Cromcrom;
You talked about Arhu's inventory, even if you didn't use that word, and said the situation made no sense. Like I said above, I took that to be referring to the inventory itself, and replied on that basis, and after that you clarified what it was that didn't make sense to you.
Personally, I think it makes no sense to be fine with an NPC carrying around a shop's worth of stuff, but only if he looks a certain way.
Gyson;
Every RPG I've ever played has either provided a weapon at the start (possibly with a choice) or made weapons available very early (from loot, conversations, quests or trade, etc). Expecting some kind of upgrade option relatively early doesn't take any kind of clairvoyance.
If I start an RPG and can not customize any aspect of the character, then I simply can not customize that at the start of the game. It doesn't necessarily mean I missed anything, or that the game sucks.
