what's your /vrpg/ swordfu? for me it's chillrend
>>2597984Barely counts as /wrpg/, but you can't really argue with Frostmourne. Actually, practically all good REAL rpgs have dogshit swords. I guess there is a sort of nice one-hand sword artifact in Tyranny, and it also does a sick AoE burst. If we count Fromsoft games as RPGs, then we get some more options, and I personally would say the good ol' classic Claymore as shown in Elden Ring takes the cake, with the Cavalry Sabre looking sword from DS3 DLC taking second place of the series.

>>2597984The only weapon I have any sort of attachment to is the Scraping Spear. Very cool weapon that takes advantage of the games systems like weapon durability and item burden and makes DeS' notoriously turtley PVP fun since you will 100% win the long game if they decide to run away and eat grass.
>>2598009I specifically said "swords", what kind of a loser uses a spear
>>2598014The loser reachmogging you from 10 feet away
>>2597984Spellweaver from DA Origins. Randomly found the arcane warrior subclass and then this baby. Tore through the rest of the main quest with it. Good memories man.
>>2597984Haha…Any tachi
For me its Longsword
Does it have to be a sword
The greatest weapon in the soul series

> sword so evil it lowers your alignment upon wielding it
>>2597984Gaia blade
>>2598040I'm sorry anon, but in games where you can reliably take 10+ hits without even slowing down that extra reach just isn't worth much.I wonder if there's any wrpg that does spears well. Morrowind has them but they're only particularly useful over other weapons if you're constantly jumping back away from your enemy. I'd rather some heavy infantry play. Otherwise it's just Dark Souls.
>>2598131Age of Decadence does them well. The higher your spear skill, the harder it is for enemies to get in melee range
>>2597984I like axes
>>2598040a spear can never have a cool name like "terminus est" and be an ancestral relic, I don't make the rules desu
>>2598192gay
>>2598113Is that the one that randomly kills someone on the map when you get a crit? What a based weapon.
>>2598235>he doesn't know about Gay Bulge
>>2598006I like this part of a world that's old and filled with magic, that over time people can and will make sort of stupid magic items. Wizards as old people with no sense of what they're doing, just making shit is a great thing.
>>2598009>the Scraping SpearYou monster.
>>2597984Best Sword. Best Armor. God why there's no RPG soul calibur???? Yeah there is SCIII but still.
>>2598235>What is GungnirWhat kind of zoomer jarpig doesn't even know this?
>>2599078SC is truly wasted as a fighting game.
>>2597984>thank you for defending my sons from those horrible creatures>gives you an extremely powerful magical artifact while his sons were using iron garbageThey just threw it in that quest cause it had no other place in the game didn't they
>>2598113what game?
>>2599263Arcanum.
>>2597984A simple broadsword
I always liked the Sword of Althena from Lunar. Not too off the wall. Nice dragon themed hilt that's fancy but still tasteful and classy.
>>2598413I laughed harder than I should've.
The sword that goes into your ring when you're not using it simply because of convenience
>>2599323>use broadsword in Demon's and Dark Souls through the whole game>play Elden Ring>Broadsword is completely fucking unviablegod fucking damnit
>>2600184Wtf is this a glass pizza cutter?
>>2600184Why would they make these stylish Judge Swords and make them completely unusable in any game?
>>2600188
I've had a lifelong love of fiery swords, but special mention has to go to the Sommerswerd, from Joe Dever's Lone Wolf book series, and more recent video game. Godly artifact of holy sunfire? Yes please! Also didn't mind the stylistic change in the video game--instead of a broad-bladed single hand sword Lone Wolf uses as a primary weapon, it's reimagined as a claymore-size blade he pulls out for 'artillery' strikes.
Hexen with mods is an RPG
>>2597984>posts the shitty obliv*on version
>>2598071Compensating much?
>>2600343Not that anon, but I second the preference for the Oblivion model. Wouldn't have minded it as a longsword, but at least it doesn't look like a leaf! :)
MAKE WAY MOTHERFUCKERS, SISTER-STABBER COMIN' THROUGH
Goldbrand.
Kusanagi no Tsurugi would make short work of all these inferior blades.
the blood sword because I'm an edgelord who likes to have his cake and eat it too by having a weapon that heals you each time you attack with itthe ffa artwork looks neat too
>>2600396weird, i remember it being more curved than that
Saving GraceHonorable mention To Bitter End from the same game for having the sickest and most poetic name of any endgame weapon ever, but it just looks kinda shitty like the rest of the Daimon weapons.
>>2600384i'll stab your sister
>>2600384>"WILL you be GOOD or EVIL">"GOOD is NICE but its the HARDER PATH">"EVIL is the EASY PATH to POWER at the cost of YOUR MORALITY">Merc your hot sister for a powerful sword>or don't>You also get the same reskinned good version of that powerful sword five minutes later btwBravo Peter.
>>2600396the gay guy choice
>>2601162speaking from experience, i'm sure
I should not have ignored the castle dlc for so long pic related is pretty gud des
>>2597988Frostmourne is the GOAT of game swords, but I personally like Shalamayne, a sword that can be split into two and merged back into. Pretty unique.
>>2597984DS's zwei has to be the single most satisfying weapon in all of gaming to me.DS1 had the best moveset, but every game has some lovely moves:>1's forward momentum overhead chops>2's retarded quick half slash r2>3's shieldwrecking charged r2 >ER's running sweepWho cares if other weapons do more damage?Who cares about muh striking supremacy or muh blood?I want more zwei action.
>>2599078I remember the "pause game, sword still can blink"
>>2601929I remember 'Lightning Zwei' being an awesome early-game build for DS1.
>>2598417That's how you end up with god damn owlbears.
>>2598113It only lowers it temporarily when you wield it.However, attacks with it drives your alignment down to the pits of evil QUICKLY.
>>2598417
>>2603307It's pretty good yeah, but personally I can't stand the bzzt of lightning weapons in the souls games.
>>2597988I'm still using the claymore, it's my go-to swordfu.
>>2597984moonlight greatsword
>>2597984I am a sucker for edgy stuff.
not that interesting but got attached to it because I got it early on and played the rest of the game using just thisWould have imported into the next game if I didn't have Burning Earth
I'm a fan of any sword that sends enemies flying when you strike at them.>>2600343Chillrend is a case where Oblivion has the better design, unless you're telling me that you like the look of the abominations that are Skyrim's glass weapons.
>>2597984Shadowmourne is my adolescent swordfu, but my real childhood swordfu is pic related.Not being able to afford a guardian membership taught me the truth of this world's injustice at a very young age.
My one and only.
For me it's the Excalibur II.
>>2597984The phantasm sword from Saga Frontier.I just love it when it's counterattack, warring phantasm is activated once a character has been attacked.
>>2605550Not him, but glass looks like trash in every game. Skyrim's version doesn't really stand out.I'll take the debaser over chillrend any day.
>>2605550Looks like a dogbone
>>2601929
>>2601097>The EVIL IS EASY evil sword gets nerfed>The GOOD IS HARD good sword reskin is more powerful and it's given to you for free
>>2605642that actually looks like a plastic toy
>>2606094>that actually looks like a plastic toyWell, yes.Good design or not, it DOES still come from Oblivion.
>>2597984This was my partner pretty much up to level 99. Which was a good long while. If I had know lv99 equipment cheesed everything else in the game I wouldn't have stayed where I wasAs I recalled it was a drop from a notorious antican.
I've quickly fallen in love with pic related. Good move variety, fun aesthetic, and it's a STR/INT weapon, meaning you want to two-hand it.
Killing Edge.
