steviegiovanni Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 i believe we haven't had a single handed sword so far. i think the female warframes will look sexier with a more femine swordplay animation. maybe with more turns? mire will be awesome with this concept.

LoRDxDeMoN Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 What about them daggers? The Ceramic Dagger is long and curvy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Kanade__ Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Daggers have always been used by female assassins cause they're more agile then men, daggers is only fitting to be used by women. I think it's a nice touch to see those in this game along with female warframes, the two compliment eachother. That's just my opinion.

ValhaHazred Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I would love to use a rapier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UndeadPonyVendor Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I think the game really needs a new one-handed sword it would be awesome to have a katana like sword kinda long a little thin with high crit chance and high attack speed.A old school katana maybe with something glowing.That would be awesome.

vats3 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 im sorry but i have to ask what is "female swordplay" and how dose it differ from "male swordplay" extra points if you can describe how a female cant use a sword like a guy can without sounding sexist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValhaHazred Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I was making fun of the idea that there was a difference by showing one of the most badass swashbuckling fencers in history was a woman.

CrimsonCannon Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I agree that we could use some extra sword designs. We already have axes, Japanese-style swords and Western ones. For "sleek" melee, I'd go with either rapier, or some type of sabre - by sabre, I don't mean those English/Western European knock-offs, I mean scimitar-type blades. Scimitars, Karabelas, Shamshirs...because that would be totally awesome. I also agree that there is absolutely no difference in how woman and man handles a sword. The point is to kill the other bastard, not to look pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonCannon Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) ....Okay, I missed that one. Thanks for showing me. Perhaps though, we can get something with greater blade lenght and more "crescent". Alternatvely, something like a khopesh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khopesh) The entire biomechanical nature of Warframes would fit well with that, I think, since you can experiment a lot with that kind of shape.

ValhaHazred Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 maybe with more turns? I just noticed that bit. No Balerina spins please. I've actually taken fencing classes and the only thing spinning in combat gets you is stabbed in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancingfirefly Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) A rapier might be a lot of fun. It could be designed for single target lunges and efficient melee/ranged defense. Lunge attacks (Sprinting and melee, or sprinting/sliding and melee) deal bonus damage, maybe? And holding the block button allows you to deflect bullets in random directions, occasionally striking a nearby enemy, etc. If you deflect a melee attack while blocking, you strike the enemy for good damage in retaliation. A rapier would be the perfect weapon for a defensive fighting style. It'd also reward a player with refined melee fighting skills, though it would only be sufficient as a single target weapon. Sounds like a unique weapon type. And I fully agree that gender doesn't matter when it comes to handling a weapon. Though admittedly realism isn't exactly something DE seems to be shooting for. Also as far as the 'female assassin' and daggers remark. . Most assassins regardless of gender use daggers or other easily concealed weapons. Daggers can hit vital locations of targets when performing a stealthy strike. I can't say that I'd expect an assassin to do as well using larger weapons, unless they're deliberately taking the guise of a figure who would have such a weapon at the ready, such as a noble.
