I support floating over clipping, particularly if the clipping change for backpieces would also mean a change of the current anchor point for weapons – something I would love a clarification on, since it is what concerns me most.
I’d rather have my shield floating a bit further away than the default (which btw has been floating for years), than constantly be looking for the missing other half of my greatsword.
The weapon rotation and anchor points for legendary armor were the most welcome of changes when compared to the previews of the precursor pieces during the months before release.
Take a look at the attached screenshot to see a comparison of options and what a potential change could introduce. Also note that it is harder to notice a weapon or backpiece floating further away compared to the constantly obvious clipping, especially from the back angle which is the one used mostly by everyone.
The current implementation feels much more natural (and fitting to the “floaty” theme) than any other potential compromise that would introduce clipping – partial or otherwise.
