one word. Unbalanced. it isnt better in every way
Hah, "Unbalanced is not a bad thing, depending on your playstyle."
Yeah, one of my playstyles definitely revolves around not being able to block as well.
Why does a ninja care for the flamberge?
Is this a subtle katana buff thread?
Block? I can block fine with any unbalanced weapon. It's just different feinting to me...

Flamberge animations are of polearms so no same ranges.
Right swing.
Also, you misspelled "Flamberge," OP.
But if flamberge is sheathable again i might start using a board shield agian and then.... I wont get shot as much and then you take away so many archer's joy!
They are archers, the real vermin of the universe.

hmmmm maybe ill ninja edit... this once
.. or no
flameberg is the second longest swingable weapon
only twohander that can rear horses
most slash damage in the game
an alternative thrust animation as opposed to the sometimes annoying two hand thrust animation
its however is not a weapon that...
should be employed with a shield
should be employed with any ranged
should definely not be sheathable for aesthetic reasons (the weapon is almost as long as the human body for christ sakes)
it has a well defined niche for two handers who want to dabble in a supportive melee role
Since when do 2h weapons have the ability to rear a horse? o.O
well ok but that mode is shitty and unnessesary ...

For starters, any two-handed weapon with The ability to half-sword can rear a horse. Secondly, it's reach is completely raped by a greatswords thrust (e.g. Danish Greatsword thrust = 124+80) which totals 204 reach. The Flamberge doesn't come close, as it has the polearm thrust animation. As for your argument about "aesthetic reasons", look into sheathable polearmery. Flamberge reach = 152; unsheathable. Long Hafted Blade reach = 153 sheathable, Glaive reach = 160 and it's sheathable, Great Long Bardiche reach = 155, sheathable. The list goes on, and my point is; all these polearms are longer than the Flamberge, and yet, can be sheathed. This makes no sense in my books.
Atleast at one point in all of our lives.. We have pondered the age old question: "Wait... Why can you sheath glaives, long hafted blades, awlpikes, great long bardiches, long bardiches etc. And not the flamberge, yet all these weapons are longer?"You got the problem right, but the solution reversed - ALL these weapons should have been unsheathable.
I have thought that just now. If you people litter this thread saying "balance reasons", you obviously must be deluded. The great long bardiche is better in every way (+1 speed, +3 reach, bonus against shields sheathable. So think of that first. Kthx

I dont know what stupid game started this trend of sheathing weapons on your back being cool. Yes it is, if you are about to march all day and have absolutely NO intention to use this weapon today, then maybe. It is actually much more cooler and tactically interesting game-wise, when you can only carry one oversized weapon and it drops to the ground when you pull out a secondary. Nearly all poles and 2H weapons should be unsheathable.
