    The recently released Highguard (which, by the way, totally flopped - what do you guys think? :D) inspired me to create a fantasy-themed map and weapon collection. I’m thinking of using these as references:

    Do you think spider webs and skulls might be too cliché for this genre? Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

    I’d add something like mystical symbols or runic patterns - webs and skulls are already way too common in fantasy skins. For example, the Kukri Crimson Web looks great, but you could swap the pattern for something more magical.

    P.S. Here’s an interesting weapon option without patterns, but still recognizable to fantasy fans: https://gamebanana.com/mods/236361

    I like the idea of combining classic elements with unexpected details. You could add a bit of glowing crystals or green ether. Or a firearm with runic engravings - I haven’t seen that done before.

    Thanks for the ideas! I think I’ll try adding runes and magical elements, while keeping the classic webs as accents.
