[@thomasknapp6434]

I wager that the weapon fusing is going to limited to two (though I suppose it's possible that it's actually a "base" weapon that you can switch the secondary part of as it gets damaged). The number of permutations involved of fusing more than two weapons at a time would just be too much to expect. As far as the Ultrahand, however, it looks like those can get to be VERY complex.

[@YurimoHikashi]

As long as I can fuse a cucco to my shield I'm happy

[@ForeverDegenerate]

@@YurimoHikashi Wait... if we can Fuse Cuccos... we could make a Staff of The Cucco God. Think about it. You're not damaging the Cucco. It gets damaged when it hits the enemy. You could literally make a Cucco Staff designed to summon a Giant Cucco on your enemy (or a massive swarm of Cuccos, depending on which version of Cucco Summoning they go with). Now I want Cucco Fusing to be a thing!

[@Dimumouto]

The team saw how people just broke BotW and decided 'you know what, lets give them the tools to break the game even harder, and they won't even need to glitch anything to do so!'. Fuse alone is a big game changer; it seems like fusing straight up "repairs" your weapon since technically, it creates an all new one.

[@Atomosphere]

Imagine a multi-player home-made vehicle race. The Fuse ability looks really cool. There are almost infinite possibilities with it.

[@feha92]

On the contrary, I felt like the possibilities are far too limited for how such an ability should be. Seems like it only allowing one fused part at a time? In other words only squaring the number of weapons, and most of them is unlikely to be very interesting combinations (there is an argument for populating a game with few weapons, but have each be thought-out with a clear design-decision behind it - rather than have loads of different, but functionally identical, weapons with a few thought-out ones hidden in the large set of possible combinations/locations etc.) As for the construction ability, feels like they just padded the skill-list with a branch of what should already have been part of the fuse ability (so noone complains about the removed ones from last game when having too few abilities). And even this branch is less interesting than one would have hoped, as it is literally only the weld-tool (from gmod). No axis/rope/motor tool or other interesting constraints to create some dynamic behaviours. Add to that how wonky the phys-gun seemed to work, and the lack of a spawn-menu... Though the biggest issue with maximizing its potential however, is clearly the lack of some equivalent to wiremod. It did have activate-able things such as thrusters, but from what was shown I don't see a way to "program", much less program, your contraptions. All that said though, I am still rather hype. Even if the abilities were lackluster compared to botw, the game is still likely to be really fun.

[@xxiii262]

[@Atomosphere]

@@feha92 Wait, did he mention that there can only be two types of items at once for Fuse? Dang, I wanted to build a house...

[@feha92]

@@Atomosphere No, but it appeared like it weren't fusing more than 1 thing at a time. Either way, I would have been surprised if you could fuse a house onto your sword, considering quest givers tend to need to use those things. You might be able to build a house with the contraption ability instead, though yeah, you won't be able to attack people using it.

[@Atomosphere]

@feha92 That's 100% fair. Having multiple objects for a weapon would be a nightmare to balance. I guess I'll have to wait for mods so I can run up to someone and crush them with a house. I guess, for now, I can just construct a stationary, non-weapon house with the contraption ability...
