What is your personal favorite sword in all the vidya?
Keep in mind this comes down to personal taste and not what the 'most powerful' is or some shit.

>>382904487
Ordon Sword.
it's simplicity gives it an air of elegance that I can't seem to find replicated in other games with regular swords. It has no flair, no gimmicks, no weird intricate designs. It is just a simple sword, made for a simple task.
>>382904487
That movie is fucking awesome, one of my personal favorites.
>>382904487
Not an original choice, but I'm claiming this.
>>382905271

>>382904487
i like big flat dual sided swords
alsowhat the fucking true origin of how arthur obtained excalibur? ive heard 2 different stories and im not surprised if theres a third. pulling it from a stone or
bestowed upon him by the Lady of the Lake
>>382905271
It looks like an overbuilt migration period/viking sword.
>>382906570
The sword in the stone was merely a test to see who was the True King.
Excalibur came from the Lady of the Lake.
>>382906570
I don't really know if this is the right place to discuss something this intricate, you're talking about 1500+ year old legends here
>muh edgy anime sword
but honestly I really liked how it actually transformed mid-combo into other weapons, shame it only did that in the first game
>>382906885
i just wanna get my lore straight since media keeps flipping back and forth with it. also, is it true the scabbard is actually the strongest of the two? with the sheath making the wearer immune to bleeding to death or something like that?
>>382906516
those suck too. umbra is the only sword worth a dick. 2 dicks even.

http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Eltonbrand
>>382907410
Yes it's true the scabbard is 'worth ten of the sword' because it enables god mode and you can never be killed with it. In one instance Excalibur was actually given to an opponent to Arthur and Arthur was given a fake, and Arthur was very badly cut up while the other guy was fine until the Lady of the Lake cast a spell and revealed the deception. Then Morgana threw away the scabbard and it was never seen again.
*chops your sword in half*

>what the fucking true origin of how arthur obtained excalibur? ive heard 2 different stories and im not surprised if theres a third. pulling it from a stone or
>bestowed upon him by the Lady of the Lake
He pulled Caliburn from the stone and lost it later.
Then het got Ekusukaribaaaaa from the lady in the lake.
Always though this was the coolest looking sword.
Shame it breaks and you can only "upgrade" it to the ugly ass Gilded Sword.

Well my personal taste is that the most powerful sword is the best sword, faggot.
Soul Reaver.
Not a huge fan of the physical blade, but the wraith blade is awesome.
And the amazing story behind it, and how intricately it's woven into the game's narrative is something I've never seen anywhere else in vidya.
All other greatswords need not apply
>>382906327

They function with similar logic to most nonsensical fantasy sword designs; they cut with magic, not with a steel edge.

>>382910402
I'm sorry, but
>>382910190
Correct.
Now that's a flaming sword.
ashbringer will always be my favorite
Of course it's Excalib - uh, Aerondight.
I just can't help it. Even if the concept of shooting a bullet into your blade to vibrate it so that the cut does much worse wound is retarded I still love it.

When it came out it got mixed reviews, the portrayal of Merlin got panned. I really liked him though.
>>382909846
I came here to post this. such an attractive sword its just such a shame that it didn't really match the executioners set and that it had shit stat's and special effect and bland move-set. such an abused beauty.
>>382916617

>>382904487
I kinda like the Dragon's Tooth Sword from Reinstallation simulator 2001

>>382916990
>the portrayal of Merlin got panned.
Odd. Him and Arthur were my favorites.
Merlin was charming, cunning and mysterious, more like a man who has learned his art than "Yo' I'm a wizadd castin' spells n' shit!", as lots of wizards are depicted nowadays.

Can't say exactly if it's my ultimate personal favorite, but Daystar of BG2 is definitely in the high places for me.

>>382904487

>>382923562
but where does the bullet go?
>>382915816
Holy fuck how many times am I going to need to post this?
You're misunderstanding how the gunblade is supposed to work. Guns are extremely advanced in the FF8 setting. A trained soldier can barely keep himself from falling over after firing a three round burst, that's how powerful the recoil is. The gunblade fires blanks, not bullets. A bullet would break the blade. When you pull the trigger while swinging the sword the force of the recoil causes the sword to swing even faster than what you're muscular effort can do on its own. The force from the recoil is so great that it also causes the blade to vibrate with such a high frequency that it could cut straight through steel. At least, that's how physics work in anime anyway. A skilled gunblade user in FF8 should be able to cut a fully armored man in half in a single swing. Someone unskilled is at risk of breaking their arms while trying to hold onto the sword at the end of the swing.

