Just a suggestion referring to "floating" player inventory items such as swords, bows, etc. that are seen on the player himself. Instead of the usual weapon or item magically sticking to the player somehow, how about implementing belts, straps, slings, etc.
Anything needed to actually hold an item onto the player himself would be shown, I think would be a very welcomed new feature to RPG players and a unique graphical tweak that would be very pleasing to the players eye.
