Weapons, do we aquire new ones throughout our journey? I would hope so, sure we may learn new spells, but what about us fighter-types. You've all seen the sword action in the trailer( awesome if I might add) but is that the one sword we can use? What about a spear?Axe?Even spiked fists, the point is do we get different weapons throughout the game, while having the sword is cool I think maybe duel wielding a one-handed long sword and using a hand scythe in the other would make the game alot more interesting(well thats probably not gonna happen , but wielding something different would be Better). And maybe get special reward weapons like Holy scepter of Godsmacking(...yea...)or something. Just please don't stick us with the same sword, its like using the gravity gun in Half-life2, it's fun to play with at first but then it starts sucking, but then makes a comeback...then gets hit over the head with a shovel and it wimpers back into the hole it came out of...Yea... ...Anyway those are my views on this topic, Please respond, hello?! Anyone there?! (Crickets stop chirping or whatever the hell they do)

I agree, there definetely needs to be different kinds of melee weapons. From what I've seen, theres a very nice looking katana, a broadsword, some form of a shortsword, and a couple other swords. I'd love for there to be spears, or maces, or axes, or whatever. Maybe even implement a shield system, though I wouldnt see that working, because 1: your view would get blocked and 2: it might be kind of cheap.

Of course there'll be different types of melee weapons. It wouldn't make sense only to have one kinf of melee weapons.
P.S: Have you ever played a RPG where the only melee weapons are swords?

This is not suposed to be a RPG,sadly.And you never know what's in their heads. Though Arxs Fatalis was pretty good ... And with many weapons as i recall.

Action must have more weapons than RPG. There should be polearms and MORNING STARS like Heroes 3 gnolls had. Something REALY BIG would be GREAT!!!

And some nice ranged weapons, maybe shurikens and definetly asymetric composite (hun) bow.

Really , never thought of that...
But I don't doubt that there'll be plenty of weapons.

Alsou there should be scimitars (they have cool looks) especialy ewesome would be from damacus steel.



And something realy big would be great. Wery big warhammer to crush enemies. The biger (and more blood), the better!

Can't forget to have some kind of obsidian weapon.

im goin now wrong place

Not to forget a big ass mace or mornin'star!
Just imagine being a dwarven character with a BIG mace/morningstar and whacking some orc butt.
Wicked!

maybe some spiked gloves so you can bash his head in with youre fist, our it would be just cool for fist fights

Morning star would be great.
Egyptan Khopesh

Bardiche (i would like something eastern european too beeing in game.)

Minotaur Labryses

dont forget the blunt weapons. there is nothing like a feeling to smash some1 with a Sledgehammer right in the scull from behind (remembering Vampire Bloodlines) so a Maul would be cool.

maybe some put on claws something like wolverine in xmen has, or what about shurikens, a rope what kind of armor would there be?

I agry.
This is definetly fun to smash enemy heads with hudge maul or other blunt weapon.
So there should be some.

And there should be some spears and that like.

I like the Katar (hand dagger/claw weapon) idea. It would be pretty original to introduce that to a fps type game. I think the more exotic they can make the weapon selection the better. It was somewhere (IGN?) that I heard there is planned to be approximately a 40 weapon selection. This probably includes everything from melee to bows, maybe staves or wands. Really selection is most important when dealing with melee in order to keep things interesting.

I just really hope they would come out with a "weapons" trailer with a bunch of weapons shown in combat, also, even though it's sorta off topic, how does the warrior kill the dragon?

I'm gettin sorta scared that it might only be swords though, because on the DM page on MM.com it says " Enter ferocious combat with swords, bows, staffs, and daggers, or summon magic powers...

That paragraph scares me.

pomimimin: could you stop double posting please? If you have something to add to a previous post you can edit it. Double posting is usually seen as spamming, and while I'm not really that strict about the rules in this forum while it's still this quiet, I can't really allow for that either.

There's a nice sticky at the top of the forum which contains all the do's and donts - might be worth giving it a read.

Jeepers, that does sound a little fishy... I'd love to completely dismiss that as much as you I'm sure, but I guess we'll have to hold our breath. The combat system might just be so complex (compared to what we have going on in games today) that they might not really have been able to integrate a whole lot of variety. In the chance that this is true I only hope that the gameplay is so good that such a (lacking?) feature doesn't affect the playability too much.
