Why I Don't Use This Weapon

[Lhorkan]

My favorite weapon: My horse.

Yeah, apart from this being the least favorable weapon thread, we still love you.

I'm a rebel. My least favorite weapon has to be the crossbow then, since it's bloody slow.

 

[Fujiwara]

My least favorite weapon is the one that doesn't kill the other guy...

 

[Deestan]

An empty bag of rocks.

 

[Sameth]

A Straw hat that smells like 2 day old farts......Why? I don't know.......

Crossbows are complete shod, I hate them! the a Welsh longbow beat their ass even when they had 40,000 men compared to the English 6 (6000 not six men, thats absurd, you're all crazy!)

Anyhoo, I prefer any weapon which enables me to save my men and kill enemies!

 

[ETM]

i don't like crossbows. a friend of mine (who is lucky enough to have the full version and always brags about it when we talk about m&b) loves them, but i cant cope with the fact that you have to stand still to reload it. a standing fighter = dead fighter in my point of view.

Throwing weapons, especially javelins/jarids. The damn things never hit what I want them to hit (other than at nearly point blank range), and with their low ammo count you really can't afford having three misses for every successful hit.

Maybe I just suck.

 

[Wildcard]

How about weapons that miss when i aim at enemies? those are real bad weapons indeed......

I wouldnt be too hard on yourself there, youre right the ammo is too low for such a hard to aim weapon. I find that they work best at close-ish range like the length of a polearm.

An empty bag of rocks.

Oh, I highly disagree, there is a lot of stuff to do with an empty bag. You can like... suffocate enemies with it, you know all mafia like. Plus imagine finding a severed head on the field, you picks it up, you puts it in a bag, and you swings it around, not just KO'ing enemies in your radius, but also looking pretty goddam badass.


Okok, least favorite weapon is a dagger, its small and can't be used to block. So unless you're like a ninja turtle or something, you're prison screwed. Plus, in later levels! stabbing a black night with a dagger is like stabbing a linebacker with a spoon. You won't do damage, and you will get your ass beaten all sorts of awful.

Javelins! Don't get me started on javelins.

 

[Ingolifs]

There's a bug: the game calls them javelin, not javelins, even though there are 7 of them. I once saw a large bag of javelin.

 

[Rando]

Javelins are amazing! Aim at the chest and get a one-hit-kill headshot. That is my experience with them at least. Good for taking out a couple of whorses also.

Even if you have something against them, there is absolutely no need to insult the horses in such a rude way, good sir.

 

[Temujin]

I hate the slowness of the crossbow

 

[slavetrader]

does anyone really use those knives that cant be used for blocking?
they seem a bit useless (in later levels atleast)

I guess that would be one of those, uh, freudian slips eh?

 

[Quietus]

single-hand Poking weapons are not the most fun at all. What's the use of melee if all you can't swing your weapon.

A bit useless? Almost completely useless, at the anything beyond the beginning stages. However, that seems appropriate given how heavily geared up we become.

IN GENERAL,

if more weapons - or could I hope for ALL weapons? - had some unique sound effect or animation associated with its use, then I would be more likely (it's the homicidal child in me) to use that weapon on occasion.

If the lance as I've said before delivered a tremendous BLANNNNNNNNG and the victim was dramatically delivered out of his earthly travails, then I'd use the lance.

Spears, I'd use them if they were not so...dull. More spear effects (whatever that would be )

I'd use throwing daggers if there was a unique AIIIIEEEEEE cry from the unfortunate target.

Hell, I'd use stones if they had better sound effects. As it is, I don't blame anyone from playing solely on the basis of damage delivered.

 

[Corsair]

Staves. So worthless. One handed, but you can only use one attack if you're smart enough to use a shield. They have low damage, and you don't get the satisfaction of seeing the blood spurt up when you kill the man.
