with weapon drawn you draw the attention of the local authorities, and affects your chars karma (consequence). Don't restrict via game mechanic.

 

+1 @Enceladus & @MontesquieuPaine

 

Agreed

 

every game ive played with the glacier engine has implemented weapon sheathing.

 

I know many games have made it so that having a weapon drawn effects how people react to you. Thinking back that may even have been in an Ultima game or two. I know Elder Scrolls games work that way.

On a side note, can we be sure to have weapon sheaths? not just weapons glued to a persons belt or back. Sure maybe lower quality weapons are held in place by a simple strap and the blade is left exposed, but I would expect high quality weapon to have high quality sheath.

 

+1 to this, with the added caveat that town guards will yell at you if you don't! Think Fallout!

This should be manual, like a key you press or what not!

 

PVE stuff. Sounds fine.

 

Totally agree, this sounds like a low hanging fruit.

@Grimkor wow I love this idea. Actual sheaths! I hope it would not be too difficult to implement this just as part of each weapon's wielding and sheathing animations rather than the glued to back or hip weapon. I am concerned about really bad clipping though, but that is more technical than I am capable of responding to.
