From a historical perspective, the longsword was designed to be used in two hands. It was what early D&D/AD&D called a 'bastard sword', although designs varied over time, of course. It was specifically designed to be wielded with one or two hands as needed. D&D5e finally recognised this by allowing two-handed use, and I am very pleased that Larian brought this across.

RPGs don't always look for historical realism, but I am pleasantly surprised when they do.

A real medieval longsword, circa C14th.
