    Everything can be realistic in a way that it could exist in our world. Most of these overdesinged swords however would be realistically not practical.

        Go read 2chan sometime. There's people angrily arguing about unrealistic guns and weapons same as everywhere else. We just make up what we think the Japanese are doing, but in actually it's a country of a 100 million people and thus has the same sorts of weirdos as in English speaking countries.

        One of my favorite threads of the last few years was on Ganker where we went diving on 2chan's cooking board and it was almost exactly the same. Even people arguing about the best cheap fast food, and why it isn't as good anymore. Was amazing.

      You know how I know that you are creatively bankrupt? Because you haven't created anything. Haven't written anything. Here you are on a Congolese yak-farming board and instead of putting your money where you mouth is you b***h and moan that others should create something for you.

      It's called 'elegance.' The admiration of good craftsmanship and design: that various utilitarian forms shape into something aesthetically pleasing with fine artistry. Immaculately detailed yet ultimately simplistic and holistic. To accomplish such a feat takes a strong mind.
      What you call realism is in fact good aesthetics. This is why so much modern weebshit looks overstimulated, overcrowded, and forgettable. Realistic? No, impracticable.
      Stormtroopers and blasters from Star Wars are a good example. They are not necessarily 'realistic' (they don't wear camouflage or anything) but their design is authentic and elegantly simple. It still looks practical.
      Just look at this suit of Gothic armor and see what I mean. Fine craftsmanship yet eminently practical. Beautiful and memorable, this was made by a fine genius.

        Simple really does look the best.

        Making things just for the sake of them being elegant is a waste of time, like engravings for example.
        You're right that it's practical. Each part serves a specific purpose in most armor, from it's shape to it's overall design and material. The "elegance" you see now is what we subcribe to it emotionally. Humans love tools, we especially remember those that are effective, that is a primal mechanism.

            Arming Sword of Shame and Disgrace -3
            1d6-3 20-20/×1.5
            Deals 4 psychic damage to wielder with every attack, regardless if hit or miss.
            During a critical attack, the enemy has to roll DC 10+WIS modifier. On a failed save, the victim becomes dazed for one round and suffers 4 psychic damage as well.
            With every blow struck, there is a 5% chance the blade permanently bends, thus improving the weapon into a Piece of Trash +0, which works as a club and deals 1d6 damage, losing the psychic damage property as well.

            Cast out of pure aluminium by one of the Order founder's alcoholic cousin as a means to lounder money. Used as a means to discipline unruly soldiers when they are too high rank to order them digging latrines.

            Adds 25% thunder damage to your attacks (meaning you do 100 slash damage you do 25 thunder on top of it) 1/10 chance of stun (1-3 rounds). Increases your aggro gain and visibility by 30%.
            Classified as a rapier so it sparks thrust skills in addition to slash.

          100%, but the other branches are just as bad. It's part of the territory having a group that's nearly all men and has pretty strict rules that college-educated people (i.e., nerds) are always the highest leader positions.

          I used to work for a defense contractor and dealt with different branches regularly. I wish I could find a picture of it on google, but we had this one contract that was about basically just engineering an electrical grid, super boring stuff, and they came up with a challenge coin and banner for it. It had a Benjamin Franklin skull and lightning bolts on it, because electricity lol. Looked completely unnecessarily badass for what we were doing. Pic related is pretty close to how it looked, but slightly different.

              Whatever, gay. Everyone in the thread is aknowledging they look cool, but it's also fine to admit they look gaudy and a bit over-the-top. The funny part is that these dudes create things trying to "speak to the human soul" every time they do anything. Go look up contract challenge coins. Every fricking piece of boring management software, infrastructure project, or slight tweak to a weapon system gets its own set of custom artwork plastered with eagles, skulls, lightning bolts, sharks, etc. It's what happens when every project is worth a zillion dollars: what's a few extra hundred or thousand to commission some art and goodies? Put that in the hands of a hyper-masculine organization like the military, and you get what people have been posting. It can be both cool and ridiculous at the same time.

                This was never claimed.

                Shouldn't have replied to me with your mental illness and we would've been fine. Anime brained shitters, literally. I'll break your ligaments in 10 seconds with a stick if any of you starts this convo with me ever. Swordfighting is a beautiful art and you subhumans will never understand

                Read the thread subject one more time, subhuman. You see the word "Realistic"? It's not offtopic. It's literally the original thread post (which you tried to backpedal as it's not in 100% of the threads up above).
                The video shows a REALISTIC greatsword, which is what Dragonslayer is supposed to be. Which is both ontopic and realistic. Die in a fire homosexual weeb trash.

                This is why they didn't teach swordmanship to random shitters in the gutter. You should first learn to write without subhuman jargon.

                You are wrong and instead of admitting that you come up with one weak defense after the other. Your post may be ontopic with OP all you want (which it isn't) that doesn't explain why you replied to the chain the way you did. If you're so upset with OP then reply to OP not a chain that started a other discussion simple as.
                >It's literally the original thread post
                It's literally isn't. You picked one word out of the OP and suddenly you're ontopic.
                >The video shows a REALISTIC greatsword, which is what Dragonslayer is supposed to be.
                lol, where's the source to that? Even if the Dragonslayer was supposed to be a real greatsword that wasn't claimed by any of the posters here and didn't need to be disproven. The whole discussion you replied to was about the requirements to use fictional swords you added nothing to that discussion and got called out for it. You're to stubborn to admit that your wrong. You know that pride is a cardinal sin, don't you anon?

    Ceremonial weapons have existed for most all of history and no they weren't used in combat, precisely because they were expensive symbolic pieces of authority or honor so you wouldn't go tarnishing it hacking into flesh and armor.

      Yes, but they looked regal and not like they were plastic toys from everything for 2$ shops.

    Can I get some feedback my 64x64 textures? Anyone is free to use these in their game, if you want, but they don't tile (yet).

    The Sword of the Air Force is in fact much like Crystalis. It is the key to activating Americas Self Destruct system that would basically lay waste to the human life on Earth.

    RPG swords aren't realistic in our world, but that doesn't matter, what matters is that for that setting and that context that the sword and weapons make sense.
