Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Steelwatch Greatswords

Yesterday I was able to equip the steelwatchers greatsword (found in the foundry or dropped when disarmed). It isn't a particulary good weapon considering the amazing spells and legendary weapons you have at that point, but I looked like an absolute (haha, get it?) BALLER. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199225712118/screenshot/2088037711707537857/ . Today a new patch came out that made it impossible to equip (like intended) and I am DEVESTATED. Now I know, I know, it looks kinda janky and we aren't meant to be able to use it but my question is; Why?. If I have 23 in strength I should be able wield the sword. So I BEG of any potential larian devs/support reading this to change it. I DESPERETALY want to weild the big badass berserker sword despite knowing that it is pretty unpractical and underpowered. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Please PLease PLEsae aaaaaaaaa:
with kind regards

Like, I am actually heartbroken.

I personally have never liked the oversized weapon you see so often in JRPGs.

I think begging for one of these swords that actually fits in a character's hands but is still a huge sword might be more worthy of trying your luck.

aaaaa

First, I appreciate that the OP's tastes are different than mine.

I just want to mention how much I can't stand the look of oversized weapons. The more realistic the look, the better.

Same.

Personally, I think it is weird that they were designed as weapons if they had no intention of the player using them. I suppose it would be to just make them disarmable, but wouldn't it be easier to make them unique cases in a way that doesn't communicate to the player that they might be possibly equipable? Also because they weren't fully programmed to act as weapons a la their weapon class, you could also dual wield the steelwatcher greatswords assuming you had the dual wielding feat.
