No worries Nick, I think it boils down to my game OCD, especially when I play Beth games. Everything has its place and how it should look and feel. You can imagine how much time i spend in the workshop or previous creation kits. Things have a place, and for me my guns are missing when im in 3rd person view. Previous point was a good one too. I have countless times already drawn my weapon to then discover it wasn't what I thought it was.

On the immersion side though, I'm loving the accompanying Pip Boy app. (No I aint got the whole wrist thingy lol) but that app does add to my game satisfaction.

Anyway ya'll, I got to drive home now so have a good weekend exploring

But it's not really realistic to be carrying 10 weapons and only see one of them either

their will be a mod to implement visible holstered weapons in the future im sure, hopefully the mod will make its way too consoles to becuase i like seeing my gun on my character.

Weapons and packs on characters in 3rd person are nice touches that are satisfying for me. I can live with weapons floating/clipping if I can see that cool weapon on my back as I strut the wasteland. Looking forward to the mods. Get going modders!

Well, it can look cool. But I certainly wouldn't call it a "nerf", since it's not making some gameplay skill/weapon/numbers weaker.

(I wonder the removal is a combination of "wow, stuff clips like heck with our new wiggly clothing/skirts/etc" and "you know, that looks kind of silly with the gun just floating there next to your belt.")

I don't know about other people but I get attached to my characters, and my primary weapon is a large part of what defines my character. To have a visible representation of this on my PC is important to me. It's absence is not game breaking, but I can't not notice it's missing.

It's like adding clothing to me character but the entire game he's displayed wearing the 111 jumpsuit.

Lol JRPGs...
