What upgrade i would like to see for "ranged" slot is possibility to place there throwing weapons ... like i have 6 Javelins in my barbarian inventory ... there is little to none reason for me to use Bow, or Crossbow rather than those (mainly for immersion reasons, but w/e :P ) ...
Classic RPGs to the rescue! All that and more was possible in BG1&2 and Co.
Characters had multiple weapons slot, where you could assign any weapons you wanted with no artificial limitations. Weapons with two functions (like thrown weapons that could be used both in melee and thrown) had a toggle so you could switch between throwing and smashing with them.
