Greatswords even though the ones in the games aren't that slow. Ultra Greatswords are quite slow but they tend to be on the heavier side of weapons. Those people would never use. Like Gut's Dragonslayer. Not all of them of course.

In Dark Souls 1 the weight and clunkiness of the Zweihander made sense, because all evidence pointed to it very likely having originally been a bearing sword (a deliberately oversized sword whose only use was for show to display the wealth of the owner).

@adjustedbrass7551 Жыл бұрын

Too be fair, the zweihander looks to be quite beefy, putting it in the 15-20 lb range. It's reasonable that in a world of gods and magic certain weapons would be much sterner.

@Marxist-leninist-protagonist oh so most rpg games are based off dnd and kinda took traditions from when the first game in the series was released. The elder scrolls series was started in 1997 and based the weapon weight off of dnd 2e which took its weapon weight from dnd 1e which had a relative weight based off of how hard it would be to keep on your person. For an example a 1 pound cube of steel you can slip In your pocket so it's easy to carry and it's relative weight is 1 pound. Whereas 1 pound of sword is probably a longsword that you need to either have a scabbard for or hold all the time. Thus it's relative weight is much higher. As time went on other systems and games based the weight of a lot of stuff on dnd's weight system without realizing that the weight was relative.

theyre usually made heavier because even thoigh not intentional most games base their weight systems off of the early dnd editions that did "how much should this sword weigh in your pack" first and they made it heavier because though the sword itself isnt heavy, its relatively unwieldy because its so long. So the carry weight on it was made higher regardless of actual weight to reflect the relative difficulty of bringing around a big ole sword that takes alot of space

@@logandarnell8946 i really dont think its that deep💀 but the system makes sense to me. Carrying around 10 swords just because their purely quantitative weight is less than a gallon of water makes no sense in reality, unless your character has infinite subspace pockets. The qualitative way of measuring to change it based on the ease of carrying rather than the number on a scale adds alot more nuance to it. Or you can just play those games that dont have a weight system but just a grid where you have to play tetris to try and fit everything in your inventory because every item takes up a different amount of squares regardless of the items weight. Both make sense, but if youre using just numbers making all the swords 3-7 pounds and carrying dozens of them is just weird. Even skyrim uses the “make big swords heavier” strategy and you still get jokes about people walking around with dozens of wheels of cheese with nowhere to hide them cause all the game cares about is the numbers

In fact, the myth of heavy weapons was created by filmmakers and anime. In reality, combat tools were on the contrary, smaller and lighter than household ones. The best example is axes. If the axe for firewood is the size of a palm and weighs 4-5kg, then the combat (one-handed) is about 2-3 fingers wide, and weighs 200-300g. But woe to the one who decides that he does not pose a threat... The same goes for swords: a Romanesque type sword (a classic sword from pictures) weighs from 700 to 1100g. One and a half bastard or espadoon - up to 1.8kg Well, the heaviest, Zweihanders (in the video) weighed about 3.5 kg (the heaviest of the found combat ones weighed 5.1 kg and was almost 2m tall).

Always, as a kid, figured greatswords would be nimble. Swinging metal pipes, pickaxe, sledgehammer, which my dad owned and stored in the shed, I'd play with them as a kid. The problem I always figured was the issue was when it comes to a sudden stop from impact. It was hard to start the motions back up, but easy to maintain.

@@sneezyfido Since swords weren't designed to take on plate armor that isn't even worth discussing at length. OTOH, a skilled combatant is going to know how to attack weaker areas of an enemy in full plate. In more common armors, like chainmail, getting hit with this thing is going to hurt like a mother. Yeah, you won't be cut, but deep bruises incapacitate limbs all the time. No one wants to fight a dude spinning a 6 ft sword like this. In a battle, keeping an opponent in a defensive posture is insanely valuable. The amount of mechanical advantage one can get by half-swording a sword this big has got to be ridiculous too. These weapons wouldn't exist if they weren't effective against more than unarmored peasants.

These big weapons were easier stamina wise than having 2/3rds the same weight and half the length all in one hand while the other held a shield. Hell, rapiers are more exhausting. The main detriment of a sword like this was strictly that it was bulky so required two hands, thus removing the option of a shield while not having the length or power of a polearm.

@@TheNagroth they're... Not particularly difficult to wield, dude. The only thing that would really be an issue in your comment is not having enough room to swing, but in that case you can just. Stop. And if your opponent stays back and waits for you to get tired you can just. Stop. And then kickstart the swing if they try to get close again. Stable footing isn't any more of a disadvantage than it would be to any other opponent, and you're not slamming a montante or a greatsword into something heavy like armor when you're just spinning it. It's for protecting against weapons like spears or longswords trying to get in range, and the momentum just knocks things out of the way. You don't use a greatsword for dueling like a longsword, and if you were slamming it into someone that would *usually* just be the end of the fight right there, cause all of that force from swinging gets multiplied by the length of the blade and it turns into a pretty lethal sharp club. In conclusion, try one out for yourself
