Bibidibop, I agree completely. It's one of gaming's greatest flaws; they make everything too generic and streamlined. I understand that it makes it easier to produce and balance, but it really takes out realistic styling. Most games require set animations for everything, so it would likely...

The German Zweihander, my favorite melee weapon. They can adapt to nearly any situation (aside from ranged combat. However, Cold Steel demonstrated the sword being thrown like a spear, piercing a steel hood). It's one thing I haven't seen a game do: individual weapon stances/grips. The...

the0thMonkey, I hadn't read that. Thank you for that information. If there is a system and lore, I can get behind that. Thanks, Michael

Readers, Sorry, but I failed to communicate my ideas on running in my previous post, having instead gotten myself embroiled in the age old armor discussion. When a person runs, they don't start out going as fast as they possibly can. It takes time to build of speed. Encumbrance affects how...

Readers, First off, HELLO! My first post, Pardon me. Back to topic; It's of my belief that armor should affect how well damage of various types are absorbed. Quality (worksmanship/materials) of the armor should determine how well. Armor should also be a status symbol. The lowly peasant whom...
