Nerdy War in the North devs show off the game's weapons

Trailer: See the awesome weapons of War in the North, and some awesomely daggy comedy from its developers.

We're not averse to looking like an idiot while swinging a sword, so we can't make too much fun of the gang at Snowblind for wanting to cut sick themselves. But man, do they look kinda awesomely dorky in this latest Lord of the Rings: War in the North trailer.

Ostensibly it's all about the weapons of the game. There's going to be a mess of stabby, bludgeon-ey and blasty weapons in the game, so it's great to see that Snowblind was serious about making sure they all look the part.

But really, the video's all about being silly with swords.

Cross bow? I thought it was more like a smart gun from Aliens without the harness.

What? You mean there's other ways to cut a sandwich than with my trusty Anduril?

Why is it in games like these, that axes and maces do less damage than swords, yet in our world they are designed to be one hit kills???
