good evening bundy...
so, are you in the habit of extrapolating what you wish and making knee-jerk comments, or was this a one time thing?
the question posed in the thread was clearly "What's the best One Handed Sword you guys ever found?".
it would be completely within the realm of rational thought to believe that since we're talking about a killing weapon, that the term 'best' would refer to 'most effective'. all these swords definitely fill this criteria.
additionally, you'd do yourself quite well by simply reading about 8 inches up the ladder in the thread (2 posts) where it's clearly stated "the truth is however, that i seldom use(d) my sword." (written by me as well). this along with my rationale for NOT using the sword.
use your eyes. they will seldom get you in trouble.....
oh, and by-the-way. poison is far from useless in this game.
