What unusual weapon types would you like to see?
-
Empty off hand! Games tend to discredit the empty off hand so much... Yet in reality, it was extensively used for grappling, disarms, throwing objects to distract the opponent, to regain balance, or if it was armored, to straight forward block with it. Very few games ever addressed this and only slightly. I'd love it if fractured would put that empty off hand in it's rightful place.

This would be really nice!

Claws or fistweapons seem cool.

@darian this, i mentioned unarmed as a style a few months ago and i know there is a martial school and it would be awesome if it would allow this sort of thing into a full fledged style

There was this movie from when I was a teen called The Sword and the Sorcerer and it had a sword for the main character that had 3 blades, the outer two could be shot out like missiles to kill from afar. The movie was bad... the acting was bad... the props were bad.... the sword design made no sense.... (try to cut with 3 parallel blades) but come on.... they shot out like missiles. I want a sword blade launcher!

there are plenty of options available in anime. with enough technology, magic and demons i'm sure some could fit!
-
@jetah there are too many anime mmo's already. Please don't bring that stuff here
-
I didn't say "copy anime and place into this game". I said there are some great weapons that are visually appeasing in anime and Fractured could use any of the hundreds.
There's a sword that's made out of cogs, that could be changed between dual daggers, dual swords, 1h sword and shield, or 2h weapon. (sure this could be a gfx skin).
Another from the above anime were chains.
From RWBY: wrist shotgun, gun/scythe.
-
I just hope all weapons included in game will be lore friendly and that we'll never see some x-mas special santa armor and crap like that.
-
@tulukaruk I only can agree ^^ I'll hang me if I see my demons with a Santa beard and a candy cane as a sword x)
-
Claws, spears, crossbows.
-
+1 for polearms! So underrepresented in games these days.

Lots of great ideas here. I am not a fan of "crossover" items, for want of a better word. For example, I would not want to see light sabers or giant cartoon hammers or toy cars running about - breaks immersion and game world.
I think it would be cool to see some awesome Demon weapons, specific to their race/region - fire brands, skull head mace, life drain scythe, etc.
I'd for sure like to see spears and long range 2H weapons.
I am also a huge fan of very fast paced weapons, like daggers and such.
Great shield options is a must have IMO.
Animal claw wands, staves etc.
Bows, crossbow, maybe guns of a sort.
I'll give it more thought, but exciting options.

An umbrella!
PS
Never mind my answer. It is an "inside" joke/reference, brought from reddit. Hmmmm would that make it an "outside" joke/reference?

As I was closing the tab, with the corner of my eye, I mistook "staves" for "slaves".
And that brings me to my "idea" (made in a humorous manner).
....Slaves!!!
Your equiped weapon would be a slave. Imagine, in a Roman context, "slave kill this boar".
LOL

I did love the idea in Tales of Symphonia of using kendama
or others toys as weapon
Also I saw Claws in the thread and I think it's a good idea for beastmens +1

Most likely, because they are so OP they have been used in real wars for over 3000 years. (Last known successful bayonet charge was done in Irak, 2004 by a British squad that got ambushed by AKs and grenade launchers and shit) Balance that without making it feel dull!
-
I really want to see a well done pole weapon user. The biggest one being a proper glaive user. One thing games tend to forget is pole weapons can also be treated like blunt or slashing weapons on top of piercing weapons. It should be able to mix piercing, blunt and slashing attack and should have retain that versatile aspect.
I would also like to see shield and bucklers better differentiated, shields should have a substantial stamina and speed drain. Actually the difference between light and heavy weapons and armor should be better shown with their effect on stamina and speed. I am not sure how hard it would be to actually balance though.

I say give us some hunga munga's.

@esoba what's hunga mungas?
