You can already have it in hand while on, no?

Indeed...

 

It would be nice if the player holds the gas lamp more naturally, right now it holds the gas lamp like a sandwitch.

In the 1800's, miners attached candles to the brims of their hats. Why don't we make that an option as well?

Tbh, kinda surprised this is not in the game yet.

 

This has been suggested before - because it's crazy you have to take your military helmet or other hat OFF, to put on a head torch.

 

The problem with the gas lamp, if you take it exactly as it exists IRL - is that a butane container lamp like this is kind of the wrong way up to hang from your belt, as the heat from the gas rises from the top, so you must carry it holding the bottom part.

 

When I said 'clip it on your hard-hat' I was thinking really of the old miners lamps, or miners lamps with battery pack, or carbide lamps - some old style lamps were still recently used e.g. in E Europe or Africa, but now mainly electric battery pack for long endurance. I have used carbide lamps in potholing, they are not ..so.. outdated.

- Add belts to the game

- Add the ability to add the gas lamp to your belt

- ???

- Profit!

Set your HDR Quality to "Low"

 

Set your Clouds to "Very High"

 

Have fun.

Clip it on your hard-hat

I swear, there's always that person in the forum who wants a SMG or beard duct-taped to their hat.

 

And I'm begging the Dev-team for it.

It would be so swag if we could get wearable lanterns, because Dean is so fond of Skyrim, why not build it like this popular mod? 

 

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking! Just using butane lamps and not kerosene.. or.. troll fat? Idk what they use in skyrim lol

 

 

EDIT// Maybe if I'd look closer, its a candle xD
