I still want to dual wield automatic crossbows!  But I do like the look of the big rifle...I mean crossbow.

I would like to see that as well but it seems a bit to high tech for the setting

The armor and weapons look a bit too ornate IMHO.  Although I do like the look of that spiked mace.  The buildings are beautiful and that landscape looks...hot (pun intended )

I would still like to see much more realistic weapon styles.  I'm getting a little tired of the over the top Asian fantasy/anime style weapon art.  History has plenty of examples of ornate & interesting designs that are actually practical and usable without resorting to weird flaring blades and exaggerated winged  cross guards that are completely impractical.

Exactly.  You can do a more ornate look with out turning it into something you'd see in a bad 80's movie (or half the MMOs that are out right now).  I do not want my character to look like an extra from He-man and the Masters of the Universe (although has anyone ever seen Skeletor and Nagash in the same room together ).  These aren't the worst I've seen by far but still...well at least they aren't ginormous.

Agreed, or at the very least it should be toned down a bit. That sword design is totally salvageable, actually; just get rid of the bottom pair of wings on the 'guard' (giant chunk of metal) and fix the blade shape and thickness. Not every aspect of the design has to be totally realistic, but unless it's just a magical artifact or a sculpture/wallhanger, it shouldn't look downright silly from a usability standpoint. This does.

I'm going to put in a word on this post....I like them.  They may not be practical for real life, but for a fantasy game they are beautifully executed.

I completely agree for a high fantasy world they are perfect
