Favorite weapons to use in RPG's?

I prefer magic. If I don't get magic, I like daggers or shortswords. If I don't get daggers or shortswords, I like silenced pistols. If I don't get any of those, I like hidden blades. If I don't get any of those, fuck that game.

Swords and daggers are always my favorite.
Following that I like Maces, staffs, and spears on occasion.
However, after playing the Cursed Crusade a mace just seems like a weapon only a true sadist would wield...
Bludgeoning something to death is much harder than cutting it.

Always been a ranged type of man, although I usually play tanks so that doesn't work out well.

Depends on what the game offers, weapon-wise. Normally I'd go for a huge fuck-off sword though, but there are exceptions.

For example on RuneScape, my favourite is a whip. On Spiral Knights, I prefer using this. I can't ever say no to a gun which uses exploding shots.

Well, depends on the game.
If the game is a classical one, Sword would be the main weapon.
or id the game is in a modern day version,
Gun and some shrapnel are used.

[color=red]Axe and Scythe. Lure and taunt some mob and spin around like madman.

Chains / whips comes at second place, good for keeping the distance.

Swords and guns for me.

Spears are my weapon of choice, mostly because of the range for a melee weapon. That and in some games spear wielders just seem to show more finesse then a typical sword or axe user.

I would have to go with swords as my first pick, followed by guns.

And if those two fail, there's always my fists.

I love swords Including one of my favorite & most powerful swords ever are:

1.Ultima Weapon (FFVII)
2.Lionheart (FFVIII)
3.The Keyblades (Kingdom Hearts)
4.Masamune (Chrono Trigger)
5.Dragon Blade (Breath of Fire Series)

Axes. Good speed combined with nice damage, and overall, they're just sexy.

the game doesnt usually give me variations with only a freaking sword as the only option (--,)

i usually go for Daggers for DPS, Bows for Cheap shots and reliability, Magic if available for both weapons but i never go full magic coz theyre usually flimsy charas.

im the cautious type so i usually go Long range and magic to kill enemies.

Whenever I play I game where I can customize my character (ie MH) i use lances, most of the time for everything else : KATANAS!!! all the way XD

I really like sword weapon
easy to use, cool, more powerful skill learn from swords
second I like knight stuff

I fucking love tonfas but games dont like having them. Usually a side boss has them or something like that and as the user they dont give you them T-T

Spears and naginatas. You can slash, stab and keep the enemy distant. Also only the best characters use them, right Fang?~

In the few games that allow me to use them, flails, so I assume blunt weapons? Although I'm not much for maces and clubs. Second would be a quarterstaff or something similar (Two-bladed swords from DnD and Star Wars come do mind.)

an RPG of course.

I'm always immediately drawn to 2Handed Axes in fantasy roleplaying games. They always have such a full, satisfying sound whenever I decapitate something.

I'm pretty sure I was a berserker in a past life.

As for modern or futuristic roleplaying games.. I mostly just seek out the highest-damage weapons. Something that packs a mighty punch. I always favor high damage/high accuracy over speed or convenience.

Swords all the way! They're the standard weapons that are used, but still the best in my opinion.
