Cinderain Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Are you... trolling? He uses Javelins and Swords... His name is after King Arthur's sword.. King Arthur's sword is a sword, not a knight. Using a weapon doesn't make someone look like a knight, especially when that someone doesn't even look like a knight with or without the weapons. I have swords and a javelin. Holding them doesn't make me look like a knight. Also, Excalibur's javelins are just more swords glued together. what you want is some warframe that looks like he is wearing plate armor. and possibly using a shield. no thanks. that hardly fits the theme and aesthetic of the game. What I want? I never said anything about what I wanted. People in this thread forum don't seem to know how to think outside of the box.

I think you are missing the point he is named by a weapon which was used by a famous knight and king. Also lets not forget Arthur is part of the Knights of the Round Table.

Cinderain Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) I think you are missing the point he is named by a weapon which was used by a famous knight and king. And yet he's not a knight. And he's not Arthur either, is he? Edited July 11, 2013 by FatalX7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilemyre Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 And yet he's not a knight. Then what is he? Don't say something like assassin or thief because Ash fits that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilemyre Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Exo-armor. All of the warframes are exo armors. Whats your point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinderain Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) On a serious note, I'm not sure if anyone actually knows what a Knight is. All of the warframes are exo armors. Whats your point?

SocknBoppers Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I really think of Excalibur as a Swordsman, when I think knight, I think of big, slow and metallic. Excalibur is agile, he is quick and he is nimble (Super jump, lol). A knight would be slow, he would be ever-marching and he would be indomitable.

Kerpele Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Had a paladin type frame idea back when the council were thinking of the new one which ended up being the Antimatter. It was more of a group support/defensive styled frame. Didn't get any love.. :( Edited July 11, 2013 by Kerpele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinderain Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Why is a Knight slow? You know that Knight is a title, right? Having a set of heavy armor doesn't make someone a Knight all willy-nilly. Edited July 11, 2013 by FatalX7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilemyre Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) On a serious note, I'm not sure if anyone actually knows what a Knight is. My point? I thought I've made that clear. What's your point? So your saying its impossible to have a knight warframe because of what a knight is? "A knight is a person granted an honorary title of knighthood by a monarch or other political leader for service to the monarch or country, especially in a military capacity. Historically, in Europe, knighthood has been conferred upon mounted warriors.[1] During the High Middle Ages, knighthood was considered a class of lowernobility. By the Late Middle Ages, the rank had become associated with the ideals of chivalry, a code of conduct for the perfect courtly Christian warrior. Since the Early Modern period, the title of knight is purely honorific, usually bestowed by a monarch, as in the British honours system, often for non-military service to the country." So in other words you cannot make a knight warframe because being a knight is nothing more than a title? In that case consider your point proven. Hoever I am not looking at this at a political or title I am looking at what knights were viewed as in books, stories, tv, movies and everything else. The sterotypical knight is one who wieids a sword and has some form of armor regardless of its weight or material. Remember some wore chainmail which isn't hefty like iron or steel. Excalibur is the closest you can get to a light armor knight of the medieval ages in those stories. Also you can't really call him a swordsman if he is using an axe or a hammer.

Cinderain Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Ah, media. Obscuring truth and real history since forever. That same mindset has lead most of this community to believe that ninja actually wore black footie pajamas.

Vilemyre Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Ah, media. Obscuring truth and real history since forever. Don't get me wrong I know what knighthood is. I am just viewing this from a different standpoint and I get your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekker Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 This topic reminded me of the manga Blame! There was a scene where some creepy knights overpowered a main character with badass brute force. I think that would be awesome to have in Warframe :) btw. Excalibur does not feel like a knight to me. More like a knight in a latex suit. Not very knight like :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet they came from Korea and were originally called Kanja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinderain Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Haha, do you mean the Sulsa warriors? They were fairly different from Japanese ninja. This is a very largely debated area of discussion. English be damned. Edited July 11, 2013 by FatalX7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
