Fable Weapon Survey

I was excluding the legendary weapons. Isn't the Solus Great sword the best?

In terms of actual attack power, yes. I have all the legendary weapons and I just like to go around and get kills with all of my weapons.

Hello.

Like I already mentionned on my reply at the post "Light vs. Heavy" many things depends on the enemy! I mean, come on! You aren't planning to go kill wasps with a Heavy Weapon?! Or start fighting Wraith with a katana...
Besides one of the main reasons people use Light Weapons is because your Hero's response to your mouse-click is faster then if you would use Heavy Weapons. So the reason some people chose Light is not because they might deal out less damage... But because they recieve less damage!
Someone mentionned that he's evil and has always got alot of guards to deal with, and that he hits them 2 times with a Light Weapon after wich they block and hit back. Well: If you know their routine battle strategy that good why won't you adapt yours to it? Simply hit them 2 times and then - knowing that they'll block and strike back - block their attack and continue hitting.
I also heard that all you guys like Longswords... O.K. But aren't Katana's more powerful and have an equal range, or is it the coolness that attracts your favour?

Well for myself i definitelly like axes!

those are a bit rare choise along the fable players i think.

well 1st i think axes look awesome
2st They fit perfectly for a rogue / bandit / barbarian kind of guys wich i play A lot.

3st they are wery usefull u can kill enemies with them , cut wood , slice bread? , hunt food , and throw them like tomahawk xD

(the third one is bit offtopic , so dont care about it)

Project 404, I think you're missing the point, why should I adapt my fighting style to the enemy? What advantage could there possibly be to allowing an enemy to live longer just so I can use a light weapon to beat him. If I'm fighting a guard then I'm not fighting him one on one. He's got buddies who are either trying to hit me in the back or are shooting at me. I don't have time to play three musketeers with these guys I'm going to kill them as quickly as possibly and I'm going to use the weapon that does that, which is Solus. I think you didn't even read my post about the blocking guards because you missed my point completely. My point was that light weapons do not make up for less damage with more hits because you tend to be able to get the same number of hits in against an enemy before they block. Yes, any weapon can beat any enemy (with the exception of Jack). But I like moving through games quickly and so I use heavy weapons.

[Project-404]

Yes, I did read your post...
I'm not saying that you must or should follow my advice, you fight as you want I'm just proposing a alternative solution.
I'm someone who likes a good and beatiful fight, so I use light weapons because they allow me to reach that goal. I not only train my game character but I'm also trying to make myself more of a hybrid so that I don't freeze with just one fighting technique.
You like to move through games quickly, I like to get the max out of them, everybody is different and I just noticed what you could if you ever wanted to try something als for a change...

i like good and long fight too.(its the only fun thing to do after you finish the game )
my favorite weapon is the SOA,quick,good shape(unlike AT)and uhhhhhh...
looks cool

[Skorm_himself]

i just found a new favourite! Pickhammers

they have small piercing abilities (at least it feels like it)

and they look awesome on my Evil character

just obtained Wellow's pickhammer, its awesome tool
ofcourse pickhammers aint the best weapons in the game , maybe even the worst , but i still like them

[Project-404]

I might be affected by Runescape, but I think more of Pickhammers as a mining tool rather then of a weapon...
I try not to use them.
(Not saying you shouldn't).

[Skorm_himself]

a coinsidence (TYPO's)
i just lost my love with pickhammer's
Played with wellows pichammer so much now that it starts to feel like a mining tool indeed.
i quess i'll go back with the axe's now..
RONOK THE AXE

Its a pity though, that other more heavier weapons like the greatswords, hammers and other types of weapons lack the ability to stab an enemy especially when he/she is lying on the ground unconscious. Only longswords and cleavers can do that, which, in my opinion, will make them more preferable to the heavier weapons. If all weapons are created with that in mind, I'd would have chosen a greatsword. Pity they lack this.

[Project-404]

Um... Des...
The Solus Greatsword, the most powerful weapon in the game can stab enemies... So can Greatswords or anything that is sharp and pointy.
I agree that it is a pity Greathammers and Greataxes don't have a 'finish him' attack, it seems obious that you should be able to smash the enemies skull or cut off his head while he is lying there uncontious, but alas, that option is not included.

I think its really interesting that so many of the good swords like Sword of Aeons and Avo's Tear and Harbinger all look bigger than greatswords.

Really? I thought that's restricted to the longswords and cleavers only. Could be possible that the greatsword I was wielding at that time was blunt at the top and my character resorted to kicking the crap out of the unconscious enemy rather than stabbing him .

Yeah, they do look pretty long. In fact, almost as long as the greatswords themselves oddly enough.

[Project-404]

Des, do you have just Fable or TLC? I've got TLC and any sharp pointed weapon can finish an uncontious enemy...
