Hunting Knife Is Enormous

This is an insignificant complaint but the graphic in my opinion is awful. It's a broadsword sized one-handed sword, it's not even a dagger. The grip doesn't even line up with the character's hand.

And don't go telling me to go edit it myself, I tried and I can't work around the poor proportions. The point is the vanilla graphic is terrible and should be redone, not left up to modding community.


If anyone's curious. Here's the attempt I did to reshape this hunk of iron.

 

I never understood why people used the beginning stuff anyways.
Food is rarely needed and 1 weapon found in a chest is better than the starting weapon and all weapons that can be made on that tier.

 

If it was the size of an actual knife it would be useless as monsters would be able to outrange the attack. The graphics are stylized, and if you're looking for ultra realism you're going to be disappointed.

 

True, but the fact they bothered and made it look this way has gotten my obsessive compulsiveness on the edge.

 

Compare it to every other knife weapon and this refute falls flat. It's a poorly drawn and statted weapon. Emphasis on knife weapon. As in they're in the game and work fine.

This isn't an arguement of realism. It's not even a stylized knife. It's the size of every greatsword in the game.

 

Okay. I personally think it's hilariously oversized as a reference to certain games. It also has the same bonus hunting bows get: a higher drop rate for alien meat and leather.

It's like comparing the hunting bows to guns. They're inferior in every aspect other than the increased drop rate.

 

All of the knives are longer than actual, real world knives would ever be. And it has poor stats because it's more of a tool than a weapon.

Somewhat unrelated, but you may get more constructive discussion if you avoid such inflammatory thread titles.

 

It's statted as a one-handed sword. It's the size of a two-hander, it's name insinuates it being a dagger.

It's a blade with an identity crisis.

 

I believe it's supposed to be a Monster Hunter reference possibly.

 

It can be wielded by bird people and robots. You shouldn't get too serious about this game.

 

No it wouldn't, dagger ranged weapons are fine. Have you even tried using one?

At some point the knife will be upgradeable (I hope!) in the same way the bow is. Allowing it to always remain useful as a tool.

 

I'm just very critical of sprite art and I just find this weapon to be greatly off model based on every other weapon drawn. This has nothing to do with lore.
