You don't see anyone mentioning the Secret Sword as proof of there being too many magic items in BG3.
Secret Sword?
What secret sword?
Can someone please expand on this? Where is there a secret sword?
It must be very secret, since I haven't found any swords that are particularly exciting through numerous playthroughs.
There are some items you might not notice if you always take the same path through the game, but that is not the same as "secret".
