IM SICK AND TIRED OF RPGS MAKING SWORDS OUT TO BE SOME GODLIKE WEAPON
Swords have historically been fucking trash and were not even remotely effective in combat as games make you out to believe. Pikes, halbards and spears were all vastly superior and more popular, Axes and maces/flails were far more useful than swords, there were weapons designed specifically to fuck up people using swords as well (swordbreakers)
In fact, swords were so awful that a legitimately effective use was to GRIP THE SWORD and whack people with the blunt handle.
CAN WE JUST DO AWAY WITH SWORDS FOR ONE GAME
