secondary melee mode for throwing knives and daggers!!!

[Clockworkkiller]

why not? i mean, if i was in battle and someone charged me, why would i not try to protect myself if all i had was throwing knives, they work just like any other knife, just because their easier to throw doesnt mean anything!

Seems like an obvious suggestion

bump -_-_-_-_

As a dedicated thrower, I like the idea. But only if they cannot block with them in melee mode.

[Thorvic]

It can be a really good thing if that was added in the game (and i'm not a thrower  ^^)

of course

[nayman]

why not?

i dont have enough rep to "+" but this is reasonable. i'm not a thrower and haven't ever mentioned this thing. it is rather wiser for secondary mod to be than not to be)

[Siberian_Wolf]

This was already suggested before and was explained that the warband engine doesn't allow that. They have a complicated reason for it.

[Nordwolf]

I know the reason - in melee mode daggers would be still wielded backwards, but you can use different models for secondary mode if I'm not mistaken.
So just make a copy of every dagger - just flipped around.

Or you can use some magic and make that flipping with other tools, like you did with a lot of weapons with blunt/pierce sides.

[Alexia]

We can give the normal dagger and long dagger a throwmode too. so the fast dagger switch would actually make sense

[Gravoth_iii]

The reason this doesnt work afaik is because the dagger is upsidedown in your hand. WSE might be able to work around this i dunno but its been suggested many times before and still hasnt made it into the game so im not expecting much.

why not just do what nordwolf suggested?

make a second model, i mean, javs and darts are held the same way, they all have melee modes

[Nordwolf]

Javelins and darts have different attribute - they are throwing spears, not throwing daggers. TS reverts item position, so in melee it will be normal way, dagger attribute doesn't.
That's why it's a bit more complicated.

Instead of adding secondary mod to throwing daggers...
BUFF FIST !!!!!!
