Now, when I play as a unmodded character, I find myself seeking out megabeasts and weapon masters just so I can have a worthy opponent. There is something greatly enjoyable about finally snapping a swordmaster's elbow after dozens of turns of blocks, blows and grapples. Its a real sense of accomplishment when he loses hold of his sword, letting you finally wrap your hands around his neck and finish the fight. However, the fact that there's no load feature after you die means that seeking this thrill can be annoying if you savescum and game ending if you don't.

On the otherhand, when I play a modded character I'm what I call a war god, an enormous iron titan with bladed hands and 6 tenticales that inject venom with every attack. I can basically kill anything without so much as a worry about archers or anything else. Its fun to wander about town, punishing the idiots for their insolence in attacking me. Nothing like breaking one man's joints with your tenticales as you punch another to death.

I dunno, which is your favorite? A duel of two heros or a complete massacare?

They're two flavors that go great together.

An epic duel, definitely. Ain't nothin' like taking out an orc fortress with an unmodded character.

Multiplayer for this game would own sooooooooooooo hard.

Can you imagine fighting another human with this fighting system? It would be so awesome and fulfilling to beat someone

Two Bronze Colossi Swordmasters dueling to the death, obviously. Nothing quite as good as two of the most powerful creatures in the game going at it WITH WEAPONS.

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

weapons that must be like tooth picks to them. Need some colossi sized weapons that take up several squares, like the balista bolts. Imagine a colossi weilding an entire balista like a crossbow.

I enjoy a challenging slaughter. One of those things that do infact only come once in a blue moon...

Well if you survive that is.

The only honorable fight is one that ends with bloodloss and exhaustion

The only honorable death is one that leaves a crater.

I once spawned myself as a titan and, funny enough, the world had a skeletal titan.
