>>97423243Giant swords are great if they actually make sense.
You know, when you’re facing cavalry/yuge monsters on a regular basis that you need a blade edge and weight to cut through after its been pinned by spears, and/or are heavily armored and facing other heavily armored foes to the point you can actually hold it by the blade and use the handle as a club or hold it at the ready and use it as a polearm.
But yeah, giant swords for no reason and used like a regular sword that weighs about 12 lb. is terrible. Especially when guns are cheap and readily available (remember guns existed about as long as knights did, but they were expensive, inaccurate, and slow to reload making them only useful in certain situations).
