User blog:Zsarock/Something that bugs me about DKII...

I don't know if it has been stated previously or even if somebody has noticed it, but something I REALLY loved fom the original game was how "realistic" (if one can say something like that about a video game) the equipment looked and how detailed everything was: from the armor to even the arrows.

And now, waiting for one and a half year for DKII to come aout my expectations about those particular things were pretty high: armor design, detailing, cloaks, capes heck even expected if the pieces of the armor would have had some kind of individual movement when your character walked (too much, I know) and I can't say how pleased I am with everything... except for one... little... thing...

NO SWORD SHEATHS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, really? REALLY, FROM SOFTWARE?!?!? This game was "supposed" to be a step up from the previous one, graphically and gameplay wise, and it is! But, come on!!! I don't know how difficult it can be to design/program something as simples as a sheath/scabbabrd for your weapon! Every sword in Dark Souls had its own scabbard (ok, not EVERY sword, but most of them had) and that added a sense of realism to the game and depth to the lore, they felt like real weapons that where wielded by real soldiers/warriors/heroes... And made your char look more badass. Oh! And don't forget that when you dual wielded your bow (when in your left hand) your charactert actually sheathed his sword in order to use the bow HOW COOL WAS THAT!!?!!?!!?!?!?

Drangleic must have some kind of magic force that keeps your weapons attached to your hips/back when not in use.

Rant Mode: OFF.

Needed to get that out of my chest.

Praise the Sun!
