Maybe ...
On the other hand tho, it was ectremely easy to obtain ... i mean we only need to pass one check ... there is few of them and failure in one dont prevent another atempt.
Thats not a lot of effort for some supercool loot ... is it?
Even when you try to get that dagger in Goblin villaga, it can snap when you fail.
I like Maximuuus idea with permanent light tho!
In terms of numbers, it's not a lot of effort, no. But this isn't a game about pure numbers. The setup and presentation of the scene told a story, and that story built an expectation. If the sword was just held by a corpse we found, then I think it would feel less... special. But this? There are items we can just buy from a shop that are more impressive statistically. I don't think any weapon has this much gravitas and weight put into its presentation either. Even the speak of faith or sword of Tyr are never made to really feel important
Gormak is right, if it is a joke then it's not an especially funny one. Haha, we took them seriously. I'm still gonna use the sword for my Drow Paladin, but I may just have to drop the difficulty down to story mode.
