One of the great things about video games is being able to hold and use weapons that you otherwise would never be able to experience. I can’t say I’ve ever had the pleasure of swinging around a giant warhammer, but being able to do it in Conan Exiles feels pretty damn neat.
So you got your daggers, swords, axes, bows, and more to pick and choose from whether that’s for utility or looks. But if you could add one more weapon type to the game, what would you add?
Offhand knife. Act as the opposite of other offhand weapons such as throwing axes.
Instead of taking away, it adds bleed to non-bleedig weapons.
So with a mace or sword, the last strike adds a bleed effect.
A proper combo set of light and heavy attacks for the 2 handed ax. I built them when they were introduced, and placed in a box after using them for about an hour. They need so much work.
I think I’d have to vote for some sort of polearms, too. Even though they were conspicuously absent in Howard’s Conan stories, halberds, pollaxes, glaives, and all sorts of European mishmashes of scythe blades, hammers, axe heads, hooks, spikes and coffee machines attached on top of a long stick were popular weapons in historical times due to their ability to actually hurt people wearing armor. But Howard was no expert in medieval combat, so in his stories, people cut through mail and hack through plate with swords.
Of course, swords are a lot cooler than bill-fauchard-glaive-guisarme-voulges. Easier to write, too.
My initial impulse was to say a new Crom Legendary such as a Greataxe or a Polearm. However, after some further contemplation I settled on this magnificent piece of master craftsmanship.
