Staff showing in the back in Oblivion, why not in Skyrim

Hi gals and guys,

I keep wandering why in hell or heaven they did not implement in Skyrim the Magic Staff showing in the back when equiped.
I mean this looked cool in oblivion didn't it?

Yeah, it was cool. I usually either rolled a Staff of Paralysis or Sheogorath's Staff and it looked cool walking in Sheo's outfit with it.

Maybe because its technically magic, so when magic is sheathed u cant see it? no background knowledge just throwing a thought out there

Agreed. I spent an hour trying to keep the Silver Dragon Priest staff, and it doesn't show up on my back. Not a big issue, but aesthetics are nice. Looks good on a weapon rack though.

I hope they eventually make staves and off-hand weapons show on characters. I know alot of people have been making noise about off-hand (left-hand) weapons not showing when sheathed when you dual wield, but staves should also be on that list if the devs ever decide to do it.

I would just guess that it was an issue with ugly clipping. That's the only justification I can see.

I know there is one that hangs your shield on your back. Stands to reason that someone has done the same with staffs (staves?)
