Ok after playing Divinity for awhile I can't help but notice that there is way too much emphasis on the 1 handed and 2 handed swords. What about the people who want to use axes, maces, hammers, there is no real good variety on these weapons. All the good quest weapons seem to be swords. My warrior maxed axe skill right away and it just depressing to see sword after sword go by while my 80-120dmg 2 handed axe slowly becomes obsolete. Also the sword skill is way more powerful than the axe skill is, you're just about guaranteed that you will not miss at skill 5 and the +50% dmg is better than a fixed dmg amount in the long run when you get the higher dmg swords. Not to mention the generous speed increases that are beyond the axe skill increases.

I guess maybe the rare and good weapon drops are too far in between meanwhile there are a few quests that force high quality swords in our faces like "here's you're upgrade sword-users! grats! all the rest of you can rot!"

Otherwise, awesome game, just had to rant about weapons hehe.

Absolutely correct!
I hope they'll keep this in mind for RiftRunner

I think that the best axes come along at the beginning of the game. Just gotta use the bug to get the stats/slots. My heroin is using an axe...Slower w/much more damage. When she gets to a higher lvl. she will most likely have to have the sword skills...bummer...I do belive that the weapon differences are going to be taken care of in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> It is 1 of the things that has been asked for...
balance. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
