Ashram Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Topic says it all. What types of weapons would you like to see in game. We have already been given a number of categories to include firearms that we know are going to be in game, but give some specifics. What unique, obscure, or favorite weapons do you think will really add some flavor and fun to this project? I'll start: Spiked Chain Katana Blowgun Zweihander Voulge War Scythe Guan Dao Arbalest Shuriken Doru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sollus Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I wouldn't mind seeing some weaponized footwear - eg blades or spikes sticking out. Bolas Garrotte Weapons which knock people out - tranquilizers or bully clubs Trident and net Whips and its variants. Magical weapons would be great as well. I dont mean crafted, I mean a melee based magic class, whose weapons are conjured and maintained through pure magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aedelric Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 For the love of god, do not add the names Zweihander or Einhander for English language. They are German words for two-handed and one-handed. Also no Japanese weapons, overused and not appropriate for late medieval high fantasy setting. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karranthain Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) Some ideas in this post : http://forums.obsidi...60#entry1189497 Personally, I'd like to see Rapiers, Halberds and Claymores the most.

rjshae Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) It depends on how sophisticated a combat system they build. If it's a basic system then there's not much point in adding weapons that are not significantly differentiated. It also depends on how much weapon specialization they add to the character bulding system. If it pays to specialize, then most players are just going to pick the best overall weapon for their purposes and stick with it. I'd think I'd like a system that allows you to specialize in fighting styles, rather than weapon types: hence, swung or thrust, slash/pierce/bash, light/heavy/pole. A swing/slashing/heavy style should allow you to use a broadsword or a battleaxe with nearly equal facility.

sollus Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 From my point of view this is a new world, if they want to incorporate katana's, there is no reason not to have them if in alignment with the games lore and cultures. I have not seen any official information stating that this game will be modeled after middle ages Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What with the Palatinate and the Celtic sounding named place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
