Criticisms: Beowulf's Blade (Holstered Position, Unholstering Animation)

roninwolf1981

As much as I enjoyed using Beowulf's Blade, I feel there are some things I do have to nitpick about this ground weapon:
-Holster Position
-Unholstering Animation
-Hand Positioning/Grip

2 major nitpicks I have towards Beowulf's Blade are the Holstered Position and the Unholstering Animation. Seeing that Beowulf's Blade is larger (longer, broader, and heavier) than the Elysian Spellsword, I think it would make more sense for Beowulf's Blade to be holstered on the user's back rather than at the hip. Beowulf's Blade also doesn't have an Unholstering Animation, and having it unholstered from your back would be rather appropriate.



A minor nitpick I have with Beowulf's Blade is the grip; the hand seems a bit too far removed from the crossguard. A better grip would be with the hand right up against the crossguard. Another possibility would be a double-handed grip for the idle stance, not unlike these images.

I would think that Beowulf's Blade being a much larger and heavier sword, that it would also necessitate a double-handed grip.
