Wow, I have to say I'm 'very' pleased that the majority of you aren't making any decisions at Bioware. xD

Or maybe that you just got canned after Jade Empire launched...

I hope that wasn't aimed at me.  Lightsabers made KoTOR game of the year!

I made a poll on this a while back, check it out if you are interested!

Flails

[CybAnt1]

Thrown Weapons



Shuriken/Throwing Stars

Throwing Knives

Darts

Thrown Axes

Thrown Spears/Javelins



Thrown weapons should be shorter range obviously than bows or crossbows, but perhaps with a bit more damage. Skills for their usage should be a slightly different tree than "archery", with STR contributing more to range & damage.

I'd like to see some Asian weapons. Katana, Daito, No-dachi, Ko-dachi, Ninja-to, maybe a Yari or perhaps a Glaive or perhaps a Shaolin Spade. Now that would be fun.

I'd like to see someone who knows anything about asian weapons.

Katana = Daito, No-dachi, O-dachi** A daito is the term for any standard sword at a swordsman's side, a no-dachi is more of a staff-sword than anything else, an O-dachi is sword with a ridiculously large blade. All of them are considered Katanas.

Ninja-To's did not exist, no shinobi ever used a blade that did not have soi.

A glaive is not asian, it is western in it's origin, you're thinking of a Naginata, a Kwan-Dao etc.

I just want a bloody spear, partisan, ranseur, guisarme, i don't care. Bioware, give me a ****ing pole arm.

*edit* Oh and you might as well say wakizashi for the ko-dachi, no one would notice the difference.

I would really like a cat of nine tails or a sword/whip ala The Brotherhood of the Wolf.

[Angel of Nessus]

Alright- here is a comprehensive list of all the weapons that BioWare has NO EXCUSE for not including.



Polearms- halberds, lances, spears, glaives, tridents, etc.



Face Bashers- wider variety of maces, warhammers (1 and 2 handed) and flails/morningstars.



Swords- rapiers, scimitars and PROPER daggers (not the shortswords they already have)



MOST IMPORTANTLY- fist weapons and scythes.

...



Ok, so it's not all that comprehensive. But they still need to be put in.

[Angel of Nessus]

And to all those people who keep saying katanas need to be included, you need to remember that this is a western fantasy game. Besides, what do you call spellweave?



Note: same goes for scimitars too, actually =x

Well EXCUSE me.  I was listing things off the top of my head.

[Nemesis7884]

i think it wold be nice to get more sepcific fatalities and skills for certain type of weapons... (e.g. pierce for spears, stun for maces etc.) moreoever it would be also nice to be able to specialise in certain weapons (maybe just 1 passive skill per weapon type)... mostover i want more weapons and more different skins for the weapons... i also don't want any "best" weapon such as star fang since this immediatly kills my inner item-hunter....



ps: i'd like to see flails simply for the fact that you never every see flails anywhere, maybe because they are difficult to animate...



pps: regarding different "use" for weapons i think pretty much everything gets covered - stabbing, slashing, knocking...the only thing you could ab would be some kind of spear/pole arm for piercing....



and maybe throwing weapons as addition to the bows etc. (javelins, knives, axes)

I would just like to see a really powerful axe. Something akin to an axe version of Starfang.

There is nothing as high a tier as Starfang axe or otherwise but Veshialle is a great axe. Looks kewl too. Kewler than Starfang. Or did you mean battle axe?

[karma_killer09]

Everyone needs to realize this is fantasy not reality, their is always a way to include "forign" weapons. And this isn't a western based game its once again "fantasy" this game is made by the same people who made BG 2 , and has openly been called it's brother game.Baulders Gate is part of forgotten Realms(same group as D&D, Dragonlance,Warhammer, etc.), and the original table top games included ninjas, samarai, and even flintlock guns, so who says we cant have asian based weapons? This game does not pull from history, when was the last time you were in the west and saw a darkspawn? EXACTLY!! Bring on the asian weapons!

ehhh it seams western though amd in warhammer the races and countries stick to what they are ecleast Empire is german/english and the elves weapons are more asian but any how you want asian type weps then intraduce another country or race. and if they start taken out the guns and cannons i would be a litle pissed

This fails on so many levels I just felt like quoting it...
(Seriously, I hope you were jolking)


On topic : different appearances and a broader selection for the existing categories. And no asian bull****, please.

[TimelessWinter]

well personally... If I had the ability to use flails and pole-arms I probably wouldn't be using any other weapon...ever lol



I know in Baldurs Gate that's almost all I ever used, as well as never winter nights

[Hniles09]

I would like to see flails also.. after finishing the book "The Calling"

they seem to exist in the DA world.. so if nothing else there should be at least

the one from the book..

[errant_knight]

I'm good with swords.



I really wouldn't like to see weapons that didn't make sense in the pseudo-european setting. It would seem odd.

[-Conspirator]

Definitely flails!

Rapiers and falchions would also be nice!

 yes i screwed up and put warhammer instead of forgotten realms but thats all thats wrong with what i put

Again, I'll reiterate, although Ferelden seems based on Ireland, and Antiva seems based on Italy/Spain, and Orlais on France, that's just because of the demands of voice acting and the ease of locating people who have those accents, as opposed to sounding ... Klingon, or anything else. (And is why dwarves in this game STILL sound like Scotsmen.) 

Thedas isn't Earth, and it could have an "Asian" culture on it which is right next to the "European" one, even though continents separate the two on our planet. 

Many CRPGs have blended the two cultures seamlessly ... Wizardry let you play as a Samurai or a Knight ... it's only lately that CRPGs have become more determined to "ghettoize" Western and Eastern weapons, classes, and monsters. 

For those who say "Asian" weapons don't fit the setting ... create the "Asian" culture/land ... problem solved. 

BTW, I agree with the no guns/cannons thing ... please don't ... even if you make a tinkerer class. This seems like a "low tech" world where the most mechanically advanced things are the ballistas and mechanical traps. That's fine by me, I kinda find the airplanes, guns, rocket launchers, and robots of WoW a bit .... jarring.

Made a poll, go and vote for your favorite new weapon class which should appear in Dragon Age 2.



Vote for your favorite weapon class!

Flail, Spear, and the Bastard sword as far as weapons



And a heavy bracer as far as shields go. Also known as a duelist gauntlet. It is basicly an ultra thick gauntlet worn opposite the sword arm and used primarily to block in coming BLADEs it also doubled as a rather hefty peice of metal strapped to the hand/ forarm when the wielder wanted to knock some sense into some one. Some even encased the whole of the hand/arm and had a blade attatched to it at the "fist" you can see one in the Movie Willow wielded by mad martigan.



but a bastard sword for sure with its own skill set/line and depending on how it was wielded sword and board or as a two hander it should have acess to the coresponding skills/abilities of those as well

[Giant ambush beetle]

We already need a bastard sword to compensate for the insanely slow greatswords.



Heavy bracers is a good idea, I'd also like to see tower shields. Maybe I'll make a poll about the armor/shields people would like to see in DA2.

[zykinwulf]

id like some better shields, tower or kite shields over the round kind. i still have my cousland shield
