I don't have much hope for any of that to change but i would think it should at least be possible to make a few weapons usable.

What a joke, we are on a purgatory mystical realm and you want to remove the very thing Vikings are known for, this is hilarious in a sad way.

What do you think Grim wants to remove? Sounds to me like they're talking about ways to expand the game.

Look, we have established rules for this. If you're gonna be launching magic projectiles while undead you're supposed to look like a litch.

Seriously though, mystic fantasy realms still need to mostly operate the same as our universe or you'd have the gameplay equivalent of reading House of Leaves.

after doing a caveman run i made up, (if you want it then ask) the game is 10 times easier, anything is easier than a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spear

The best version of that is undead archers sniping you from the sea floor. Those guys are plain breaking physics.

I did a playthrough with just troll armour and knife - assassin style. Zero speed penalty. Almost zero stamina. So fun.

i was just thinking this the other day.. my current guy is mostly a knife fighter and man i wish he could hang onto it while swimming.. knife fighting is so fun

Yeah knives are def getting more love now, they would be op if you could wield in water and dare I say dual wield

+1

I beat down serpents until they're within a single hit to death. Then I jump on their back and kill them. Usually, I draw a bow and shoot them on the way down. I get the trophy and scales that way too. If you're really lucky, you might be able to balance on their back for a second or two, enough to get a swing in (if you haven't killed them already).

Badass

Never understood games that won't let you draw a hand held weapon while swimming, yet the mobs seem OK to throw things at you, shoot stuff, etc.
