The best heroes are always the simplest?
In scifi and fantasy, particularly in books. In animes we get some cool weapons and powers going on, but in books it's always just, two pistols, or two schimatars, or a single light saber, or a wand that the hero relies on. Like it's never multiple things like a pistol, a shotgun, magic powers, magic wand, and a talking dog. Anyone else notice this? Warhammer 40k is the closest I can think of for more complicated fantasy action. They mix magic and metal, but still tend to keep unique powers/weapons to one per scene. Do you think there's like an overload on what people can keep track of in terms of unique tech? Or maybe it ruins the suspension of disbelief if there's too much going on. Hmmm
