Thought I would mention this because someone in the blogs mentioned spears. People wielding spears can be incredibly formidable opponents when wielding spears two handed. I am hoping and am expecting Larian to have their characters exhibit excellent spear wielding skills. If you don't believe me, go and google warriors wielding spears in real life combat.
