Hello There,
I believe it would be very beneficial to have separate in & out of combat stances; for example if I am holding my hatches or my axe or even my sword but I am not actually in combat, there is no need for my character to be leaning halfway forward just to hold the weapon! he/she can only be standing straight. Of course if I am wielding a weapon and I am engaged in combat then it would make absolute sense for my character to maintain battle stance.
It just seems unnatural to me that my character is holding a hatchet walking around my own house with no enemies around and she is leaning forward all the time while she is holding that weapon!
Thanks for your consideration!
Yeah, it would be nice if we could hold items in our hands in a more relaxed position. Running around with a torch in full battle-ready stance feels especially silly.
That said… How would you define “in combat” or “out of combat”?
I’d say either the moment you lock onto an enemy or when you swing your weapon and it can last up to 15 seconds
