Sheathing needs to be removed

Sheathing serves no purpose other than to add clunkiness and artificially slow the gameplay. It’s such a monotonous thing you need to manage. Just let us run with our weapons out and make sprinting not use stamina in general. I bet it would make movement and combat feel so much more flowy and engaging.

    I agree that current sprint + sheath system is clunky and feels bad. But…

    If sprint not using stamina in general why even have a button for it? Just rename sprint to run.

    I think 1 of the 2 should remain.

    If you remove sheathing then sprint should cost more stamina and only be pressed strategically for short amount of time, like evade currently, but a little more forgiving.

    Or, remove sprint. Make sheathing the managing tool , you always run fast , when unsheath you use stamina.

      You might be right. Maybe just removing sheathing as a mechanic and sprint stamina cost only with your weapon out would be enough.

    100% agree. The sheathe mechanic and also consuming stamina with the weapon out are both unnecessary mechanics that only make the game feel clunky and unintuitive. They don’t add to any meaningful skill expression and they muddy the waters when trying to balance the game.

    Make sheathing the weapon purely a cosmetic thing that has no impact on combat.
