See this is what I thought, it seems the only weapons Larian cares about are their stupid absolute weapons, which from what I have seen are all quite remarkable, they also give some strength to Everburn at the beginning of the game as well as Githyanki weapons at least the greatsword seem to be alright, but most of the other weapons seem sub par, just random loot drops, even though they aren't the Phalar Aluve is literally like Excalibur the way it was presented, then it's just "a sword"
I really don't understand what Larian was going for here. just goofin I guess?
