I've played enough Dark Souls to recognize this weapon. It's the Flamberge. Not my favorite quality weapon, not the best strength or dex scaling. Still a cool greatsword.

That seems like an unwise way to hold that sword. "Ow, my shoulder!"
The beef jerky never complains.
Well yeah but they also moan when hit.
Got a pauldron protecting the shoulder, gorget protecting the neck, helmet protecting head and ear. There's no possible harm that might come to you holding the sword that way.
Fuck I'd pick that in the blink of an eye

Good luck letting go of it once it's too late.

For real, I wouldn't even have a chance to take a fucking picture
I bought a fucking claymore once. It was as tall as I was and weighed a ton. Swinging it, even the correct way, was absolutely batshit for a 175 pound human. I have no idea what I was thinking.
You were thinking.
Modern replicas of many of these historical weapons are often twice as heavy as the real thing. A field Zweihander would have been somewhere around 5 lbs.
Yep. Unless crafted in the correct way with the right metal, shape, etc., etc., it's a glorified piece of rebar.
I have a beautifully made hand-and-a-half sword that is very wieldable.
You thought about slaying your enemies, that's what.
What is this contraption it's leaning against? Feels like a trap.
That's what I'm wondering. Everything about it screams "dumpster" but then why does it have those giant, trap-like appendages?
Because it's a cybertruck
This has cursed written all over it.
I'm getting my Diablo 2 PTSD triggered by this.
A zweihander?!
I can become...
