Weapon Ideas

Re: Weapon Ideas

I hate all these ideas for ridiculously huge blades. If you've ever actually held a real metal sword, you'd see that would take a giant of a man to wield something as "small" as Avo's tear as proficiently as you do in the game.

*Cough*Fantasy Game*Cough*

Seriously, im surprised people still say stuff like this when it comes to video games. Yes, in reality we cannot weild ubber giant swords, use magic, carry hundreds of pounds of equipment, go into someones house and steal treasure, and we cannot take a bullet from a gun. But if you made games to be realistic, they would suck, simple. Its called suspension of disbelief. . . i think. I dont want to play a realistic game, since Im a magic type of guy.

Anyway, how about shields as weapons. Smack people with them and what not. Ones with spikes would be fun.

Re: Weapon Ideas

Yes it is a fantasy game. So why not have the character carry a 500 ft long sword?

Because there is a threshold between cool and ridiculous.

Actually. Assassin's Creed is MEANT to be realistic and it looks like it FAR from sucks.

To tell the truth, Ive only read a couple articles and seen a few screen shots, so I dont know that much about it, other then if you get stabbed with a sword you die. But I havent looked far enough into it to judge it myself, but I'll take your word for it.

Let me rephrase my statement, when a game is taking place where reality is not the focus but you give it realistic game play, it would suck(especially with RPGs). Like Final Fantasy, obviously a fantasy world, but if you got killed every time someone blasted you with a gun or a fire ball it'd get old fast.

But whats the threshold? In Oblivion my character can carry about 20 swords. . . to me thats rediculous but the game is still very cool. In F.E.A.R I can take entire clips from a machine gun, slow down time and kill enimies in massive waves. . . I think its cool buts its far from reality. I agree we shouldnt have tiny little guys weilding blades twice their body lengths like a paper weight, to me thats silly, but if your a hulking man beast, why not have a massive blade, six or eight feet long even would be fine by me: Not realistic, but not ridiculous.

Re: Weapon Ideas

The fact that you have an infinite backpack and lots of endurance is for gameplay purposes. Having a large sword has nothing to do with gameplay. Having a large sword has everything to do with the art direction of the game. There are plenty of huge weapons already in the game anyways. I have no idea why you would want something BIGGER than the oversized weapons we already have (Avo's Tear is pretty much bigger than a person). The only reason I can think of would be that you want to make Fable more like Final Fantasy.

Re: Weapon Ideas

I like the spear idea but I think it would be cool with the spear on both sides so you could kill two things at once

... I just want swords the size from fable. The Sword of Aons was darn near the length of JoB. Also I like the size of the solus blade. I was also mistaken in which sword you were talkin about, I keep getting the sword in the stone mixed up with Avos tear so my argument point was comming from there. . . sorry:lol: I get confused alot.

Edit: Havent plat TLC for some time, so I was even more confused when ya said the sword was too long, thinkin it was that punny one I was thinking of- I couldnt see what you meant cause I forgot. But Still For ubber giant characters, I can see ubber giant weapons. I am a fan of proportions.

Re: Weapon Ideas

Why not a quest to get a legendary weapon, a pirate captain's lost blade that is a cutlass with a pistol built into the hilt. You could come up with some interesting ways to fight with that one (i.e. sidestepping as the enemy lunges at you, nailing them with a few bullets and moving in for the kill with the actual blade). Just another idea.

Re: Weapon Ideas

i think it would be awsome to have two swords that you could design at a blacksmith to your personal desire.
or a sword like the diblaharo or something from the game Ninja-Gaiden, curved like fire giant blade that was bronze and had a huge ruby set in the hilt, hard to describe but totally wicked.

Or, for something that I think would look a hell of a lot better, as well as more realistic... wait for it, wait for it... a musket or rifle with a bayonet! Something that really exists, too.

I mean, a sword with a pistol in the hilt would be both really unwieldy and be very hard to make, from a reality perspective. Also make it harder to reload, again from a reality POV, since presumably (from the look of the game) it'd be a muzzle loader. You'd have to balance it on its side with the blade sticking out and pour the powder and the shot in.

(Um... I just realized that that sounded kinda rude. Please don't take offense. I'm not sure how to rephrase it...)

You know, they do exist. :ninja:

Mmm. Yes.


It'd make an interesting scene if a mugger approached you with a normal sized dagger, and you pulled that, aiming at him like you would a normal gun.

Sorta reminds me of that Crocodile Dundee scene where he is about to get mugged like that, but he calmly reaches for his belt whilst saying "Ya call that a knife?!" as he pulls out his huuuuge machete.

Duh.

That's like saying an old Spitefire Fighter is over-rated because it would get shot down far too easily by today's cutting-edge jet fighters...

These are the sort of guns Zorro would use... or pirates!

I dont care if there outdatted, owning one would rule.

I could see pirates using those to, or the modern bandit; first he stabs you and when ya try to run *bam* shoots you in the back.

Re: Weapon Ideas

I... I... was wrong!!! They do exist.

I do want to say, however, that most of those seemed simply to be pistols with huge bayonets shaped like knives and hatchets, and I stand by my reality-based statement that those'd be somewhat finicky to load, except maybe the hatchet one. "Gaaah! I just slit my own wrists trying to reload my own damn pistol!"

I'd also still rather have a bayonet on a rifle. After all, why go for a penkife when you can have the machete?

Because you are a sneaky rogue/assassin, not a rifleman. With those pistols you've got one shot, and if you don't kill your target, you kick their **** with the blades á la Assassin's Creed!
