I assumed that a weapon that listed more damage than another would be better - is this not necessarily true? I have fought the same NPC with a 1H weapon (Lare's Axe) and a 2H weapon (Krush UrRok) several times now. The 1H weapon is listed at 65 damage while the 2H weapon is only 55 damage. However, I cannot defeat the NPC (one of the swamp camp guards) with the 1H weapon but easily defeat him with the 2H. Can someone please explain this to me? I assumed one chose one's weapon of choice by which showed more damage - is there a bug or is weapon damage more complicated? |

Perhaps two handed weapons give a larger damage bonus for your strength. That's why you do enough damage to harm the guard. |

Maybe your timing is better with the 2-handed weapon. |

No, no bug.
Weapon damage is very simple, infact.
For melee, the total damage done is just your strength plus the weapon's damage, and for ranged, your dexterity plus the weapon's damage.
I think 2H melee weapons have a greater range than 1H, so perhaps you're hitting the Guard while he's further away from you - out of his own range, infact. |

I just did some experiments and I was able to damage enemies with 2 handed weapons that I couldn't with 1 handers. |

I am fond of cramming my single-handed Sword of Fear up an enemies arse; but a double-handed light sword will do the job better, albeit slower. The two-handed sword will take me places where the Sword of Fear can't go.
