Spears aren't really designed for one-on-one ground combat, they're to combat cavalry. Tho every weapon in a game should be viable in some wayYeah, it might not be particularly realistic but I like them for the rule of cool and it's disappointing that they tend to be not good.

spears were the absolute most common weapon in the world for several thousand years. they were used against everythingI'm pretty sure every culture invented the spear.
It's actually very realistic. Spears straight up beat out any other standard melee weapon in most situations.Really? I usually see them associated with infantry.
Guns, even though they should be the alpha weapons without question they always end up weak as shit in most fantasy games.I like when enemies take like eight shots to go down, or like one to three punches.
Hell not just in most games but other media also.

Well, in any case, I hate how they're usually underpowered anyway.

Guns, even though they should be the alpha weapons without question they always end up weak as shit in most fantasy games.There was a time when the rate of fire was so slow and bayonets so crappy that if a bunch of dudes with melee weapons got within melee range of you you were kind of fucked. IE Highland Charges during the Jacobite Rebellions. Imagine hundreds, or thousands, of Scottish dudes charging you in wedge formations, usually downhill, firing the guns they had at you in a volley, dropping the guns, taking your volley in response by ducking as low to the ground as they could, then screaming and finishing the charge by taking the point of your bayonet on their targe (type of shield) and then gutting you with either a broadsword or dirk.

that i can agree withI'd assume that one's just for balance purposes, since I think just about anyone can use a spear, except maybe dork-ass wizards.
like it's wierd in DnD that spears have the weakest damage dice, but Halberds have one of the strongest

If the cheapest and simplest of the Simple Weapons were as effective as they should be it'd throw off weapon damage progression.
Low attack speed weapons are hardly ever balanced. Less chance to proc effects and whiffing an attack is more punishing.Dragon's Dogma 2 did a lot wrong but Warrior is absolutely top tier unga bunga.
