Also the levels define the cost and power of the staff.

Well, I'd say that'd be redundant (after all, that's what Will spells are for) but perhaps Oak Staff, Ebony Staff, Master Staff, and so on. And maybe the elemental powers could come as augmentations.

Here are some kinds of swords I want to see, they aren't very detailed, but Ill have some awesome ones soon.

Possibly, although that's what I meant by the levels.

keep in mind its 500 years in the future, I dont know how logical it would be to have staffs and stuff along with guns, but then agin a will strictly user will might permit that to be there. Also, if you augment a gun, will the augment leave a puff od shiny smoke after you fire it?

You're correct there, but perhaps if the staff was a little modernized in some form, now don't go thinking of a giant electrical stick, but perhaps a modern, varnished, carved staff.
I don't know, we'll see I guess!

These aren't modern guns, or even 18th-century guns, since they clearly don't utterly dominate swords. There isn't all that much difference between a sword and a staff except that a staff has more reach and no blade.

And I don't know how they're doing augments. I don't even remember if they are, though I'm assuming they'll keep them.

You need to remember-- guns and melee weapons overlapped quite a bit until the rate of fire and accuracy of guns caught up.

PM said in one of the newly posted videos that players who do nothing but quests and no work will be very skilled but have crap items. He then connected players who do work and have jobs with legendary weapons (exact wording escapes me). Do you think this could be interpreted that you can buy some legendary weapons?

Really? If this is so then it could be a good way to extend the storyline, E.G. You may have to work to get good items in order to advance with the storyline.
This will be interesting.

i want a magic cannon you can keep in your bag and then when you get it out its really big but when you put it away it is tiny so no one knows you have got one.

Well how 'bout having throwing knives? a nice knuckle duster would be good too. or maybe a shovel?

but what i would want to see most would be a gunblade! or a tri-nunchuk (nunchuk that functions as a staff as well like the main protagonist from Suikoden V) or even just a normal nunchuk

Unless, you can dig one up with a shovel, in the graveyard.

well i just hope the guns aren't totally historicly accutate and take forever to load and your lucky if you can get two shots off in one min.

[Jack0Blades]

from what i have seen, the basic rifles will be basic matchlock in design, but will have the reloading system like those old guns where you feed in a bullet and pull back the lever to load it to the chamber. It'll be about as quick as the crossbows in Fable 1 for the averagely "statsd" hero

[Caboose]

i wish there would be revolvers but i guess that's not from the same time period though.....

I would Like to see in the game is a rifle with a katana blade at the end of it so it could be used as both katana and a gun
