In an [[RPG]], the main character ''always'' uses a sword, or at least has the option of using a sword. Even if the character has no training. Even if there are more efficient/advanced weapons. Always.
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
** In the third game, a variety of weapons and powers are available to Kuros. It's just the one needed to kill the [[Big Bad]] and [[The Dragon]] happens to be a sword.
* Kratos from ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' prefers his chainblades over the two "traditional" swords he gets. Before he got the blades, his favored weapons were the spear and shield of Sparta.
* ''Averted'' in ''[[Shadow of the Colossus]]''. Yes, Wander has a [[Cool Sword]]. He is probably the only main protagonist owner of a [[Cool Sword]] in video game history to have, judging by his animations with it, not an everlovin' ''clue'' what to do with a sword beyond "pointy end goes into the thing I want dead." The weapon he ''prefers'' is his [[The Archer|bow]], as one can tell by the fact that he can do feats with it that would make [[The Lord of the Rings|Legolas]] stare.
