- All in favor say "aye"

- Me.

Looks awesome, and would definitely be fun!

I agree, makes things far more interesting why not make it a talent?

 

Pirate Style: Pistols can now be equipped one handed in the off hand slot.

 

If the additional complexity could be afforded then when the pistol is in the off hand slot you get one ranged attack from it per encounter and afterwards it acts as a low damage crushing weapon, as you try to beat the enemy to death with the butt while stabbing them to death with your blade!

Why bother making it a Talent, it already works now.

That picture of the pirate gives me ideas of dual wielding Sword+Gun... but that sounds like a coding nightmare too (with how the code looks now).

"If Melee, attack with sword, if Range, attack with gun" = Lots of bugs, probably, "I'm in melee why is my gun shooting!" or "Why is my character swinging the sword in ranged and the opponent takes damage!?".

I want this.

Its fun to use now even though its an unintended bug. I am all for pirate style revolution!

 

As a side note they should make all guns effectively clubs at melee range, like how the sword is slashing/piercing.

If you want the devs to read that, make a thread in the bugs report section about it (if there isn't one already).

Sking reads and comments on the threads regulary.

A related question would be what actually happens if you dual wield weapons with different reaches, where you are only close enough to hit the enemy with one weapon?

THIS SHOULD BE A FEATURE

 

FIGHT FOR PIRATE STYLE PISTOL OPENERS EVERYONE

FUN > BANALCE

 

So, which class best suits the pirate approach?

Obviously the chanter.  Since we all know pirates are loud rowdy types who like to sing

Sabre + pistol, represent!

 

 

 

On that note, I'd be neat if we could simply put pistols into the Quick Items slots (let's say up to 3) and then use each once per encounter.

 

And might I add that I love both the firing and reloading animation, superb job!

 

Hello?  LOOK AT THE PICTURE.

Unfortunately you can't access your inventory in combat in PE *dies inside*

 

 Can you change weapon sets via hot key?

One of the barbarian options starts you off with spear and dagger!

Can you change weapon sets via hot key?

In a perfect world you'd have a pistol in each weapon set and one sabre, and when you switched sets, it would just switch the pistol out

If it was in Assassin's Creed IV simulator, it should be in PoEt.

+1 on this suggestion. The sheer awesomeness of this far outweighs any 'balance' consideration (especially since I can't see this as being overpowering).

Wait this wasn't already a planned feature?

 

I couldn't find a pistol in the beta, a rapier and a pistol combo was going to be the main weapon set for one of my planned characters

 

I need this Obsidian, pls.

Pistol hits almost as hard as an arquebus it is clearly not intended ;p.  Also you can already do this you just have to swap weapons.  Sounds cool on paper, but worth effort and even that effective in combat?  Not particularly.

It's already in, is my point. No point editing it out, because it's cool. You can't use the pistol after the first shot already, your character just attacks with the melee weapon.

 

If you want to re-use the pistol, equip it as the only weapon in a set.

Earn it first, from a pirate quest, spend that quest XP on a new feat, say, on an island ... with monkeys. 

You need to fight a dire parot to get it

 

 

A Greater Ferocious Dire Winter Parrot, at the very least!

 

So they have said that its a bug? Well in either case i agree with Sensuki that it should be kept as a feature.

Real men dual wield their pistols.

 

Everyone knows that.

Why not make it a talent and that it takes two or three turns to reload where your doing nothing.Two pistols should also be possible with same penalty and talent requirement.
