So one thing that I think flew under the radar almost entirely yesterday after Orin's reveal video was the fact the actress describes Orin as having an intimate relationship with her blades and that they feel real and personified to her...now it's easy to just think that "oh she's just a crazy woman who loves to stab people so she's imagining" but...well, probably not. Sentient weapons in D&D are a very real thing. As a matter of fact Orin's own god, Bhaal, was slain by a mortal named Cyric who wielded the god or trickery, Mask, in sword form. Now, not all sentient weapons are gods in disguise, but it does go show the range of possibilities here. I wonder if there are other sentient weapons in the game, or if we can get our hands on Orin's blades after we defeat her. Hell, those blades might even be Bhaal himself for all we know. My rogue assassin dark urge would absolutely love to have a go at wielding those blades though, I'll say that much.
