I think its a marketing thing (of unhealthy devious Ubitype). They will bring swords some time in the future with a big hype. With some other fundamental stuff, like playable PC sound.

When you go back to heillboer where the opening part of the game happend, you can still see the sword stuck in the windowframe.
Thing is you can take it

I've also started a post about this. If enough people make noise or complaints about it, hopefully they'll patch it in. It's nonsense not having a proper one handed viking sword in the game

@j62887 no, there are already many posts to this topic
https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/76734/one-handed-swords

@max-mumford96 luckily every social media platform has many posts addressing this . so let's keep our axes crossed..

@soulbrothernr3 hopefully they will realise oh people like swords and hopefully the models are better than some of them in odessey

How long do we think if they decide to fix this it'll take?

I somehow dought that. Can you supply evidence of this?

@fruitloops3000 i've been there and have a screenshot because i thought it was so ironic.
there is no option to pick it up . just an interaction where he talks for a bit.

Great shot. So that guy was lying like I thought. You can't pick it up what a shocker. You should meme that pic.

@fruitloops3000 I knew he was lying I tried it before hahahaha very disappointing should be a legendary weapon

The "expensive" argument is invalid usually it took about one raid for a warrior to have enough money for some armor and a sword. There are very nice swords sure its like saying oh we found a king buried with a sword, and since his sword had engravings and gems we have decided swords werent for poor people. Not true, also you are the adopted son of a king, and are in charge of your own longship (those were cheaper than swords I'm sure) and in charge of building your settlement. I would say Eivor is probably rich enough/important enough to have a sword. Viking swords are iconic in their design and thats not even bringing up Ulfberhts which were basically only found with vikings and also known for being made with steel that was waaaay ahead of their time. I dont care if they make it paid dlc I'll buy it. I'll say it's stupid that they aren't already in the game but I'll just be happy they gave their customers something they wanted.

@odinswulves agreed I'd pay I'd be annoyed that I'd have to pay for something that should be in it anyway but I'd still do it if only to play the game again with a proper sword

Ever heard of the Ulfberht? It's a one-handed sword famously used by Vikings... Why the heck do you keep making such dumb decisions? First there was no shields in Odyssey and now no 1h swords - what's next an AC game set in Japan with no katana's?

@d0mftw

Really ? Are you all doing same complaning again ?!
First no shield in Odyssey, and now No one hand sword ?!

GET OVER IT !!

Developers decide how they game going be like, NOT YOU !!

Don't like ? Don't play it, Simple !!

@kmarkopl Last time I checked the forums are here to do just that... Complain. If you don't want to read something negative about the game then don't click on the post. People should be able to give their opinion without fan boys like you making a mockery of it. Not everything can be perfect for everyone.

@kmarkopl

Unfortunately you're in no position to tell me what to do. Don't like what I got to say then keep your mouth shut and steer clear from my posts.

@saintlystorms
Wow, just wow!

On it again, I see. Calling everyone you disagree with fan boys.
The forums aren't here "to do just that... Complain". They're here for a multitude of reasons, everything from news updates to discussions from either side. Once again you have no idea what you're talking about.

On topic:
Yes, it IS strange there are no one-handed swords in this game. Would love to see a dev explaination on the topic.

Every day I see that Valhalla is unfinished, please, look my post about the lack of itens, maybe its make sense...

@netspook Everyone? That's a bit of an exaggeration. The fact is these forums are here for people to have an opinion. You can't seem to understand that.
