Yes I understand that. And so far I've been doing that. I do appreciate that RPGs are not only what you see on screen, but also what goes on in your head. But it's hard to ignore an axe with 300 top end damage against the unique sword I grabbed in Hiberheim with 158 top end :P
I might just pass it over to Madora and let her have her way with it.
Despite being completely enamored by this game, I wouldn't say no to a little more diversity between weapons. Even if it means 1 less AP to use a 2handed sword over a 2handed axe. Just to spice it up, you know?
