So I had some fashion wars brainstorming this morning on how sad it is that shield covers character’s backpack in idle mode and how it could be fixed. It can’t be fixed on the hip, that would look silly, and slapping it on top of the backpack wouldn’t look good either, not to mention all the clipping. When suddenly I remembered my relatively recent days of Skyrim gameplay, where characters were just holding their shields all the time. So I got this weird unlikely-to-be-implemented-but-still-seemingly-reasonable idea, what if we do the same? What if devs just add an option to fix the shield on character’s arm instead of their back to achieve compromise, so that way we get to se both the fancy backpack ‘and’ weapon skins one has carefully mixed into their character’s appearance? It shouldn’t be in any way difficult with animations either.
