Dude, just strap the goddamn second weapon on the back of the character while while he wields the first one.

 

Modern FPS show every gear you have strapped into your character, is that so difficult for a multimillion budget RPG game to apply such concept?

 

I mean, Gandalf walked around with a staff in one hand and a sword strapped to his hilt while Legolas carried a bow and dual daggers on his back so you can't say it cannot be realistically applied.

 

Mass Effect 1 already had a specific slot for each weapon class so it's not something Bioware haven't done before with much less resources.

 

I say:

 

-Warriors already carry longswords on their hilts and shields on their backs, let them have a 2H sword or a crossbow strapped behind their shield.

 

-Rogues should follow Legolas example and have specialized gear letting them carry both a bow and dual daggers.

 

-Mages should carry one staff in their hands and another one in their backs, staves are meant to help you walk around instead of adding to the weight you carry, heck, they are even used for that in the main menu of DAI.

 

-Arcane warriors should be able to wield either a sword and shield or dual weapons while strapping their staves to their backs but not 2H because it uses the same slot.

 

In short, every character should have three weapon slots divided between two sets, one with two slots for single-handed weapons (I.E. Set A allows for swords, axes, maces, shields and daggers) and another set with a single slot for two-handed weapons (I.E. Set B allows for staves, great swords, great axes, mauls, bows and crossbows).

 

The problem lies in the swapping of the weapon. DAO made it instanteous which is simply not possible. Try getting a extra staff off your back while trying to replace the other one so you can swap again.

 

The same with sword and shield swapping with a range weapon. Crossbow is on back where does the sword in shield go if you swapping them for the crossbow?

If the enemy gets an attack of opportunity while the swap is going on I have no problem with it. The way it is implemented in DAO breaks all the physical rules even for a fantasy world.

DAO also had a cast time for every spell which they drastically cut down in following games. If we are speaking about reality, have you ever seen how fast soldiers actually switch their weapons?

 

Switching a staff for another, especially when you have functional magic, shouldn't take more than one or two seconds. What DAO lacked was a proper animation of the character sheathing their current weapon and drawing the other one because of graphical limitations at the time.

 

It shouldn't be difficult for Bioware to come up with such animation when Legolas and Gandalf pulled it with real life actors back at 2006.

Reaver, The only time I ever switch weapons was when I ran out of ammo for my M16 in a heavy fight other then that I stayed with my main weapon even though I carried two 45s for emergency use. I LMAO at those first shooter games where the PC is carry different types of weapons..

 

No,I don't play those games.

I thought this was going to be a thread about dual-wielding weapons for warriors. =/

 

But I'm for weapon swap as well.

 

i am for both !

I support it as long as they animate the attacks as it used to be in DA2. Fast, fluid and dynamic.

DAI's rogue clumsily shoves the blades into the enemy like an amateur.

So, mister soldier, care to tell how fast you can draw those 45s?

I sorely miss the days of my dual-wielding warrior switching to a bow for long range fights.  The restriction is preposterous in a Fantasy game.

 

Edit (Jan30):  Not having this is unfortunate.  However, the fact that this capability was available once, and is now gone, makes it a travesty.
