I actually go for spears or other polearms whenever possible, they are way cooler than swords to me.
Me too. Sadly, spears rarely get much love in RPGs. I’ve always wanted a) spears to qualify as finesse weapons and b) to make a dexterity build that dances about with a spear and takes advantage of distance. Just recently I started replaying neverwinter nights, with PRC (like every DND race/class combo) to experiment with builds.

Gonna be binging the new book this weekend
I’ve finished it a few days ago. You’re in for a ride and a half
This guy would bang my dead mom instead of using a spear? What an L.
Did they came from Nier by any chance? That, previous and following games have a hard veiny imbalance for long pointy objects.
Anon doesn’t know the glorious javazon.
thrust, sure fine. It’s okay.
Ineffective bonk or thwack? embarassing. humiliating. Just plain silly.
Tossing the whole damn spear? Amazing. Doubly so when you land a headshot.
BUT WHEN YOU COUCH THAT LANCE
BUT WHEN YOU COUCH THAT LANCE
Mount and Blade intensifies.
Thrust, throw, use as a defensive wall, there we go 3 uses
The spear is the only other weapon that will damage the Mana Beast in Secret of Mana other than using the spells to awaken the Mana Sword.
You can swing them if you want.
Spears are cool and I will show you why they are cool if you fight me
I’ve been trying a throwing spears only challenge in New Vegas… it isn’t going well. Spears suuuuuuuck in NV.
Reminds me of lance in monster hunter world, it’s literally just thrust over and over again. I will never understand people that like it (yes, the charge is kinda cool)
I find the movement awkward, i tried it in mh4u and mhw and both time even with the movement tweak by the dev, it just didn’t feel right to me that i dodge backward where i facing.
Dude doesn’t even recognize the fact that you can still attack with a spear while your shield is raised in blocking position. 🤦♂️
I love Spectral Lance in Elden Ring. Turn any spear into a throwable weapon.
The stance damage is wild too
This pisses me off fuck fuck fuck, you know how when you were younger you would try doing cool tricks with a long stick? Imagine that but with a spear, spin thrust throw block defend ughhh I’m gonna kill you anon
Glaives it is then.
Lest we forget halberds.
Crossing your halberd with your bro gives the best “you shall not pass” energy.
