Hi,

I dont know if im posting this in the correct section, but i think Bioware should've created alot moe weapons for the game, especially long swords. I have'nt really found that many, and those i do find arent really anything special.

There's also not enough Two Handed swords. Recently i downloaded The Edge, wich is a DLC, but it does'nt help my 2-H warrior one bit, neither does it help Alistair with his crappy 1-H. And if i decided to play Sword and shield, what will i be fighting with in the beginning ?

I think they should release a DLC with new 1-H swords and new 2-H swords asap so i can still get them before finishing the game. Wich im trying to postpone as long as possible !


Thank you.

I think there isn't enough morning stars. You can find at least 3 decently powerfull long swords and some nasty 2h weapons without DLC's. Just be patient.

long swords are plenty, way more than any other type of weapons in game, although almost all of them are acquired through sidequest, if u missed all of them then too bad.



2h swords are plenty as well, good 2h axe on the other hand are nowhere to be found, same as above, all are optional quests.

The Winter Forge allows you to build pretty much any item you want.

What's his face that gives the reaver spec drops a 2h axe. Faith's Edge I think it's called. You can still kill him after defiling the urn and unlocking reaver btw. Just talk to him again after the ritual. This allows you to still be able to kill the high dragon.



I have to agree on the lack of longswords. What is this winter forge you speak of? I'm on my second playthru so don't worry about spoilers. The only special forge I'm aware of is the golem forge. Does it have some other function I didn't know about or are you referring to something completely different?

What is a Winter Forge and how do you get it?

Be careful, as with all mods and developer codes, if you abuse the power you can disrupt the force.

Longswords: Keening Blade, Topsiders Blade, Starfang



All 3 of those are great longswords.

Ok great, but im like at the dwarfs, then i need to do the Brescillian forest , then Denerim. So im guessing after that the game is done ? And the only epic long sword i got was from the Soldies Peak DLC that i got. Or Wardens Keep. You actually get a party Chest and you get a forge that only makes dragon bone armor, but the dudes got no cool weapons. Just armor !

He makes the best longsword and 2h sword in the game. You need to get the material for it from a random map encounter.

Really great weapons are in limited supply in the game, and often times very expensive from vendors.

It's pretty obvious that you aren't supposed to deck out every character with dragonbone items. You can get just enough gear to make your core group awesome though. I don't really see it as a problem, but it might be something that gets attention in a sequel.

There are more Longswords than Mage Staves, and way more Armor than Mage Robes. Warriors have plenty to choose from. But the scarcity of items is cool I think. But thats just me.

All my male characters have been quite content with the size, length and power of their respective swords and/or staffs.

I'm not the one who feels the need for more. One is quite sufficient.

It is not the length of your sword that counts, it is how well you handle it! Right!?!

I had unlocked the dual wielding two 1-h swords and im still using The Edge and that sword you get in wardens keep, then one where you talk to the painting. I cant remember it's name. Sure , now i can go get...i think it's called starfang, right after i run the map full looking for a random encounter where i get the ore toe make it... but then, it's still only 1 good 1-h, and then the edge, cause not one 1-h sword can replace the edge, it's just better than them all except the meteor sword... that to me, is a big let down... i wouldn't complain if i had a good mace or Axe, but they are even more scarce than a bloody sword in this game. And i prefer Axes to tell you the honest truth... swords are cool, but axes are a marriage of a sword and a halberd in my mind. And whats cooler than that. Maybe a Axe\\Spear crossbreed. So you can slice and pierce and then turn the axe on its flat side and crush.

Yes all hail the Winter Forge, I would say if anything there isn't enough 'high end' maces and crossbows in comparison to the other weapons.

Why cant you Dual wield 2-H weapons like in NWN2 ? That would've completed the MAssive Armor look quite epically !

But seriously, there isn't enough variety or choice of weapons in this game. It's the only thing lacking. Really.

Starfang can be any of three weapons, two of which are one-handed, the other is a Greatsword 2H.

If there is anything this game doesn't need more of it's longswords. There are plenty of longswords. Want to hear about a weapon bioware completely forgot about? Maces. There are great axes Axemeter, Faith's Edge, the one you get from the highdragon whose name I forget. One of the best 2 hander weapons in the game is the Chasind Maul. There are too many 1 handed and 2 handed longswords that are great to mention. When it comes to maces though? Garbage, garbage, and more garbage. For every decent mace in the game there is a better longsword you can get earlier, easier, and prolly cheaper to boot. Maces are pathetic in this game, may as well have not included them at all.
