Very funny. But this one is even funnier: what were those two books where really non-superhuman heroes (flew exceptions apart) armed with relatively believable weapons fought against orcs, ogres, dragrons, giagant spiders and flamming demons? Help me, they are kinda famous. Oh, yes, I get it! The lord of the rings and The Hobbit!
I can't be sure, but I suspect their creator wouldn't agree with you. But maybe I'm wrong
Actually I would hate to find a senseless piece of metal like the sword in the second picture even in the market square. But probably it's just a matter of taste.
it's impossible for me un quote every single word typed by you!
In any case, this
can help us to understand the character design choosen...
it's a simple, functional and BELIVABLE design!
