As the title states, I was curious to see if its possible to maybe change the location of the quiver, purely for a visual appeal. Perhaps when you dual wield both weapons appear on your left side, while a quiver hangs on the back of your right hip, instead of being pasted on your back.

Somewhat like this...

I just like it from the visual standpoint. Its different and I just prefer the look better.

The quiver in that picture would actually slow down the speed of nocking a new arrow.
The over the shoulder already has the arrow on the correct side of the bow for firing.. the behind the hip has the arrow on the wrong side for shooting thus slowing down firing speed..

Sure, you like it for visual, though it just doesn't make any sense to have it like that.

^ What he said. ^

While I know this is a personal preference, me and my father used to practice archery, and the shoulder quivers were extremely ackward for me to use. I only used a couple, but reaching over my shoulder to grab then was rather cumbersome and I felt silly doing it. I'm guessing that there are people who associate that with the "right" way because it's seen in movies and whatnot.

In my opinion it's faster to stick them in the ground, or in one of those things on the floor that don't leave holes, and pull them out. To run in, a bow mounted quiver is best, but is also a bit tricky to draw quickly. You really can't run or jump with shoulder or side quivers, not any I've seen at least.

Not to mention, the added bulkiness of any armor would make it even more difficult, if not impossible to reach it.

But since it's a game, and if nothing else the bowstring would fail at the constant inclement weather, we can just safely assume that it doesn't matter? I don't think a side quiver would hurt anything.

^ Exactly. Plus, if you want to bring reality into it, why don't both of my weapons show up while dual wielding. Why does my bow disappear when i switch weapons and not my quiver. You see I mostly play in 3rd person. Just a personal preference, and sometimes those darn arrows are right in front of my cross-hair, so I end up needing to hit f to switch into first person view.
