When creating the main character's weapon, we tried to observe:
1. Historicity - weapons must correspond to the era and location.
2. Originality - swords are too common, the God of War already has an axe
3. Interesting - so that it would be pleasant to own it, it's a matter of taste, but for us personally, such a weapon as a spear did not fit this criterion.
Having reviewed a lot of weapon options. We settled on two options:
Shestoper or mace-morgenstern.
The six-pointer corresponded well to the point of interest. It was a pleasure to own such a weapon. This weapon was used by the Cold Valley Vord, which Dark Souls 3 fans could appreciate. But this weapon had a problem with historicity. This weapon appeared at a later time. And it appeared on the territory of Western Europe.
The club had exactly the opposite situation - it was not so interesting, but it fully corresponded to historicity.
As a result, our artist decided to draw both options and compare them in the game.
He drew the club first and immediately after the image was received, all doubts disappeared.
The model turned out to be very successful. And it was clearly decided to use this particular weapon, since now it is not only historically correct, but also interesting. I want to own this club, it makes me want to use it in battle.
Just in case, the shestoper was also drawn, but the result only confirmed the decision.
The weapon turned out to be beautiful, but it could not surpass the first option, but I think it's even for the best.
