Hey, that's my Japanese Officer Sword you're talking about! It won't slice through tanks, but it did end quite a few Chinese lives during the 1st Sino-Japanese and later the 2nd.[/quote]mrhappyface said:

Damn! Finally someone says that. I'd have to agree.Kharloth said:
The Ripper is bloody awesome, especially when you have the "+5 damage to ghouls" perk that actually gives you +5 damage to everyone. For every hit. And each link in the chainsaw counts as a hit. Thus, you get something huge like +100 dps with the ripper, while the Power Fist only gets +5 dps or so.
I don't care if it's a glitch or unrealistic, it's bloody awesome. The only down side is the speed at which it wears out...

Well I dont really like them because I have studied, both in theory and in practice, eastern and western martial arts. I know how the katana has been over glorified into a God-among-men weapon, and it just pisses me off. You know a well crafted longsword can be just as dangerous in the right hands.....
Honestly, Katana. That or spears/polearms. Mainly, because I've had actual training in all of two melee weapons; katana and polearms... mostly katana though. I don't have a problem with western weapons, I've just had more experience with the katana. Frankly, I also appreciate that it is a very fast weapon, and still fairly deadly, being a two-handed weapon.
Next choice would be machete and axe, which are very fast and high-impact, respectively. Or brass knuckles; I can punch like a beast. Still, I'd much rather take out an enemy from as much distance as possible; thankfully I'm a good shot, especially with pistols.
Chainsword would be pretty fun too... All the blood-spray of a chainsaw without all the clogging or annoying unable-to-penetrate-powered-armor problems

If we're extending this to sci-fi weapons, then I'd go for a Power Fist (or Thunder Hammer) over a light-saber any day... I'm talking 40K version, not Fallout. Lightsaber might cut through anything, but even that can't take out a tank with ONE hit.Sketchy said:

I hear ya on that. I actually prefer close range over long. My aim sucks, but I tand to be able to keep my cool in hand to hand. I like to get close and personal with my opponent because thats how most people crack. Hence my preferred choice of a short Italian longsword (i know there is contradiction in there but its actually possible to have a short longsword) with a Stilletto in my off-hand.klakkat said:
And I used to play warhammer 40,000k. The tabletop not the video game. And I had an eldar army that could turn any space marine unit of equal point value into my little power armored B*****es...... those were good times....
V.A.T.S.
If that doesn't count, Morrigan's Bear Form in Dragon Age: Origins. The Summon Bear spell in Oblivion was awesome, but it didn't let you be a bear.
FINALLY THE GODS HAVE GRANTED ME THE FAVOUR OF BECOMING THE MOST FEARSOM THING TO EVER LIVE! FUCK THE BLIGHT, I'M A GODDAMN BEAR!! BOW BEFORE MY MIGHT!- is what I said as soon as I saw that spell in her list.
Actually, she's pretty scary by herself.
