now, in oblivion- sword is what i use, because maces look crap and spears dont exist- blades look crap anyways- but they seem more hero like to have a blade. but still this fails compared to assassins creed! assassins creed has hammers that are fast blunt weapons, scimitars and other cool weaponry. oblivion did not.
maces should be more baddass.
more diverse weaponry, blunts should have hammers!!!! not impracticle oversized mofos that are so slow i can stab you a hundred times before i swing- but fast hammers. scimitars be present as a slower but more powerfull version of a longsword. japanese weaponry (like katanas) should be faster.
i want spears, most people want spears, but i want LOTS of spears. i want halberds,glaves, one handed spears so i can go all roman or greek on you :liplick: , the ability to throw them. the effectiveness of fighting larger beasts and charging beast etc. most importantly- while stabbing is important, the player shouldn't look like a [censored] while doing it- did you know a single person well trained with a naginata can fend of groups of opponents entirely on their own?
i want crossbows- why? because 1: bows are for bosmer, real men use crossbows and 2: they function differently to bows
(bow=load, aim, draw, shoot- repeat)
(crossbow= aim, shoot, load- repeat)
i want opponents to react differently to different weapons- while i would find it entertaining watching people jump on my blade, it would become stupid once the highly intelegent ai starts to do it! i want opponents to try to dodge slow weapons, to try to block faster weapons or use superior range if they have a slow one. i want opponents to not run onto your spear, but try to run in and smack the [censored] out of the player when they turn away!
