Post subject: Taven's Sword... WTF |
 |
| |
Ok, just got round to paying and completeing the konquest. WTf is up here? From the begining in battles Taven can use his sword, and then in the last battle, it turns out Daegon had both his and Taven's. I don't get this, was the sword Taven had throughout Konquest a replica or something? It could have gotten away with saying Daegonused two of that type of sword, like Quan Chi uses 2 broadswords, so that his weapon combos wouldn't just be a clone of Tavens, but then it has Taven take the sword from Daegon. In the battle you can use last Taven's sword even.

The version of Taven that you play in the versus mode is the Taven upon finishing Konquest. I just viewed that "mistake" as an explanation to how Taven had the sword in the first place, but the continuity aspect of it I overlook.

Taven was going to have a Bow originaly, and get the sword at the end... but Midway scrapped the bow idea.

They could have disabled the use of all weapos in Konquest untill the end.

wasn't the point of Konquest to learn to play as Taven? if he only had one fighting style until the end of Konquest, then you'd still be just as in the dark on how to use him properly as you were when you started playing.
I hope that makes sense. sometimes the English language fails me. X_x

I never understood or liked the character Taven. Too generic for me. I totally missed the whole sword thing in the game.

I absolutely loved Taven.
And to Chibihana, I totally understood that.

I supose you are right about learning to use the weapon, however it didn't teach anyone elses styles.
In my opinion, I think they should stop using konquest altogether, every game makes mistakes in Konquest. DA you need to learn for every character to unlock blaze. even the ones you don't ever use. In D, to unlock some coffins that had keys, you need to be in a certain random location at a certain time of day or even week. And there was no clues from anything, although, it was an ok story, and you could go about talking to people, no RPG makes special items in such random places. In A, the Konquest doesn't let you go about talking to people, every chracter you as a player can interact with is practially an enemy. I think they are putting too much of MK relying on Konquest, has Ed Boon forgotten that MK is suposed to be a fighting game and not an RPG?

I personally liked MK:D and MK:A Konquest. It was funny change and even though MK:A Konquest was more linear, I still enjoyed the fights and story. Besides, MK is still a fighting game, they´re just trying to give us more minigames, which is great
Back on topic:
Even stranger is that Taven´s Drakesword doesn´t look anything like any of Daegon´s Drakeswords.
PS: Taven is one of the best new MK characters. Off course not better than Ashrah

If both of their swords looked alike, it probably would have made the MK team look lazy.

No no, I haven´s said that both swords given to them by their parents should look alike. But considering that Daegon stole both the swords and one of them belonged to Taven, then at least one of the Drakeswords Daegon´s using should look like the Taven´s one (Which IMO would be cool if each of Daegon´s swords would look different). Besides this couldn´t be considered to be lazyness. Just like in Broadswords case. Both Kung Lao and Quan Chi are using Broadswords, but each of them in very different way, because Quan Chi uses two swords, while Kung Lao only one of them
