View Full Version : coolest looking weapon? (BG-TotSC-SOA-ToB)
casey Fri, 27th Feb '04, 2:08pm Maybe I should make this as a poll but I'm lazy so I won't
Anyway this is a difficult question imo as so many weapons in BG look great, theirs plenty of very good looking vanilla enchanted weapons but none of them really stand out, so I'd say the Equaliser, followed by CF.
david w Fri, 27th Feb '04, 2:10pm The Ravager is a pretty nifty looking weapon. And the Flail of Ages +5.
Telcontar Fri, 27th Feb '04, 2:14pm Equilazer, Crom, Carsomyr, F.o.Ages...
Lynx Lupo Fri, 27th Feb '04, 2:31pm the Equalizer, the Gesen bow and the potion of firebreath(i think-orange gradient) come to my short mind.

Aldeth the Foppish Idiot Fri, 27th Feb '04, 4:26pm Well, it depends a bit on whether or not your talking about how they look in your inventory, or how the look on-screen. For example, I think Flame Tongue looks pretty cool if your character is equipped with it.
Baronius Fri, 27th Feb '04, 5:35pm The Moonblade of Xan and the Flaming Sword (used by e.g. Doom Guards) in BG1 and TotSC. In BGII, they made the flaming effect trashy. In BGII, the glowing effects (RGB glowing) of weapons are cool. But without doubt, the coolest are the BG1 ones mentioned above.
Bloodtitan Fri, 27th Feb '04, 6:07pm Baldurans Butterknife ! cant be beaten !!
Baronius Fri, 27th Feb '04, 7:58pm It was a good item indeed. It has no use though, at least I could not use it. They should have added 1D2 damage however! :)
Benan Fri, 27th Feb '04, 8:57pm The Drow weapons look cool.
JSBB Fri, 27th Feb '04, 9:25pm I like how the mace of disruption looks. Sure it is probably completely unpractical as far as weapon design goes but it looks nice.
I remember cursing greatly at how the mace turned normal looking after being upgraded until I found the mod that gives the upgraded variety its proper appearance.
In terms of how it looks outside of inventory pictures I would have to agree that BG1 flaming swords are very nice.
A bit off topic, but I also like the glowing green and acid dripping animations for acidic weapons in NWN.

Winterine Sat, 28th Feb '04, 12:18am I like any weapon on-screen that glows :) Hehe!
Varied Sundries Sat, 28th Feb '04, 3:14am The Short Sword of Mask looks pretty cool in the inventory screen, as well as the Ravager. The Axe of the Unyielding has a creative, almost-not-an-axe design. Most of the TOB weapons are pretty well-designed, at least aesthetically.
casey Sat, 28th Feb '04, 4:20am Aldeth, just whatever you want, if you like the avatar apperance say so, if you like the image say so, doesnt matter just whatever you like.
I think they should have made a blue flameblade type apperance for the Equlizer, and also why isn't their an upgrade for it? it's awesome roleplay wise like any historical weapon you have to forge, sucH as Crom and FoA it should be upgraded to be powerful imo and their are so few good longswords until ToB. The MoD unupgraded reminds me of a brick, but better the the bs apperance of the upgraded one.
Kam Sat, 28th Feb '04, 4:25am Call me crazy, but I really like the inventory look of the Silver Sword. Not too elaborate, not too plain, just a sword meant for killing. Incidentally, I didn't like the looks of most of the TOB weapons. They seemed, I don't know, too embellished. Why couldn't they have a plain looking powerfull weapon like Pale Justice?
Malovae Sat, 28th Feb '04, 4:41am Not official but Kuriosan's, Sanchpuchu (however you spell it) katana is very cool looking.
Jaguar Sat, 28th Feb '04, 11:31am @Kam
You're crazy.
But I agree with you. The plain swords just look more ... efficient.
omnigodly Sat, 28th Feb '04, 5:37pm I gotta say the plan weapons do look best. When it comes down to it, it's awsome killing someone that's incredibly powerful with something that looks like you found it in a poo hole!!
Varied Sundries Sun, 29th Feb '04, 1:17am Yes, omnigodly, I agree that Lilarcor is also a slick piece of steel.
Abomination Sun, 29th Feb '04, 1:27am A dwarf dual wielding crom and runehammer. They both glow the same colour yet at exact opposite intervals.
The picture of the flail of ages looks more like a wind chime than a weapon of mass destruction.
And nobody can forget Xan's moonblade effect :)
casey Sun, 29th Feb '04, 1:36am IS their a way to edit Equiliser to make it more powerful and possibly give it the moon blade effect? I don't actually have the original BG anymore but I have the Xan character file downloaded from SP so maybe that would work?
Shadow Steele Mon, 1st Mar '04, 5:17am I also like the short sword of Mask
Benan Mon, 1st Mar '04, 6:34am The dagger that Bohdi gives you to place at the scene of the muder is pretty cool looking.
