As far as scabbards go, would you actually be able to sheathe a greatsword onto your back easily? I would think the human arm simply isn't long enough, so you'd have to remove the scabbard every time you sheathe and unsheathe.

How would you solve the mage's staves and other two handed weapons then, I wonder?

Going by the E3 interview, that's very similar to what CDProjekt RED have done for Wiedzmin 2 when Geralt sheathes his blades.Garegaupa wrote...

Oblivion did it perfectly fine and that game is 4 years old. Common Bioware keep up with the times!

Unmodded Oblivion doesn't have sheaths, it has floating weapons like DAO, just held at the side instead of the back. It's less noticeable, but only because there are no cutscenes with different camera angles that would draw attention to it.

Staves: Either these could be constantly carried in the hand and just used as a walking stick when out of combat, or some kind of sling arrangement similar to what is found on modern day hunting rifles could be fashioned.
Axes/hammers/maces/etc.: Depending on weapon type and size, either a reverse version of the sword scabbard that I posted (i.e. with the head of the weapon up top) or a belt loop similar to this: www.mcguirenicholas.com/products-2005/52-08.jpg
Bows: Either just slung as they are, or in a scabbard similar to this: www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/bts-2360t.jpg
Crossbows: With a sling like a modern day rifle has.
This list is by no means exhaustive, it's just intended to present some ideas. With a bit of imagination I think most of these issues would fall into place.
Well, the Witcher does have scabbards (it was added as a mod for first game, and Witcher 2 appears to have that as default) It would be nice if DA had them too, if just as simple static part of the individual weapon models which remains on the player's back when the weapon is drawn.BlackyBlack wrote...
