These are kind of endemic to this sort of game, but are immersion breaking (for me), and this
is a beta:
- Who the hell waves a six- or eight-foot staff around by the tip? Staves are heavy and two-ended. You don't use them like daggers.
- Who holds swords in the middle of the hilt? It's unbalanced, and you don't have the guard as another control surface. Why do that?
- How could anybody be expected to use a weapon where the guard/haft/whatever is as big as their freaking thigh? I know oversize weapons are cool, anime/cartoon design, blah, blah blah; I'm not questioning that, but you have to be able to grip the damn things, not?
Kind of sucks to have a legendary hero who appears to never have handled a weapon.
(I know: more whining about appearances from Pete.)
