Nightingale needs swords. It seems like a major missed opportunity that this game does not have swords as a melee weapon. Swords are a major weapon in the fantasy genre, and were a massive status symbol in most civilizations on earth. A game with a Victorian aesthetic with massive fantasy/Fey influences that doesn’t contain swords is a bit mind blowing.
I’ve talked about it with some friends, and thier response is “swords aren’t gathering tools, so they do t make sense” but my response is that many gathering tools make 0 sense as weapons, so that shouldn’t prevent swords. Besides, many swords could be used for skinning animals, or gathering plant material.
Arming swords, side swords, rapiers, machetes, something- Nightingale needs swords
