I had planned to do this , but I need it dark to do this xd <| sep |> You have a point , sure . But for me , no weapon in Dark souls has ever matched the flair and fun factor of a trick weapon . I guess the main thing is that weapons within a class are all for the most part interchangable . A greatsword is a greatsword , straight sword is a straight sword , curved is curved and so on . I wish they had done a bit more to give each weapon a bit more personality . Take the washing pole for example . It is exactly the same as any katana , only longer and it can ' t r 1 combo . There are exceptions , for sure . But i do wish weapons were a bit more fleshed out in the Dark Souls games . Still love the games to death though . That being said , the magic system is much more robust in Dark souls and pretty much any build i spend time playing involves magic in some way .
