Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Make shields visible!

Hi everyone!

I've notice one thing that are really bugging me out and thats actually a minor thing.
Even tho its a minor thin does it have a big impact on the rpg aspect for me and a few friends of mine.

We really want shields to be visible on the back of our character / party members.
As its right now its pulled out of the *ss..

A solution to this would just to make it either:

- Be held in the hand all the time.

- Be hanging on the back.

- Hanging on the side / waist

And please don't just make a floating shield, have a actual strap showing.
Even if there wont be a strap holding the shield just have it visible will make it all the better than what it currently are.
Same goes for weapon I really want that strap to hold the weapon up.
I know it can be alot of work to do.
Bow's should have a quiver aswell, I don't mind if its just something on the back that don't have any animations to it, just having the arrows shown does so much!

I love the game and I really hope someone at Larian sees this and brings it into the game!

Take care everyone who reads this and stay safe on your adventures!

Erm.... Not a fan. I already don't like the swords on back. Looks dumb. And awkward to unsheathe.

The only gripe I have about shields is that I would love to be able to dye them to match my armor. Minor in the grand scheme of things, I know.

Yes the sword on back are as you say.
However, shields were wielded on backs with some sort of protection on them back in the days.
I just want to see the damn shields out of combat.

A toggle would be nice aswell, same as they have on the armor / helm.

Haven't tried to do any dye yet.
But I would want a shield to match a armor I'm currently using.
Say I'm using a grey / black armor, I don't want a white shield

Hit U to unsheathe.

There, you can see it.

You have this mode on Nexus

As i said before Larian should play PF:WotR to see how to do it right (not everthing is better but some things are better solved).

They could do it like AC valhalla did and just ad a toggle for litteraly anything seperatly, that lets you choose what specificly you want to show and what not.
