I just wish there to be many scenes were our PC's hand rest on the hilt.

i just wish to actually carry a weapon on the hip.

 

i mean, my height is 1.86 my arms are 1m or so, i have no idea how to draw let say a longsword from my back, not to mention two-handed sword.

Aren't they usually not in sheaths but rather just strapped onto your back and you don't draw them but circle them around your body?

this is also stupid. you need a firm grip on the handle of your weapon. you don't have time on attempts to catch your weapon on your back. also on a run, or march-throw a weapon will beat its owner in the back on each step.

 

by drawing a weapon from you back (or carrying your weapon there) is not only stupid and uncomfortable but also dangerous. because you are exposed during this process which is not fast, as result chances to collect your innards from the ground are much higher than actually arming yourself with a weapon and defend against the foe.

 

when you have a weapon on your hip, by drawing it you already making a defensive move for example.

 

i don't know from where this idea of carrying weapon on back came from, but i guess from the same direction as katana cult.

They were carried on the back only when travelling, if it hits you then you must have tied it wrong. Besides that, there is no use for it beyond looking "cool"

I think its been explained by devs before as a combination of things like graphic problems and resource allotment.  While agree that having swords and daggers on the back is pretty silly, I can understand why Bioware went for the weird, invisible back scabbards for the 2 handed swords, at least.  I mean, can you imagine what Fenris' animations would've looked like if he'd tried lugging, say, Hader's Razor around on his hip?  It would've been like, "Wait up guys, my sword belt has dragged my pants down around my ankles again!"

sure thing. or you know? even better. on a horse. why carry a sword on yourself when horse can do it instead? but when you are about to fight or you travel in dangerous zone? no. scabbard is designed to keep your sword, sharp, clean and to prevent hurting yourself.

 

attaching full lenght scabbard on your back for any reasons is just stupid. you can't draw a longsword in the scabbard from you back.

 

if you are some kind of ninja with short sword or a dagger, well perhaps it will work, but sheathing it back can be a pain. but you have to sacrifice something for the purpose of making less noise and be quick in your movements through the area.

Not everyone owned a horse, they're very expensive, big swords like two handers just fit comfortably on the back when marching somewhere allowing your hands to move freely, beyond travel however, it is indeed pointless. Daggers you can make an argument for but in that instance it would rather be a case of personal preference rather than practicality 

[Althix]

yeah sure if we are talking about single person. because after all it's a battlefield weapon. and by carrying it on the back you just make it easy for travel, but not for quick draw. if you are moving through dangerous area with potential battle or skirmish or even heading towards battlefield itself. i believe it's just wiser to carry such a sword like a spear, on your shoulder.

 

however, even if we can imagine some scabbards for a weapons in DAO, it looks so silly when let say Sten is drawing his sword, or Fenris trying to pull a piece of metal larger than he is.

[Araceil]

While longswords being stored on the hip is a definite improvement, i'm slightly worried that this will result in the weapon clipping through the floor when used by the dwarfs. Although greatswords might also have the same issue, unless weapon size scales with the user. 

[Schreckstoff]

It's been confirmed that there are actual scabbards in DA:I? Damn, if that's true then...that's a really good thing.

Haven't seen any actual sheaths so I can neither confirm nor deny that but what this thread refers to is simply the placement of the weapons when not drawn.

^ mmm. interesting channel thank you.

[Deflagratio]

Damn, spoke to soon. Scabbards by next game at least. Hopefully.

 

 

Cullen has one in this screenshot. My personal feeling is that this is just a unique asset to that armor though, but a small ember of hope remains.

 

 

It also looks like there's a hint of one on Cassandra in this other screenshot, but her arm is blocking where the guard would normally be, so it's impossible to tell if the brass/gold/bronze part is the an actual piece of the blade, or a half scabbard. There's seemingly some alignment issues (Shading playing a trick?) that hint to it not being a piece of the blade though... 50/50 I'd say.
