Medieval Grosse Messer would be nice to add to the greatswords, it can cut better than a katana

While a great looking sword, I want to see proof on your claim.

Throwing Axes

 

And just because I'm currently replaying a game that the main character uses them..tonfas

Best example i can find is this, all you need to see is the noted times:

0:50

2:04

 

The Messer took 4 while the katana took 6. The Japanese were limited on steel, the Europeans were not, their blades could take a better edge and the size of the weapon also helps the cut as seen in the video

If referring to the 'cut through side of beef' part, I don't count that as fair since the meat tore itself to the side during a cut.

Im only referring to the parts where i noted the times, when both are getting through the rib cage, thats a legitimate test having to cut through several bones

So was I as it turned out.

 

I'm not saying it's not a legitimate test, just that due to other factors(the beef tearing itself to the side) the results are skewed. 

 

But let's not get into a debate over this.

Off topic for just a short second...Darnit Hyuuga your throwing me off with Sasha as your avatar now!

 

Back on topic...if you ask me it's all in the forging of the blade. Yeah it takes skill as well, but if you forge the blade just right it can be pretty darn devastating.

The beef wont tear itself with a rib cage supporting it, plus both tests are done under the same conditions making that alleged factor irrelevant

 

Naturally im gonna defend a point that i made, its harmless, its not like either of us are cursing or belittling the other

Sorry about that. I watched Attack on Titan on Toonami and am in love with Sasha. When I can change my name again, I'll make it match if that helps.

 

Yeah, each blade is an individual so it's hard to judge unless you use like thousands of the swords.

Watch the video again, particularly during the slow-mo recap of the cutting.
The beef doesn't tear to the side, the blade turns during the cut, either by deflection or the guy turning it in a more curved fashion during that particular cut, than just straight downward cut.

Ultimately, neither video shows one blade being superior over the other as far as cutting edge goes.

Historically, japanese swords were structurally inferior to western ones due to poor quality iron and using what was considered an inferior process for blade forging at the time in the west.

Absolutely none of that means that nihonto didn't have good cutting edges. They did. There's more to a sword than its cutting edge though.

I've always loved Spears/polearms. In NWN2 I made a Spear and shield Priest that kicked ass! 

 

Apart from that: Curved swords are always better than straight swords imo.

Could you link me to it?

It's from the Dragon Age RPG set, my bad.

The image above reminds me of Theoden's final charge at Helms Deep.

I want mage staffs with actual orbs and crystals on top of them. I have a feeling DA is trying to shy away from this, but I love these kinds of staffs in games! Especially when the orb/crystal is held by a claw or vines or a tail and gloooows. Y'all know what I'm talking about.  And if we are still going to use mostly sticks, it'd be nice if they had engravings or SOMETHING that doesn't scream "I literally got picked up off the ground/yanked off of a tree". DA2 had quite a few staffs that I liked, but nothing really wowwed me except for Orsino's staff.

this whole topic has ridiculous weapon suggestions on every page. Chakrams, Scythes, Flails (not saying they are bad weapons but it would take them a lot of time time do extra animations for them) and rope darts. You know what would be a good weapon? any practical weapon that would be easy to put into the game. that means no new animations that might push back release time.

[sleasye74]

Id like an Ulfberht, if you dont know what it is watch Secrets of the Viking Sword: Nova. Just seems very dependable

[Falcon084]

I think that Mages need something other than a staff. Maybe a Crystal Ball that can shoot magical bolts.

 

As for Rogues a Deer Horn Knives set might be cool:

As for Rogues a Deer Horn Knives set might be cool:

 

first one: no, it has nowhere near any practicality in close combat.

 

second one.: those look like glorified brass knuckles made out of antler. antlers are very frail to begin with.

Practical weapons overrated.

The Mages staffs are useless in close combat as well in DAO and DAII they only shot magic bolts and did not use the physical aspect in close.

[Althix]

spear. polearm. sidesword.

but at least you can use a staff for melee. what am I supposed to do with a crystal ball? a scepter would be a better option.

[KennethAFTopp]

you know for dual wielding a basket hilted Scottish broad sword would be sweet.

[Gtdef]

I'd love to see Glaives for warriors and Rapier+Dagger for Rogues. 

 

For mages I'd like to see the ranged attack of the staff gone and instead use it as a source of power to conjure projectiles by hand or whatever they use to conjure the spells (for the autoattack animation). Of course I'm using the previous games as comparison, I don't know how the mage's animation will be in DAI or if they will even use the autoattack feature.

I own this sword, its one heck of a cutter. Is like a greatsword and a saber had a baby; you need a lot of strength to wield effectively and quickly though.
