LE Weapon and Armour Slots

[Floordan]

I often found that having a house in game had little benefit other than a place to dump all the things that you'll forget to sell later, so I had an idea that might change it up, and make player homes for more appealing -- and necessary.

Basically, You can only equip/carry one piece of armour for each body part at a time. You cannot pick more up once you are wearing some. You can drop the armour you are wearing to take an enemies, but that means you'll have to run it back to your house, and then trek out again in the nude to find your old gear.

With weapons, you can only have at one time:
1 Bow
1 - 2 Daggers
2 one handed weapons/1 two handed weapon (they occupy the same slot)
50 Arrows

And then potions:
5 Health based potions
5 Magicka Based potions
5 Buff potions
5 Poisons

 

So whenever you want to use new or different gear, you have to go home and grab it from your armoury.

Now, when dungeon diving, the loot chests will LITERALLY be loot, so you'll find gold, gems, lockpicks, ingots, ores -- things you can sell (Or Create!) for hefty profit. You'll have a carry weight of 30, but weapons, armour and potions no longer weigh anything, so this weight that you can carry is pretty much just your loot bag.

The only weapons and armour you can get are from stores and quests. When you purchase something from the store, it's sent straight to your houses "delivery" chest (essentially a mailbox) and this chest is shared across all the player homes. Houses will all be given multiple weapon racks an mannequins to store your items on. I mean, you could still use storage chests, but I like the idea of actually having an amoury.

So when you get home and want to change gear, you store the armour and weapons you're already using, then grab the gear you want to use next. Boom, player homes are now quite a pleasure to have.

Before you have a home, you can permanently rent out a room in the sleeping giant inn, which will have one mannequin and one weapon rack that can hold 3, one delivery chest and one storage chest. Use this until you have earned enough $$$ to get a house.






SO, that is the idea. Now I would ask the question, is this all possible, and if so, how would I go about doing it? (If no one is interested enough to try if for themselves)
