in the first game, that second set would be visible on the character. Have we had any word on whether that will happen again? Maybe not because scabbards stay visible when not in combat now? Hope they can find some way to do that, though. I always liked it.

Yeah i liked that, too.  It shouldnt be too hard to create some logic to only show one weapon per slot, so for example if both sets contain a one handed sword than show only the currently equipped one. otherwise show the one handed sword from set one plus a spear on the back from set 2.
