It’s been 1 year and no smaller skins…
Even WoW have tons of “normal” looking 2H swords skins.
This is a fantasy game and gigantic weapons are cool.
Das it
Cool for some stupid for some. Best way is to provide skins. Like they didn’t for GA and WH but then was too many problems to acknowledge people complains.

Like seriously thank you. I’m surprised to see so many people bothered by weapon size here.
Really guys?
It’s how big the hammer is? That’s what bothered your booty? Not it shooting energy waves???
Can you imagine how fucked up your arms would be after slamming the ground at full force in the attempt to send a shockwave with even just a sledgehammer, never mind those monstrosities? Just so we’re clear, absolutely do not go trying this, it will hurt.
Can you imagine hurling a two-handed axe ten meters straight? AND IT’S THE SIZE THAT GETS YOU, NOT THE GRAVITY ANOMALY IT CAN CREATE AT WILL?
Realism was dead at the doorstep, guys.
Be so lucky, Greatsword is at least composite of skills that make sense for it and don’t involve, I don’t know, a whole-ass laser.

Yea bro really. Even fantasy need to have some rules. There was lots of complains for WH and GA at the beginning of the game. People don’t complain because it’s not close to realism, we complain because it simply the GS looks fat and stupid.

You guys why don’t understand. We are talking about the aesthetic, realism of the art style. We discussed that so many times in this topic and still someone comes with the same thing.
It’s not about the shockwaves or some magical things, it’s about how it looks.

Idk, for me it’s looking for a problem which is not there. For me it all looks uniform
You’re saying that you “talk about aesthetic and realism and art style” while the only thing you said is that you don’t like those weapons because they are big, like really? Apart from everything that could cause you a headache by it’s design, you decided that is the two-handed weapons that are wrong. Grow up man and leave your realism behind
Yes we don’t like the fat design of the GS but most of us don’t mind if they introduce thinner skins so both variants can exist in game.

It’s not my realism. It’s the game itself. Why you guys insist on not understanding.
They designed all the visuals and graphics in realistic manner. And those giant axes, swords and hammers are contrast with that. This is what i’m saying. It looks like a lightsaber in Battlefield 2.
However all other weapons have varied skins, some looks like real fantasy while some looks like medieval style realistic weapons. Like robin hood bow and dragon bow.
Because other weapons designed realistically, they can shape it into any fantasy shape they want with various skins. But even the raw model of greatsword looks like some anime shit.
What i’m saying is, they should design some sort of thinner, realistic look two handed weapons. While all other weapons have realistic alternative as well as fantasy alternative, those two handed weapons look like anime product because of their size and width. And there are no alternatives to it. Every skin based on same design.
However i just want to see more realisticly designed another two handed weapon at least. Or at least they could rework greatsword model.

There might be other reasons in greatsword of being this wide. It is just popular look. If you ask someone “how greatsword would look like”, maybe most of the answers would be that is big and wide. I think the size of greatsword is reasonable because of perk that allows you to block arrows and bullets. Might sound funny at first, and you can call it anime shit that sword is blocking projectiles, but it has to be wide in order to do that. The other reason for that might be just simple opacity, as I think thin greatsword could be confusing at first contact
Agree but they mistake the continent.
Additional skins would solve the style problem only partially, since I’d still have to look at the oversized swords of other players. But I guess I’ll live with that.

Did they shrink the Gaxe or WH?
And again, it’s not like they can’t shrink it later on.
I just don’t see it as nearly as much of a problem.
something more like these pics. A ridge down the middle would add depth to it and not look like a giant butter knife.

Definitely need to work on making that realistic healing staff and void gaunlet and spells too. Not in any way like the real world.

You may want to sound intelligent but you fail. We don’t want to be exactly like in real life. Just not to look stupid like you would carry a big massive piece of metal on your back. Many of us just want skin and in that way both versions will exist.
How many more people are going to misunderstand this conversation and come with comments about magic not being real…
I’m team “sword too thicc”. It looks stupid. When multiple people are running with them upright it reminds me of a bunch of circling sharks with their fins sticking out of the water. It’s distracting.
