Well, they had polearms in Jade Empire. I suppose it could be a different category, but my money is on two-handed sword, I'm afraid...

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of too. But we'll see. We don't even know if they're included.

[Shadow of Light Dragon]

We don't know what the combat system will be like either. Though I'd be surprised if they limited the skills/categories to what's in DA and A.

Of course, we will be able to choose how he fights. Its confirmed he can be a mage.

But I'm going to stick to whatever class allows polearms.

So, warrior, quite possibly rogue?

I hope polearms get their own talents, and aren't shoe-horned in the two-handed weapon category.

Warrior most likely. But we'll see. I went Sword and Shield in DAO, but with Polearms available, I'd gladly head in that direction.

And i agree. I'd much rather they have their own talents than be shoe-horned into the two-handed category.

I am afraid of that show-horned into the 2handed tree, I read a thread about a month ago that jokingly talked about replacing 2 hand weapons with polearms

[Arbalest7]

I'm pretty sure it's a Hewing Spear, a special Viking spear with a widened blade for greater slashing capabilities. It can't be a glaive because it looks like it is double-edged.

I wouldn't replace them. Just put polearms into a separate tree.

Whatever it is, it's 'more dynamic' with 'intense action'.

They should have made the PC's last name 'Power' so I could call him 'Max'.

Maybe make some new trees altogether? Apart from dual wield, two-handed, ranged and shield you could have polearms, unarmed (with massive fatigue penalties), throwing and single-weapons?

[LPPrince]

No to throwing(unless its for rogues), unarmed would just be dumb, but I am behind single weapons.



Still, they'd have to REALLY work on it to make sure they can justify why someone wouldn't carry a shield or bigger weapon.

[Zal Air]

Whatever the weapon is, aleast it has more room for thrusting with the longer shaft.

not Austin?

[LPPrince]

The thing is, there's cutting, slashing, and piercing.



You can pierce with it(the polearm he's wielding), and cut with it, but slashing's going to be a doozy unless they know how to animate it.

[Jestina]

He will ride into battle on his ginormous...

[LPPrince]

Pass.

If we are going to have polearms I would love to see a variation as in a scythe would be very welcomed. I though we missed out on in origins for not having some weapon variety there are only so many ways to package a hammer, axe, and sword... imo. I mean they did go and give an achievo called grim reaper so lets see a scythe or is it just me?

Here, here. I love scythes. I wish more fantasy games had them, since they're my favorite weapon.

There is just something incredibly nice about playing a rogue who uses one of these. Instead of a "backstab", it more like "surprise decapitation". 

[Cypher0020]

I'll DW or use that awesome polearm.....

[Felfenix]

Hawke seems to always use some kind of sword. Warrior uses a 2h sword. Rogue uses dual swords. Mage uses a sword-staff. I'm expecting swordchucks as DLC.

[HiddenKunai]

Its quite a unique weapon. The closest i think it could resemble is a swordstaff/partisan/ox tongue spear of elongated blade and shortened pole. And btw glaives are classified by a single curved blade and more often than not a hook on the back of the blade for catching riders. Either way it is a class of polearm as are all of these examples.

weapon of choice? His clawed right hand? His spear? The sword?

A rose?

[elfdwarf]

would funny if it was type of staff instead of two handed weapon

[captain bored]

so... are polearms and spears a definate or not

[KhorinShizucor]

Well, the sword-staff for mages is like the Swedish polearm, svardstav. It's a two edged sword blade mounted on a 6ft pole. The "pole" part in the sword-staves in DA2 seem shorter, however.

[joriandrake]

sadly it seems there is nothing new along the lines of weapon choices in DA2... only less choices alltogether

[Stick668]

don't be shocked / by the tone of my voice
it's the new weapon / weapon of choice

(you can go with this / you can go with that)
