dodolodo Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 So, I've been into dark souls maybe for a year. Game is fantastic and all, probably one of the best of the generation, but it has its flaws, and this one bugs me more than anything in the game. Lets say you are playing with a greatsword, the bastard sword for example, you just defeated a boss after a hard battle and you go to firelink shrine to iddle a bit while you rejoice over your own awesomeness, maybe talk to some npc or whatever you do when not fighting, then you notice your weapon is out even tough the battle is over, in fact, its always out, why can't you sheath it? yeah you could simply unequip all your weapons, but that's not the idea, it takes a lot of time to remove it and then search for it again everytime you want a moment of peace, besides, what you want is to sheath your weapon, like in the cutscenes. In fact, if you two-hand your bow when assigned to the left hand your right hand weapon will be sheathed, but then how do you holster your bow? Sheathing is also an aesthetic element, specially important in an RPG game, where personal preference is everything. I'm usually not concerned over these minor flaws in games, but lack of a holstering mechanic is unacceptable, could someone just bind a key to to it? maybe press ''T'' to holster right and left hand weapon, press again to unholster, like fallout. I'd do it myself if I knew anything about modding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiancoAngelo7 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Your idea has been a dream of mine ever since day 1 of playing Demon's Souls....I seriously don't understand why they leave this out of the game, especially when the animations and textures etc are all done for it....just bind it you silly devs go**amit.....

Kaffeebohnson Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 It would be a nice touch, that's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 You could leave one slot empty, since by default you have two slots for gear for each hand. Then you could just switch the slot in-game. Ofc that's obvious and not what you're asking for, but I don't think mods requiring much coding are plausible in Dark Souls. Maybe in a few months somebody will prove me wrong, but so far textures and things handled by wrapper .dlls are all that's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's was said somewhere that thay considered adding it but the controller didn't have enough buttons so they focused on more important things. Not surprized they didn't add it to the PC version but I always thought the modding community could solve this problem. Have some faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprized they didn't add it to the PC version but I always thought the modding community could solve this problem. Have some faith. Yeah I read that too, but you see to me that just doesn't make any sense, because at the moment clicking down the left analog stick doesn't do anything, and we know that clicking down the analog stick is a button as doing it on the right analog stick is used for locking on or focusing the camera in front of you.... as for the modders doing it...well....personally I would donate another 10$ to durante if he could figure it out, because it really is a HUGE immersion factor. It would increase the quality of the game in a very surprising way in my humble opinion. And if the devs implement it in the future, they could even give it some sort of strategic element, like if you have your weapons sheathed then you can run a little faster, or maybe your dodge roll goes up one step to the next fastest one depending on your equip burden....I just think they missed an opportunity with it...
