Just wondering what the forum thinks, do you want your person to have a sheath/scabbard for the weapons? Also, were do you want your person to sheath their weapons on them? Finally, what kind of weapon, weapons will you be using? Any way, I'll probably either use dual wielded katanas or a dai-katana. I also would like if my weapons to have some sort of sheath or scabbard, and if I use dual wield, I want my person to put them on their back, in like an "X" shape. What do you guys think/want?

I think i will use weapon and shield, Sheath, and on the side, i thin on the side is more practical than on the back.

BTW, Dual wield Dai-katana, how the heck will you pull that off.

Didn't mean I'd duel wield it, meant I would either duel wield, OR use a Dai-katana, but now that you mention it........

I'll use a bow as my primary weapon set.
For my second weapon set, probably a longsword and some magic.

But, I'll definitely try different character builds and weapon sets.

For sheaths: I think sheaths are extremely important.
However, I wish that there was a sheath placement tool for your character (would probably only work for small weapons).
Say, I have a shortsword. Instead of having a standard on-the-hip sheath, I'd like the option to maybe stick the sheath on a leg, on your shoulder, at the small of your back, etc.
Just an idea...

good idea for the dagger, and you just reminded me, I forgot to put a "archer" option.

I like it, Dagger in boots :hubbahubba:

My first character will be a "one handed" one with a longsword and shield. I think that scabbards and sheathes should be included (only for swords) because as long as you're putting the weapon away, why not have it look more fancy? I don't think that they should be separate items from the swords themselves, however. I chose other for the last poll because I think that swords should go on the side, and big weapons like claymores and axes go on the back.

I'll use a sword in my main hand, torch in the other (Unless someone mods in firearms, then that goes in the other).

Second weapon will be a ranged weapon. Flintlock pistol (If it exists) is the first choice, then crossbow, or bow if they don't add either of those.

Tertiary weapon is a dagger, for those stealth kills.

Definitely should have weapon sheathing.

You should make the first question multiple-choice, like I did http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1163465-weapons-that-youll-main-character-will-use/.

For my main, it's dual axes or a really big axe. As far as sheaths and scabbards go, not sure where you'd put an axe, other than some strap. As for where, side for the dual axes, back for the big one.

Figured it'd be easier just giving the main thing (let's say "dual wield") then giving 2 examples and saying etc. so it sums up all the weapons in that group, and that way I don't have to think of all the combos.

Stinkin' Chosen and all your axe use. Burn in the fires of Sigmar's wrath!

Sigmar? Whoa whoa whoa whoa, too far in the past. I'm a 40k guy

I will use a one handed axe and a shield
just like i do in oblivion =P

I'll be trying Dual Wield first just to see how well it works. If it turns out I prefer sword/shield better as I did in Oblivion and Morrowind, I may switch back to that. As for sheathing, whether the weapons go on your back or side depends on the design of the weapon. Smaller, lighter weapons like Katanas should go on your hip (fun fact: IRL, Katanas were designed to be sheathed at the hip so that the wielder could draw and slash in one fluid motion). Larger, heavier one-handed weapons such as War Axes should be sheathed on the back because let's face it, having a gigantic Daedric War Axe dangling from your belt just looked awkward.

That does make it easier. I see your axe, and raise you a Holy Bolter, forged in the Emperor's name.

(I'm actually more of a 40k guy as far as miniatures, but I'm a WFRP fan, and that applies to these games a bit better for me.)

1st weapons group: Dual swords/ Sword + Dagger.
2nd weapons group (I hope you can hotkey them, a-la Dragon Age): Dual spellcasting.

All of that with heavy armor. Max attack + max passive defense.

Yup, and along with them being worn on the hip, they also had the curve of the katana(the blade) facing upwards, to make attacking in one motion easier, and in some cases, avoid a sword fight all to gather, and just kill the enemy by taking the katana out and slitting their throat. On that note, do you think katanas will be sheathed right if their on the hip, with the blade up? Be cool if they had a move where you just take it out and you could kill some one.

Mace, A big ol' armour negating mace.

I'm a swordsman myself. Haven't yet decided between a one handed blade or a claymore, but I've got 10 months.

Got to have scabbards! I'd like to see them on the side and back. What would be awesome is seeing all the weapons you have hot keyed somewhere on your person, so you could have say a dagger at your side, a longsword on the other, with a bow and quiver on your back. I don't see that being implemented though, but it would be cool.

Another thing, if you have a shield equipped, I'd like to see that being worn on your back when not in use.

There's already at leastr one thread about which weapon combinations you're going to use, but about the sheath thing one handed weapons should be eld at the side of the waist while most two handed weapons will be on the back.

I'll see you both with an Imperator class Titan. Feel the wrath of the Omnissiah!

....

I fold.

Back to the OT, I'm hoping they allow you to sheath multiple weapon sets at once. I'd like if I could have my sword, pistol (or... ugh... bow), and dagger all visible.