>>382919051
He failed to stop the hobbit and failed to stop 2 mordor games he can't do shit
>>382924465
There are no bullets. When you pull the trigger the blade vibrates.
Claymore in Souls series
>>382924412
Assassin's Creed Revelations is an underrated game.
>>382924481
>>382924465
The bullet immediately hits the blade end and is then presumably ejected or kept in the chamber.
>>382924727
Squal's gunblade clearly has bullets in the casing. Even his Renzokuken uses 6 presses before finisher.

>>382925847
It's actually not. Have you ever seen a two handed sword before? Better to have a half-retarded handle like that than a completely retarded handle like seifer.
>>382925079
Those are blanks dude, the problem is that nomura doesn't actually know how guns work, which is why he doesn't know that blanks have these silly tips, and he doesn't know that he shouldve actually turned the gun part upside down, because the way it is now the recoil would actually push the blade in the opposite direction of the edge, meaning you won't actually hit anything. You'll just break your wrists as soon as you pull the the trigger.

Excalibur is pure kino
It's hard to pinpoint a favorite sword. Ashbringer (Warcraft), Soul Edge, Soul Reaver (Legacy of Kain), and so many others. But, to name one that isn't already posted; Gunslash from Phantasy Star Online 2. It's essentially a gunblade, but with a laser bayonette and FUNCTIONAL gun. They can have absolutely wild designs, but the best ones are the pictured ones. They're so simple and sleek, and they were fun as fuck to play with, even if they weren't optimal weapons.

>>382916990
The metal cap is so aesthetic. And even more so the use of aluminium for shiny castles, or the extremely white & shiny armor.
>>382907410
In the most metal way too.
Its ambiguous if it means the wearer can't run out of blood to bleed, or if they simply do not lose blood while having large open wounds.
I wish there was a media other than Fate Stay Night that would even try to do justice to how bonkers Arthurs gigantic war chest is.

I don't think that's what it meant, if anything it meant that Lancelot came close but the magnitude of his sin prevented him from achieving it fully so all he got was the shitty wooden chalice as the half-crazy village priest.

This sword is what convinced me to play Dark Souls, I don't regret it. First weaponfu to make it to a phone case.

I like how anyone that sees a keyblade wonders how thr thing is functional and then it turns out that almost everyone in the franchise has been using them the wrong way.
I cant tell you why but i like it alot
Fuck off /tv/ most of you faggots only learned about this shitty movie from Zack Snyder

I don't know, maybe cloud's sword from advent children, but that's not a game, so the buster sword I guess
though that was when I was about 15, don't really like anime huge sword anymore

classically based arthurian writing varies on how much mystical power he has. For instance, the one and future king, or the definitive modern version of the arthurian legends doesnt talk much about excalibur or caliburn all that much, and focuses on the larger plot. I havent read the death of arthur yet, but since the once and future king is meant to be a faithful adaption, its possible that that has very little mention either.
Hollowslayer greatsword is so satisfying to use.
Lucatiel had a hard life.

This. Austerity in weapons is beauty, anyone who likes the stupid oversizedfuckhuegxtradragonawesome swords over things like pic related never grew mentally past 14.

Out of the way, fags. Best sword coming through.
is heavily modded Oblivion the closest I can possibly get to a jolly King Arthur knight adventure in video games? Is this my special hell?
The Long Sword 'Ringil' (4d5) (+22,+25)
---------------------------------------
It increases your speed by 10. It slays trolls, undead, and all evil
creatures, and is especially deadly against demons. It is branded with
frost. It provides resistance to cold, fear, and light. It is blessed by
the gods, slows your metabolism, lights the dungeon around you, and speeds
your regeneration. It grants you immunity to paralysis and the ability to
see invisible things. It activates for frost ball (100) every 40 turns.
It cannot be harmed by the elements.

Ringil is Fingolfins sword. What bullshit game ripped it off.

For real tho. It's got such a unique aesthetic to it. Not even man at arms could replicate the look perfectly.
