The Game Is In Need...

Demised

First time out of the vault
This has probably been said, and if so, my apologies for beating a dead horse...

But this game desperately needs a sword-sword... Not a little dagger looking melee weapon/knife...

Something for those 'forsake guns of any kind modern day samurai' type of players...

Of course though, I may be the only one who thinks this...
 
There is Wakazaki's or whatever... I don't think it would ruin the atmosphere for a Katana or something like that...
 
it would just be another mele weapon.. but would require a new set of anims for all critters expected to use it.. i think.. ( did the wakazakis have it's own look or was it just generalised as a knife? )

Demised are you asking for a mod to do that? if not i have to move this to another place.

It's a mod suggestion, I'm not really expecting or asking anyone to actually do it for my behalf... Only if they really wished to... But after years, I still can't understand why something like this wasn't in there to begin with...

Wakazaki's was just a generalised knife look... The basis of the animations could be reused, just alittle tinkering on the length of the 'knife' during those animations... But yeah, it would need it's own animation set/name/file...

Although, all hard work in doing such put aside, I believe the 'sledgehammer' animations would suit it more so than the knives... Might be alittle easier to do as well... Would take a decent artist to replace it though...
 
Demised, I know what you mean, but it isn't realistic at all. Remember, Fallout is based on realism. Everything you see in some way relates to real life situations and all of the mutagenic things (like mutants and ghouls) can all be a possibility, if nuclear war does occur (the basis of Fallout is post-nuclear life).

The reason you saw swords on those enemies (I know which ones you are talking about, but I forgot their names) was because it was dishonorable for them to use guns. They were some sort of Ninja-Samarai type of clan/gang/cult/whatever.

Anyway, it would be pointless for our guy to use swords because a swordsman stands no chance against modern-day weaponry. If you want close combat weaponry, daggers, knives and small jagged things are best because they are quicker to use in a close combat fight. Try sneaking up on someone with a big Katana in your hands...

Another thing is (and I'm not sure, its just my opinion) that this game wasn't built on the idea of making it look "cool". Although a big sword ninja guy is what you may want--maybe because you think it looks cool or because its more fun to fight that way--it still doesn't fit in with the point of the game. Try to imagine a soldier in Mach II Power Armor with a sword... lol its sort of funny. Then try to imagine a guy who saved the world with a sword... also pretty funny (i know, you'll say that there are daggers, but you never use those daggers after like the 3rd city you visit anyway).

Well... yea... so that's what I think :)
 
Good points...

But considering there are Ferrari Enzo mods that turn the Highwayman into an Italian dream car, this wouldn't be far from abnormal in comparison...
