Thanks, Kalrakh. I saw it in a video, but couldn't remember where.

It's a nice touch of immersion (logically they wouldn't leave you with a weapon) and lets you avoid having to do what many players probably did "I want to start with a shield, so select preset that has a shield then customize it with the skills i want".

I certainly know that I did that with D:OS!

A QoL + Immersion change that is definitely nice.
