BTW and BW battle axes

Post by RaustBlackDragon »

Sorry, I just noticed the balkon's weaponmod has a battle axe, and I noticed:

Soulforged Steel Battle Axe:

Balkon's Battle Axe:

As you can see, they're pretty much identical. So I'm just curious:

I don't even remotely suspect that anybody copied anybody, so I suspect this is one of two things:

1: FC or BalkondeurAlpha came up with the battle axe first and the other got permission to use the idea in their mod

2: They both used the exact same method of making a battle axe sprite from the vanilla axe sprites, just mirroring it down the long end of it, which seems quite likely since it's by far the easiest way to make a double-bladed axe that's true to vanilla aesthetics

I'm just curious which of these it was, or if it was something else.

They're both the vMC axe, with the head on both sides. It's kinda obvious, and generally accepted by everyone.

So it's theory 2? That's what I was leaning towards :)

It is farely possible for it to be a coincidence i mean how would you picture a battle axe?
A normal axe with both the sides having the same shape... I couldn't get anymore specific sorry if you dont understand it...

Again, that was my second theory, as I wrote in the OP :)

Also, that style of axe was in an early version of the game, if you check the official wiki.
