What's your favorite weapon in RPGS?

[Apostle Hand]

Feel free to add some that I didn't include. Personallly I like heavy flail, it's so cool.

 

[Habichtswalder]

Style-wise: Depends on the scenario. If it's a generic fantasy scenario or medieval times, I'm a sword guy. Axes are also okay.

Gameplay-wise (in real time games obviously) I prefer melee weapons over bows. Shotguns in RPGs with shooter-elements because I don't like to aim.

 

[Just Locus]

No Warhammers on the list

 

[Gilius Thunderhead]

I like:

Spear and shield or 2h spear if the first is not available(Morrowind )
Sword and shield (any combination, I generally prefer mobile "viking style" round shield and arming sword, but "Roman" heavy armor, tower shield and short sword is cool, too)
Double Axe for badass barbarian aesthetics

I must say I like Thief style bow and sword a lot, too(I like mobility), but playing them is usually very boring because they revolve around kiting or stealth crits.

Mauls and maces. Bonus points if the game gives them armor penetration.

my fist

 

[Melcar]

Bastard sword and shield (mace or flail as a backup weapon) is usually my go to combo when playing a tankish character. Great sword is also a favorite when playing a more hit and run tank. When playing ToEE I always end up with polearms, glaives usually. Never liked dual wielding or ranged weapons in any fantasy S&S type game.

[Reinhardt]

depends. if it's proper turned based rpg game - 2h sword. if it's akshun - spear.

 

[Late Bloomer]

Hammers. Usually Two Handed. Something about crushing is more satisfying to me than slicing. If there is an absense of hammers, then two handed swords of any type. If the game allowes for shield bashing, then I will consider a sword and shield.

 

[Froila]

Bollock dagger

 

[Blutwurstritter]

The gentleman's choice of course,

Spoiler

Browning M2 from Fallout Tactics.

 

[Dark Souls II]

Dark Chaos Blade +5, from the game Dark Souls II. A weapon subpar in PvE, designed to be neglected by pathetic nerds who prefer to fight NPCs instead of taking on the real challenge of fighting a real opponent in PvP (a real benchmark of gaming skill). A weapon designed specifically to absolutely mog in PvP. It doesn't have the greatest damage, or the greatest reach, or the greatest moveset. But it does have superior counter and poise damage. This means it is superior in punishing retards with pure skill alone - if you hit first with a Chaos Blade, you win the fight. Just like in real life. No other weapon in any video game was ever so immersive.

 

[Kruyurk]

The broadsword

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

I love halberds. It's a swiss army-polearm. I love the range and flexibility in damage types. Generally great swords get the iconic weapons, but attention for polearms over the last 10 years has improved a lot. For characters that are roguish or not not primarily melee, I love the rapier. An urbane and gentleman's weapon that often developers give cool abilities. Nice speed, damage, critical range, generally considered light, and can be used with with either STR or DEX.

 

[Apostle Hand]

I sometimes like to dual wield, but how awesome it would be to dual wield heavy flail and halberd, unfortunately it's not possible.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

The nuke.

I like a good ranged weapon with some punch.

Melee: hmmm... I really liked great mauls for a long long time followed by great axes then great swords.

Yeah, the poll needs a great war hammer/maul or something. And don't forget the puny stick or club. I knew an online dude who only fought with a stick or club. He tossed everything else.

If i was a mamma jamma it'd be my cast iron fry pan.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Poll missing mauls, brass knuckles, warhammers, punch daggers and a whole heap of cool stuff.

I don't like those weird weapons, however I might include them in my update.

 

[Cryomancer]

Where is F:NV tommy gun, bush gun and anti materiel rifle?
