Since this takes place in the Victorian era, I was thinking it would be really cool if we saw dueling swords in Nightingale! I feel like the knives are a bit underwhelming and not as visually interesting as say, a rapier or a short sword. The main idea is that it could be similar to the knife but with longer reach but also it is inherently slower. Also it wouldn't be able to skin creatures.
I just always enjoyed the concept of a gun and a sword so I felt it would be a fun addition to the game. More weapon types in general, please!
There are more than a dozen different straight and curved swords in use in the 1800s and early 1900s. I would like a Spadroon
