I purchased a few Order of Whispers weapons the other day and noticed something odd. The one handed sword and axe each have gears and hinges. The axe’s gears rotate and the blade folds up while sheathed. Like many items, the axe’s animation does not play while in the preview window and sits on the character’s hip unfolded. The sword is the same way (unfolded with unmoving gears) both in the preview weapon and when actually worn by a character.
The Whisper’s Sword looks like it’s made of multiple pieces which is what makes me believe it has animations that aren’t playing. Hopefully the lack of folding and animations is just a bug as it would be a shame if this was intended for such a cool looking hinged weapon.
