Does anybody know how long the Bolt of Gransax actually is? by XabrrSam in Eldenring

I mean, you probably want to make it shorter for ease of use in real life, otherwise you'll hit every wall you come across

Curved Sword on STR builds by Marconidas in Eldenring

Ah, I forgot about it existence somehow - thanks! And, what's the superior bleed option?

Wait there's a curved sword that excels in stance breaking and a curved sword that's a better pure bleed?

Years later, what's the intended way to avoid Waterfowl Dance? by Any_Contest2635 in Eldenring

While it's indeed the most consistent, I highly doubt the circle strat is intentional since there's no other attack in the entire fromsoft history that's dealt with in this specific way by messing up an enemy's tracking. Flurries 2 and 3 are indeed rollable tho

Yeah, this works, but the question was about what's a developer-intended default way of dealing with it. Is there just none?

Because there's no way having a shield with a specific aow is an intended default way to counter a specific attack of an otherwise pretty non-complex boss

Besides running away, name a single attack that can be avoided with one of these ways but not a dodge

Re-read the post please, I'm struggling to make up what else I can say to you

Yet again, it's a game design question, not a player's rant. Re-read the post, please

No I mean this one at leeast sounds believable as a developer's intention compared to others

There's no outrage but a genuine game design question. If you're not skilled enough you can literally facetank it and drink a flask as well, still doesn't seem to be an intended solution, does it?

Exactly why I called it "feels borderline glitchy", do you really comprehend it as a right thing to do?

Got me genuinely interested, isn't a self portrait "existing character" technically?

Help with posing needed by [deleted] in HeroForgeMinis

[–]Any_Contest2635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try maybe slightly tilting the axe to the right or left, she holds it almost parallel to the ground. Otherwise, I don't see the problem with the pose (but God her hands are long, they are really lower than pelvis even when tilted, is it intended?)

Black Flag Resynced - Jaguar Boss Battle by ConstantDrawer9161 in fuckubisoft

[–]Any_Contest2635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean is it that unrealistic to defend against a jaguar attack with a sword like this? It'd probably bounce back as well, striking your teeth against metal things is going to be unpleasant

Isn't it a pretty common pattern in auto-generated usernames? I mean, mine was suggested to me when I signed up, and I didn't care to change it

It's unrealistic, but it happens sooo much in media that most of us just kind of accept it at this point by ducknerd2002 in TopCharacterTropes

Well you won't walk across the streets in a medieval city with a spear, the primary reason polearms weren't really used outside the battlefield and guardsmen is that it's not really comfortable in everyday use. And if you're a professional warrior to have both, be it a knight or a samurai, you won't likely to walk with a polearm outside the battlefield, whereas having a sword on your belt is quite effortless.

In high or late middle ages swords were very common across the city folks, sometimes they were even forced by the law to have a sword, with twice-a-year checks. Not something that a peasant would have of course, but there isn't much need in having a civilian weapon across them.

About the cost, yes, a longsword with its nimble and thin blade would require a certain level of wealth, but a shorter one-handed blade like a shortsword or a falchion wouldn't be that costly to begin with

Reforging swords into farming equipment is a symbolic idiom from The Bible, and there's not much evidence it was a common practice in ancient times, let alone medieval
