What do you think about the Whole people fighting demons with magical swords thing. More Importantly would you prefer it to average life?

Watching it is good for escapism, living it would be a total hell.

If I could live through, that might an exciting and fun life. That's a big if though.

I'd like to see you live in Demon's Souls. Forever getting killed by demons just to get revived and do it all over again. Yes it's fun for escapism, but I would not live it.

True but would you do it if given the chance?
No, unfathomable amount of pain just to look BA for onlookers and a chance to work out some adrenaline and anger. Id pass.

answer to question 1: I like it. A lot.

answer to question 2: Assuming we are talking about being actually capable to do so, then yes I would. But if, say, a dimensional vortex showed up tomorrow and I was given the opportunity to go fight demons with a magical sword as I am now, it would be tempting but I'd have to decline due to the extreme likelihood that I would die within a moment or two.

That being said, the idea is up there in a list of personal fantasies.

Nope.
Would it be kinda cool to work in the military? Yes.
Would I also go through physically grueling training, sleep in an uncomfortable bed, risk my life if I ever got deployed to a combat zone, and possibly suffer PTSD?
Also yes.

It might be kinda cool, but I wouldn't want it as my day job.

Ye it might be cool try out something like that but I prefer to be a spectator like through a game when there is no real phsyical danger in such cases. So no I would not really prefer it to life like it is now.

Before I had a kid, YES. Now... no.

No

Sure you would have a sword and there would be demons. But who actually here can handle a sword like all those heroes in those RPGs? Most of us could barely hit something let alone make sick insane combos.

if you had a regular sword and your were fighting a demon, you probably wouldn't last very long. It would kinda have to be a magic sword.

Only if I was actually good at using the magical sword. if I was just me, my life expectancy would be around 12 minutes after leaving the womb.

yes, typical life is boring and at least I'd have a magic sword. Also I'm pretty confident with a sword and assuming they did things in traditional anime style, AKA not sending the will insta-kill you enemies at me right off the bat, quite fulfilling I would say.

Aw hell yeah!
I've trained my whole life to fight shit with swords. As a kid it was beating up my neighbor with a big stick and now at 19 I beat up my neighbor with a bigger stick. Theres no way I could lose!

I shall wield bullet and blade in accord. Demons shall fear me,for they shall not be safe if they tread far or near,for they will find death at any range of my sight.

Haha! "total hell". With demons no less! :p

On topic:

Well it was kind of cool when Devil May Cry came out. But since then I sort of get the feeling that swords are starting to become pretty cliché weapons to use against demons.

That's why the Warhammer 40.000 setting is pretty awesome. Yes there are daemons, and yes some people use power swords to fight them. But there are so many different kinds of weapons to use against the daemonic, like Daemonhammers, Psycannons, psychic powers, soulless people whose void-like prescence drain daemons of their ability to remain materialized in the material plane, special weapons firing rounds carefully inscribed with runes of anathematic incantations etc. etc.

Fun for the whole family! :p
