Bows and Guns being visible

If I was a war with a great axe and a bow equipped, then what?

Well if WARs wanted both they'd probably get it. lol

It's not that hard to do really, they would be no different than a staff or whatever. Don't even need a custom aniomation, they could just appear on the back when idle...they appear from nowhere when you shoot anyway.

They won't do it cause they are on a very tight budget is the real reason.

How is making those weapons visible full time a matter of money? lol
It just requires a bit of time that they don't wanna bother with.

If the programs that show .dat files are to be believed, ranged weapons are kept below ground-level. Just move them up. If certain NPCs can have them displayed, it shouldn't be too hard to show for us.

If those are to be believed, then greatsword, swords, and all other weapons are also kept between one's ankles.

I still think Annihilator is the worst looking relic. They even switched it with coffin maker in the official picture of all the relics lying together (the pic excluding aegis).

if they just added a simple bone(weight) to the backs of characters, in opposite direction of say.. a staff, and tweak an animation, this would be a 10 minute addition by most modelers standards. at least for archery. add a separate weight for marksmanship, and leave throwing as is. total change of 3~6 animations per race.
