Weapons displayed in Haven ~ Purely visual.

So me and my friend had this idea.

While in Haven, each player goes around with their armour and a shield on their back. We thought, 'Hey, wouldn't it be cool if you could display the weapons you have equipped as well?'

So that's the basis of this. For swords, we thought that scabbarded or slung across the back would work, which can utilise, say, the Nightblade's visual scabbard, or having the Leviathan Blade slung across your back. For guns, they could be holstered at your waist. Bombs, I'm not so sure, maybe on the waist also, but on the other side. Obviously, for people with the extra weapon slots, and such, displaying four swords, or four guns on one knight would look ridiculous, so I thought weapon 1, as the default displayed.

Just purely visual, only to make it look cooler. Gotta say, would be pretty sweet.

Dat clipping

Imagine they did implement this. Now imagine an accessory where the sheathed weapon is supposed to be. Now imagine you are not making this face. Our knights would appear very bulky because weapons are not designed to be sheathed on our persons. It would also mean having nowhere to stand around and not have our weapons showing. Think of the sensitive children.

"Look cooler" is not a valid reason. "Look, a cooler" is not a reason at all, it is a direction to what is apparently a cooler.

Firstly, it would clip

Firstly, it would clip terribly. Even now back accesories clip with shields and if we would add weapons on top of that it would clip even more. Even if the weapons would replace shield they will clip.

Also it would be impossible to attach some weapons to our backs/side due to their size. It will look silly when you would have a weapon bigger than you on your back - suda on knights back. Same with guns, some of them are really big and attaching them to holster next to knights hip would be impossible. Rescaling weapons would look really strange.

Fair points

Yeah, I can see why that would actually not work too well...

Ah well, just a thought.
