Weapon Diversity

I looted a club for my GWF which does blunt damage instead of slashing, but from what I can tell by looking at auction etc. it may be the only GWF weapon in the game that is not a greatsword? Where are the axes, maces, hammers, etc?

As a halfling the greatsword is always clipping into the ground which looks dumb.

    I'll echo de feeling. How can I smash things as a Half-Orc GWF if all I have is silly two handers?
    Gimme blunt, gimme hammers, gimme something to smack someone with!

    Are you a female character Solint? So far as I can tell the GS clipping is related to female models, not halflings in particular. My Female Human's GS clips through the ground as well.

    I agree though. I mean, I tend to prefer swords anyway, but I like having a bit of variety. I think the issue is that there simply aren't enough weapons implemented for the GWF right now. I'm level 24 and the weapon model for my sword hasn't changed at all. On top of that, I've only ever seen one other GWF with a different sword model. At any rate, I definitely think there's a strong need for more weapon types/models for the GWF. I suspect that the ones in use right now are just placeholder models until they can finish more, but who knows.

    No my halfling is male but in character creation I made him on the short size, eg. small leg length. The tip of every greatsword I can remember equipping goes into the ground.

    I suppose they could scale the weapon length to character size, but then the animation would not match the reach of the attacks (the club is already much shorter than the reach of the attacks) but this doesn't seem as bad as short characters having less reach, which would probably make them extremely unpopular.
