Thanks guys for all the answers but as I was writing up the early part of the script I realized the base idea is actually pretty close to the plot of Blood +, an anime series about vampires from 2005... might just have to scrap the whole thing now. Hell the equivalent of the main character in that used a giant cello case and daggers as his main weapons so I'm already beat on the interesting weapons front.

Ugh, why does this always happen.

If you keep bumping your own topic like that for no reason it'll get locked I'm pretty sure.

We aren't going to war. People over hype this type of shit every time anything happens. Remember how the media was trying to freak people out and cause panic because North Korea said something about a Christmas present for us? No? I don't blame you since when it turned out to just be hot air like anyone with a brain could have foreseen they just moved onto the next subject ripe for creating fear and anger without missing a beat.

God you people are gullible.

A boss in Dark Souls 2 uses a great sword in one hand and a smaller sword in the other.

Aww man, I completely forgot about Fume Knight, crazy considering I find him to be one of the hardest bosses in the game. Well... Maybe I can let that one slide since he doesn't fight like that for the whole battle...

You can do this in Skyrim if you want.

In vanilla Skyrim? I'll have ti check that out.

you could also do this in dark souls games, but it wouldn't be very effective

Yeah, I've actually played like this before, cool but not very fun. The... Abyss Watcher weapon, whatever it was called in Dark Souls 3 is pretty close to the idea except great sword plus dagger, which is still cool but a little too mundane.

Like using a normal long sword in their dominate hand and then a two handed great sword in their off hand. They could rest the great sword on their shoulder casually while fighting with the long sword and then mix in sudden longer reaching and harder hitting blows with the great sword while using the momentum to transition back into quicker normal swordplay, maybe have the two swords fit together to form a heavier great sword that could be used with two hands to further switch up the move set.

I was thinking it could be a cool combo for the main character of a new story I'm working on about the bodyguard of a "saint" who is really just a selfish con-woman who happens to bare a striking resemblance to some holy woman going around healing people and starting a new religion until one day she's found out after the true saint puts a price on her head and the bodyguard guy gets hurt trying to get her to safety and she reveals she's actually the younger twin sister of the real one but she just can't really use the same power until she tries to use it on the guy and like all of her built up heal magic goes to him and make him this super badass near immortal warrior type BUT she sees a horrific vision at the same time showing that by using that power she basically stole part of his soul in exchange for the heal and that her sister is deliberately going around stealing souls where as she was only stealing money so her and the guy set out on a quest to stop her sister from taking control of the entire country.

But yeah I want the guy to use an original weapon or weapon combo so I want to know if that combo has already been taken. My second choice would probably be a bident that doubles as a bow.

It's a great game, one of my favorites, but I have to ask, why now when Persona 5 Royal the massively updated version is coming out in like 3 months?

I think it's the people who Hollywood is shamelessly trying to pander to and manipulate for financial gain who should be upset, but a certain Marvel movie already proved they probably won't even notice it.

God people like you are annoying as hell, you're so far up your own ass you can't take any advice and can't even wallow in your own misery properly. Clearly you want to be this way by your responses so I can only hope your wish is granted.

The root cause of my hate is my inability to learn & get better at things.

Not everyone can be good at everything. Try reading a book or something, those have a low skill ceiling. I'm not even trying to be mean or joke either, I get frustrated by the same sorts of feelings and usually read to chill out for awhile.
