exactly why weapons like those would have to be weapons reserved for two hands to handel... maybe once you equip one you wont be able to put anything in the other hand?

If these ideas were going to happen though, surely making swords more realistic would help? Because there is no way you could weild a real bs ls or claymore in one hand anyway. it just isn't possible.

You must be one of them little people. Seriously though some races are larger than man size and for them a short sword would be little more than a large knife.

There is also some confusion about sword names as a broadsword is usually considered to be a one-handed sword, a longsword to be two handed and claymores having 1 and 2 handed models

Well looking at the models used i would say that indeed it would make sence to reserve atleast the claymores as they are now for twohanded use of one sword. ofcourse this wouldn't have to be true for all claymores but I'm just looking what kind of sword it is in the game. Just seeing a fenki running around with two claymores equiped makes you know that isn't very realistic.

The longswords with the name would have to be twohanded aswell I think, but ingame I don't feel it looks that strange compared to the claymores. Perhaps they aren't long enough or perhaps I have just gotten used to the size in some games that it doesn't even look strange eventhough in RL you wouldn't be able to do such a feat. I would therefor suggest that perhaps we should get an extra category of longswords and make this model a normal sized sword.

Perhaps for some swords you need a certain strength before you can use them in one hand and you need two before that. This would give raising stats some reasons beside exta damage aswell ;)

or maby you can always equip 2 items  but depending on size and weight you can suffer great penelties
