What if stabbing weapons (Like the fencing sword) could be used while mounted?


Recommended Posts

Idea here is really simple, it would be cool if you could use stabbing weapons from mounts like beefalo/woby as this would add value to weapons that are otherwise just a meme.

Since, these weapons are technically better or equal to most mounts that aren't an ornery bull, since even the memey fencing sword outdamages rider and pudgy, but in return it gives a new way for players who don't want to do too much inventory management to fight that isn't using the meta bull and that does engage with more of the games resource mechanics unlike the bulls horns.

Since, dodges are going to be easier on a rider for example, and wigfrid with a fencing sword will outdamage low taming bulls. You get a new memey way to play walter.
This also justifies more weapon content existing in general, as whips are effectively dead as a weapon class with only options that are too expensive, and cork bat swing speed weapons are unlikely to get introduced this late.

If good stabbing weapons were introduced, it could even let us rebalance the bulls so ornery bulls are less blatantly strong (Say, they are less powerful at base but help you use stabbing weapons,) while also making it so replacing a lost bull is less heartbreaking (As currently it is very demoralizing taming a bull once the scouting phase of the game is over..... Its long and dull if you aren't exploring new territory, which only happens with your first bull.)
