Hi...I'd just like to point out that Cailan was not using a color coordinated Keening Blade Longsword with his prissy gold "I'm the King" Armor.

Nor is even whats being shown accurate to what we personally saw in the game itself.

Come on BioWare get a grip you can't keep using that damn model, its not common in Ferelden human, dwarven or elven smithery. In fact its not even common Orlesian smithery....just where does that kind of smithing design come from? Its not reconciled anywhere in the fantasy lore, its simply a model tacked into the game with the meaningless Gaxkhang side quest and its only reasonable explanation is its somehow "Fade" forged.

But yet there it is again, its in use for the Keening Blade and for the Starfang Longsword.

Someone in the art department needs to find whoever's fallen in love with that model and slap them across the face really hard several times.

Since King Maric's blade is pretty constantly shown throughout the books that he has a preference for 2 handed weaponry, the sword he finds in the Deep Roads is a 2 handed sword that in description bears out the texture design of Starfang to a certain degree but not the models in use with it.

Err... not to suggest anything with relation to RtO, but you're very wrong. Both books frequently refer to Maric's blade as a longsword. Not a greatsword or a 2-handed sword. Maric is pictured holding the blade in both hands on the cover of the Stolen Throne, but I assure you it really is a longsword.

The blade that was in the files for DAO was never put into the game, insofar as I'm aware. I think there was an intention to do so, but the plot where you got it was eventually cut.

Whether you like the style of the blade or not, it's pretty close to the one pictured on the Stolen Throne cover. And I'll leave it at that.
