moar weapons, and make the existing ones more different

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 10:06 am

i just got to sequence 9 on assasins creed: brotherhood- during sequence 8 i though "hey, i have been using this sword since the beginning of the game, lets try some new ones" so i picked up a spear- it was awesome :disguise: the animations where exciting, i could dispatch enemies easier because of the range, enemies stopped getting so closs- I COULD THROW IT. then the game made me drop it- i was sad. then i saw a mace. it was much slower- but oh so much more satisfying- it was big, it had range, every hit would have a masive WHOOMP to it making every leg i break, every skull i shake, every blood rain i take il be watching you


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!

Remember that there is quite large selection of different materials for each weapon type.

Iron, Steel, Silver, Dwarven, Elven, Ebony, Glass, Deadric and so on.

And then we have different weapon types:
Daggers, Short Swords, Long Swords, Claymores, Axes, Battle Axes, Maces, War Hammers, Bows and so on.

This will be more than 80 different models. So it will be quite of task just model those right there. And then
we add Spears, Scimitars and other new weapons people hope. Plus each unique weapon. It will be easily over 80 weapons what
are needed to be designed, and made.


I just want to see Spears returning, mods can fill rest of the weapon types, like small hammers and scimitars.

54?


but realy? they dont have do every weapon for every element- i found glass warhammers an incredibly stupid idea, and i am sure every material doesnt need to have every weapon

yes. of bethesda made every weapon on this list, then i am happy.


scimitars and hammers could get modded in anyways :foodndrink: but i feel a scimitar would add to the barbaric feel of skyrim, a glaive would have some cool animations, and a repeating crossbow would make an awsome artifact

Bethesda please bring back the Dwemer crossbow!! and make the first Daedric crossbow :D :bowdown:

And I agree alot of weapons are needed in Skyrim, Oblivion had to little selection. And the fact they removed spears, crossbows, throwed weapons and medium armor really pissed me off.
