Can't wait to see @eissa having disproportionate arms and tendons/ligaments!
Where to get a gun (for other RPGs)

Doubt a modern human would practice archery with such gross draw weights to that extent.
I mean, the bows back then were crazy, 110 pounds or some shit, and they aren't compound. DX

you dont need to have higher draw weight for composite bow while still match the power of longbow.
depend on what type of 'sword' referring.
hell, the reason great sword saw its decline in the battlefield is no more because of the advent of rapier as sidearm to musketeer. while try striking plate armor with sword blade is dumb, there's technique that could be used to deal with armor when you only get a sword on your hand and cant bothe to switch weapon
while past 250 meter i would agree that arrow do lose their penetration power significantly, an injury by single arrow is often cause death more than stroke of sword or mace. Often it were caused by simple thing like the struggle to pulling off the arrow tip, and even worse it sometime cause infection if the arrow were latched with dirt first (which sometime archer ussually do before the battle). Oh and my favorite, curae poisoned arrow!

i think its more like a heaviest plate armor that weight about 50kg could whistand a shot from musket, i dont see how you gonna make arquebuses/musket heavier (maybe the caliber?).
Heavier caliber, heavier chamber so it can take a heavier powder load.

Vampire: The Masqurade - Redemption. Although you don't do it during "dark ages", so I don't know how relevant.

No doubt there were swords used against plate successfully, they needed a stabbing action to work.
As I understand, 2 handed swords lasted all the way to pike and gun formations, their sheer momentum and force I guess, worked against plate as well as a heavy axe would.

A single arrow which penetrates is comparable to a single blow of a melee weapon, but the chance of being repeatedly penetrated by an arrow is unlikely.
Arrows mostly cause their damage from either bleeding, or the lucky penetration to a major organ (VERY unlikely if it goes through even a bog-standard gamberson and chain armour, yet alone plate)
Infection is a nasty thing which caused many deaths by arrows, but its way too slow to be reliable in a fight.
A dude with 5 arrows partially stuck into him can potentially still fight and charge ahead, a dude with 5 mace blows is probably wondering where some of his bones went.
Poison arrows/Dirty arrows were used, but I don't really see any statistics that it was particularly common, normally dirty weapons were frowned upon in medieval warfare (like bloody swords and such).
Oh you are so wrong there. The musket mod is AMAZING. The thing is probably very unbalanced because it just kills mooks in one or two hits. In a game of hacking people to death with ten or so good body hits, this thing just reks everything. It makes you feel like a God, dragon shouts not needed. If the mod added in iron sights and firearms to half to three-quarters of the NPCs, I'd reinstall the game tonight.

Skyrim cant be 'good' with guns, because it lacks DT.
It's horribly unbalanced and it looks like crap because it uses crossbow animations. We might have very different understandings of what "AMAZING" means.

I'm still sitting here going 'why the fuck are spears in fantasy/medieval games so fucking rare or underpowered?'
I mean seriously, Skyrim is missing so fucking many weapons! GRAHHHH.
Yeah. I loved spears in Morrowind, even though they were seriously weak. But they make so much sense...

Yep, you have to kill tough monster with a fork in order to get decent spear in Morrowind..
Don't play triple A popamolery @ThatZenoGuy and grab Age of Decadence instead, there's plenty of spears here.

Ironically spears are one of the nastiest weapons you can weild in reality.
Its akin to basically having a melee range oversized bow and arrow.
I mean, a slash with a sword might kill you.
A stab to the torso with a spear WILL kill you.

Are you for real? It's yet another cRPG that had full release in 2015, alongside Underrail, to have some degree of inspiration from Fallout. Go grab em!

Afraid I have never heard of either.
ZenoGuy doesn't hear much about good games, because they get basically no marketing...
You had never heard of Age of Decadence and Underrail? Those two games are often talked about around here
.Just a heads up, Underrail is solo RPG (no companions) with focus on combat and not social/diplomacy. Also crafting equipment is way better than thinking you will get as good equipment as loot or vendor.

I don't mind solo RPG's, STALKER has no companions, barring a handful of missions.
Where can I buy them?
STALKER is no RPG though.
You can get them from GOG.com and I assume Steam too.
ThatZenoGuy
Residential Zealous Evolved Nano Organism
I'll check Steam out.
STALKER isn't a full on RPG, true, but its a bit more than your usual shooter.
Hell, I'd say its more of an RPG than "Modern RPG" (Read, FPS with tiny RPG elements like Borderlands) games.
