: Consider their jewelery (arm bands). And the no shirt
: thing. :) Looks like the same/similar culture to me -
: mb Ravanna's influence? In fact, I've just checked out
: M3 Damas' look, and this idea gains more credibility
: in my mind, seeing as how he has no arm bands, but
: bracers instead in M3, which would be more in keeping
: with the well-armoured Heron Guard (he's gotta have
: some armour, other than his greaves).
I'm sorry, but culture to me doesn't mean going topless and wearing an armband. If SoulBlighter had similar body paint, wore a kilt, had orange hair, used a claymore, or *anything* else *significant* I'd say you might have a point. As it is, most thing actually associated with culture are in stark contrast.
: You know, maybe they like using the style of a two-handed
: weapon. I've never heard of a style of fighting that
: has a claymore and a shield. That made a s much sense
: as your previous post - no shield = room for
: glaive/claymore.
: The fact that they both use two-handed weapons, whilst
: not a point I would base anything on (and haven't), is
: more concrete than "Zerks may have used shields,
: I decalre that Damas' people never did."
I was quoting the games when I said zerks give up the shield. It's in the encyclopedia somewhere.
: When I said "Look at M2 manual/box cover", you
: must have got the wrong cover...
: I'm not saying he was one, just it could have been so.
And I pointed out reasons why I didn't think he was. Fair is fair.
