I like playing melee character and I'd love being able to Swap between 2H and 1H+Shield when required by the situation.
Actually, you can, you just don't have a swap key/button to do it, you have to equip them and you can do that during combat.
A strenght melee character will have a terrible %to hit with ranged weapons...
Not necessary, not if that STR based melee character has high DEX. Example: Human can easily get 16/16/16/9/9/9 or something to that degree.
Being able to swap between weapons that have different properties could be usefull (ennemies having elemental or magical resistance,...)
Again, you can swap weapons in combat.
Thanks to give us the only possibility with human about abilities.
Being able to swap weapons in our inventory is 1) boring (QoL) 2) cheesy (that shouldn't be possible in combats)
There certainly should be the ability to swap from 2 hander to 1 hander and shield, or from single weapon to dual weapon. Should also be able to swap between a slash weapon set up to a bash set- up as different damage types are needed for different critters.
This.
Slashing/bludgeoning/Piercing - Magical/Non Magical - Elemental damages.
There are lots of damages types and we also should be able to swap from one to another without going in the inventory.
About slots, yes that's how it worked in the old BG.
I'm not against the idea but to me, 2 weapons slots for everyone is fine. I never use all slots when playing BG1/2.
