Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Physical scale of some weapons

I think you guys are arguing a bit beside the point.

This is not about deciding what correct label should be applied to the available weapons or what's supposed to be the upper limit of a greatsword (real-life zweihanders were pretty massive as well, incidentally, but as already pointed above they were hardly ever carried around on yourself and/or used for fencing).

The issue here is that ALL weapons in the game tend to be rather oversized, including the smaller ones.
Hell, if anything it's even MORE noticeable on the smaller ones.
Daggers are ridiculously large, to the point of looking like goofy short swords; maces have the size of a soccer ball, with handles that look like small tree trunks, longswords have the size of a two hander...
And so on.

I don't buy any argument about this being "a necessity to make the weapons more visible".
In fact I can pretty much guarantee you that if someone bothered to mod them to be closer in size to their real-life counterparts, they would simply look better in the game as well.
