Petition to Remove Automnatic Sword-Sheathing

It's quite simple. If you would like Geralt to stop putting his sword away for you while endangering your life and mkaing torch exploration impossible, merely sign your name to the thread. More info on the problems this feature (and I use the term feature lightly as it really brings no benefits) causes can be found here:http://www.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?topic=6232.0Please help rid us of this blight upon an otheriwse wonderful game.

/signed I have no clue what the developers were thinking with this one :p. Still a great game though. Just hopefully they fix that.

I actually like this feature, I tihnk it looks neat. However, I'll agree to the fact that it might be annoying to some, so I'll sign to the potential removal or enable/disable function being seen through. /sign.

Hmmm... how about automatic sword sheathing ONLY in houses(not abandoned ones) and locations which are safe at night(where monsters won't generate)? Or the developers could make auto sword sheathing part of the Options, where players can choose to enable or disable it. :)

I would disable it, personally. I prefer to decide when to sheath/unsheath. And I've gotten nailed a few times, because I wasn't fast enough on the PAUSE so I could pull out the sword again...

I never used 'pause' so far ;D In tricky situations you can hit hotkeys to pull weapons immediately even if Geralt isn't in the mood to fight... yet.

/signedLet me choose whether or not to sheath my sword, at least in unsafe locations. Since drawing it takes time (and it should -- I'd hate to see the sword magically pop into your hand), I want to be able to keep it in my hand when I suspect another bunch of bad guys will attack me in 10 seconds. Also, it's annoying that you can't move or click on things while sheathing it. While the ability to sheath the weapon is great for immersion purposes, it stinks that I can't have full control over when it happens.

I don't mind the automatic sheathing so much as the fact that Geralt, for all of his mobility, dexterity, and litheness, seems to be unable to simultaneously sheathe his sword while moving his legs.Why can't we back away while switching weapons? Or at least, if for difficulty purposes we can't move, at least provide some sort of crazy weapon-swap animation instead of standing there bleeding while creepy things with large claws take chunks out of your back.

with only 10 signatures so far i hope the dev still listen to thisSheathing my weapon at times other then the player chooses is a really bad idea. Breaks the immersion and only frustrates players./signed/gloomfrost
