Watching Oghren swing a spear the way he swings his axe would be quite an eyesore.

Looks like those weapons... didn't make the cut.



All I could think of when I read the title. /runs off

What? You didn't enjoy the way they did that in World of Warcraft?

No idea what WoW looks like. Did they do that there? Wow. Amazing especially when you remember Diablo II.

A slap wouldn't cut it.

Try punching yourself.

I just desire a classic katana or wazikashi for my (ninja) rogue.

Ninjas didn't use shinken...then again, they didn't fight either.

Not to mention, that the inclusion of whips /flails or similar weapons would cause everyone to scream "GOD OF WAR CLONE!" (I mean, if they haven't already, haven't been paying attention to DA2 lately).

The TGWTG reference made me chuckle, by the way.

I see the points about why it isn't featured, but I have to agree that seeing something like a polearm in-game would be more unique than the whole completely overdone katana thing.

As for realistically depicting combat with a polearm...I think the game strives for making combat look cool as opposed to making it look real (dual-wielding swords moves, for example).

It's probably not a matter of being realistic, but as you say yourself a polearm is quite different weapon type from a sword, so even if they wanted things to look just "cool" it'd still require separate set of animations simply because of how different it is when it comes to application in combat.

Most of the 2H weapon swings are similar to the ways a Glaive or Nagamaki can be used. So the animations wouldn't need to be that drastically different.

They also didn't use Katana's or wakizashi's ether.

And...Thedas doesn't have ninjas either, imagine that!



Sure, assassins are everywhere (i.e. the Crows) but the Japanese don't live in Thedas.

If they start putting Japanese weapons in Dragon Age where everyone speaks in a British accent my head will explode in quite a messy fashion. I just think if it's based around that time, and in an area similar to Europe it should have European weapons.

This, especially considering the game doesn't have halbards or spears, which were very culture-appropriate weapons durring this time period.

Shinken is the Japanese word meaning "real sword". It encompases both of those weapons. It's used to charactarize a weapon used for actual fighting and cutting using the traditional methods of forging.

• All nihonto are shinken.
• Some shinken are nihonto.
• Some nihonto are iaito.
• Some shinken are iaito.
• Most iaito are mogito.
• No mogito are nihonto.
• Some mogito are shinken*
• No mogito are shinken**

* Outside Japan.

** Inside Japan.

I'm actually rather dissapointed that swords and axes/maces (both 1 and especially two-handed) share the same animations.



It's redicolous to see stabbing with a hammer, or never using a half-swording grip on a two-hander.



How many animations are we talking about per weapon anyway? Or are motion-capture people paid per motion, and not per hour?

I think this game will be better (or worse, depending on your way of thinking) in that area.

[Lotion Soronarr]

as far as we were told, weapons are still using shared animations...so hammers, axes and swords will use the same ones. So I don't see how will this game get better.



No matter, it's not a big deal anyway. I'm far more concerned with mechanics.

[Fishy]

this weapons did not make it

I understand that weapons like Whips and Flails would be hard to do in the game correctly. 

But I still don't see why polearms couldn't be added to the game.

For the exact same reason.

Difficult in general or for DA's graphics engine? 

Come on...  The graphic engine wasn't THAT bad.  xP
