Unequip offhand gear/weaons

Can we please talk about the offhand slot? i find it very inconvenient, that if i run through dark caves for example, i have to manually equip and unequip a torch from my inventory. why? why can i not just press d-pad left and unequip it. not in a sense like removing it from the offhand slot, but my character just putting it away, and when i press d-pad again my char gets the torch out. its mildly infuriating tbh.

and while we are at it, i would really like to equip other stuff in my offhand slot, not only shields and torches. give me axes, swords, daggers u name it. and make it so the offhand slotted item can attack! torch only or shield only challenges incoming!

You can unequip it. If you have atleast two offhand slots and one of them is empty it will behave exactly like you would want it.

Also there is alot of offhand stuff coming apparently along with runes.

yeah i know, but that kind of defies the purpose. why would i be forced to unlock a slot i don’t need just to put my torch away lol

Try Illuminate, it only cost 25f and last a long time, also the light source is not interrupted by your action

an incredible effort..

that does not solve that i can not unequip my torch or weapon. the char always runs around with all things drawn. thank god they at least sleep without their shield and sword in hand lol

it kind of is. when i leave a cave and encounter enemies, i can not just press d-pad left to unequip my stuff, but have to menu while i fight.

also why is it too much to ask? other games do that with no issues. should be easy to implement.
