What about 6 to 7 foot tall swords? They seem really prevalent in Thedas.
Two handed swords could get up pretty close to 6 feet, I believe. What's unrealistic about DA swords isn't length but breadth.
Metal bows, Meteor swords, dragon armor, red steel and verediun and silverite should be removed from the ggame, none of them are realistic enough to exist in the real middle ages so it must be bad.
Also it didn't look like a javalin attached to a chain tk me, more like a spike attached to a rope, like a grapling hook, which is much easier to carry around. Besides, in dragon age I can carry around 4 full sets of armor and 10 swords with no problem in movement at all, so having a littke extra weight isn't going to hurt much.
This is basically my belief as well, though I will concede that the points about dragon armor and red steel and such aren't quite fair. You can invent anything in fantasy as long as it plays by the right rules you create for it. Like...sometimes the argument is that weight doesn't matter when I can throw fireballs. Well, that's not necessarily the same thing.
However, I'm with you on this point regardless. It's a game, not a simulation. Some people might think it should be more of a simulation, but I don't think taht would be very fun or enjoyable except for a small group of people (I'm estiamting here, I have no numbers).
They key for me is how much reality is being stretched. If it's a huge stretch like a Rogue teleporting...that's a little bit much. But if they can move super fast and are blurry, then that's different. If Warriors were leaping six feet in the air and making the earth literally quake upon landing, I'd have a big problem. But in the case of the chain move, the only exaggeration is storage (I don't care) and the weight/accuracy of the warrior. But it seems like it could technically be possible, just not probable.
