Would you accept a Pistol if....

...but it isnt focused on melee combat?

I guess if you count pryo and magic then not really but then the two lead to close up melee figthts. But pistols have too much range and would it overused. Also bullets would be too strong unless you have heavy armor.

.... Crossbows and Bows have too much range, they aren't overused.

Whose to say the pistol shoots bullets? Maybe Erryiss figured out how to make a gun that shoots crystals or Soulmass?

Guns

Pros:High damage
instantaneous speed
Quick startup animation

Cons:Slow reload
expensive ammo
Doesn't scale
Low durability
Slow recovery

No.

I've always felt that gunpowder was one of the worst things that ever happened to combat.

Now, we live in a day where you don't even have to have any skill whatsoever. You just press a button and an entire city can be incinerated.

Lame.

A Crystal Pistol is about as atmosphere breaking and not in theme as much as a Triple Shot Crossbow, or a giant head peice that's twice the size of the character already.

they fit in the souls world though. go to COD if you want guns, come here for swords, magic, armor.

Did not read comments.

No guns......just...no. :evil:

By that logic, go play Skyrim if you want Dragons, and Dark Souls 2 should be about Gods.

The day they include guns is the day I stop playing.

If people really, really have the urge to go around in boats firing muskets and cannons I would recommend Napoleonic wars, it's a great multiplayer game. Didn't Two Worlds 2 do a pirate dlc as well? I can't remember things these days.
On topic: there is no need for them as ranged weapons are already over-saturated in choice as it is.

no, dragons fit into dark souls, guns never could no matter how hard you try to implement them.

Repeating and automatic crossbows (chu-ko-nu/lian nu) existed in ancient and medieval times, so I'd disagree on that particular point.

As for the Symbol of Avarice, you may be right - though there's a strong argument for it being a roleplaying/dress-up-as-enemy item. But that doesn't mean I want Symbols or guns in the sequel.

How so? Gunpowder exists due to Firebombs and Black Fire Bombs. Someone who made a triple-fire-crossbow is going to get the idea that "Hey, if I cause a small explosion in a metal tube, it'll shoot out a projectile!"

How to properly implement a "Gun":
-Magic, Crystal shooting thing that fires a Soul Arrow alike projectile at super fast speeds.
-Blackpowder; It exists in the universe already.
- Sunlight Gun: Focuses the power of the Sun into a condense ray of lightning, must recharge for 30 seconds after every shot.

Just because you don't like the idea, doesn't mean it couldn't fit.

And ancient japanese/chinese (Forget which one) had blackpowder weapons as well.



What's your point? They had fireworks quite early, and it didn't take them long to figure out they could weaponize it.

Ancient Asian countries did not go around with armies that shot at one another with pistols. I would remember that.

DE5PA1R wrote:I would remember that.

How old are you? :suspect:

All joking aside, yeah guns are somewhat problematic. But I could see them in there, though to Slarg232, by your points that your making about how we already have projectiles, I mean if you're talking about weapons that have that ability then wouldn't it be redundant to have another crystal soul spear/gun or Sunlight spear/gun... I mean this is what I'm interpreting but I could've misunderstood

why not have a gun that shoots blanks then? for RP purposes (as to why shoot blanks and make it utterly useless, well we have the mofuqn pendant)

And they also didn't have swords twice as big as the people carrying them 8)

@Everlast: I would greatly prefer a Flintlock, or rather Blackpowder, pistol. Those that I posted were simply ideas as to why such a thing (One handed weapon that is like a pistol, if not a pistol in general) would be feasible in Dark Souls 2.

Dang Slarg........maaaaybe they could........

Dammit no!!! Wait, what if it was like a.....nope....just can't do it.


You are the only person who has ever made me consider the idea though...ever.

Fair points. Still don't like pistols though. I wouldn't mind one in a game that was like Souls but less medieval fantasy.

I would accept it only if....

Spoiler:

Welllllll put skarekrow, well put.

actually i love the idea, just not for this game, that not only sounds SUPER op but it also dose not fit. to me it just sounds like a bunch of people want to change this game into a more mainstream one.

I'm just glad there are a few people on here that can see reason
@ Reacor: How does it not fit? Please tell me why specifically, as I can't quite seem to stab at it in the dark.
And it's not like including a Flintlock Pistol (Or similar) would turn it into Dark Souls: Black Ops 3
