The Drunken Lizard Pub

Gotta rate this as a bug - when I finally found this superb weapon it turned out to be no more damaging than a steel longsword, which I'd already bought, and it WEIGHED 0.5 lb MORE than the steel one.

And no, it isn't even shatter proof ...

Yep, that isn't right. Upon reviewing, I see that we needed to adjust up a couple swords.

Version 1.02 will have this fixed, as well as several improved "upper range" swords.

I use it just because its mithril. Couple with 2 rings of the assassin with +5 to hit and +2 to damage and some hand armor that have the same +5 to hit and +2 to damage, my melee dude beats things down.

I had some seriously lucky drops this playthrough.

Shouldn't the larger weapons eg 'Claymore' and 'Great Axe' or the 'Great War Maul' which weigh almost twice as much as their presumably single handed counterparts and do a lot more damage be two handed? I seem to be able to wield a claymore and carry a shield at the same time..

Zoggles: yes, it has been pointed out we have some inconsistencies with weapon weight. We will make some adjustments for 1.03.

In Book I there is no formal "two-handed weapon" status, although as you pointed out a Claymore should be. Book II will have a significantly improved weapons classification system.

Other than the bow of course....

You're right. Crossbows and Polearms are two other two-handed weapons that I personally want to add to Book II. I've always fancied the Halberd.
