I’m sick of broadswords, longswords, greathammers, greatswords and especially katanas. Give me more spears.

    the moment you make a spear versatile it stops being a spear.
    a true speargay should enjoy his pokes

              you could say that about any weapon with the weapon art nonsense. its base moveset is lacking and it doesn't have anything cool about it like leo counters and dead angles

      Pokes-only can be very entertaining
      >Overhand poke
      >Underhand poke
      >Full body lunge
      >Half-body upwards thrust
      >Backstepping thrust
      >Handle-shortened stabs

      6 moves and not a single swipe or slash involved.

      A good spear with the same length as the user's height functions perfectly as a quarterstaff. Swinging, striking and using the shaft for leverage is a fundamental part of individual spear combat outside of formations and tunnel fighting.
      One is not a true speargay if they aren't swinging that shit around when it's possible. Only stabs/thrusts is moronic.

    The core problem is that generally there are no weapongays on the dev teams so that's why you always get swords as the best thing available.

    Was more or less functionally identical to other weapons in the very early crpg/wizardry days, so they went mostly for swords which are more "regal" or "chosen one" material
    Then, on the jump to 3d spears would never work (without a frickton of clipping that is) as well as shorter weapons in the claustrophobic maze environments allowed by the hardware
    This inertia has carried over to the current day since modern devs were kids swinging swords in this 3d era

    Spears are boring because they are meant to be used in formation.

    Swords are easily carried when not in use (scabbard) which makes them a more practical weapon for adventuring which is why they're the default weapon for characters in fantasy games.

    Polearms are for soldiers. Swords are for travelers.

        the fact that they phased that out into gladius legionnaires in their peak roman empire should tell you something.
