Swords on Backs

A trope I've never been able to accept in video games is characters that have swords that magically rest/hover on their backs, defying gravity. Nobody talks about this, so I assume just nobody notices. What the fuck is up with this shit? Every game that does it makes it that much harder for me to get immersed.

It's inefficient, but I like it.

They're supposed to be in a scabbard of some sort on the back, but everyone's too lazy to actually make one for each sword.


Fucking hell

Have another pic to your collection.

How is that done in Skyrim as well? I have no idea.

question is: which games don't do that gay shit

Magnets? So like, magnets that stick a heavy sword to a back but can effortlessly be pulled from one's back? Maybe if you run a current through the magnet. But I don't see main characters turning on and off a current. And last I checked, electricity doesn't exist in Dark Souls, WoW, and countless other fantasy games that do this bullshit. You're explanation is stupid and so are you.

Doesn't cloud have some big ass magnet on his back which holds the sword?

Ah, and Nier Automata has the same problem. Maybe it's explained away in the game somehow, I don't know.

So… this is… the power… of autism.
