Well, great swords is versatile for a warrior because bastard swords and two handed swords are in the same boat. But the main problem is pick what you like if your going with a elven warrior you have to use long swords and long bows just for the bonus and hope you get decent magic items. IWD-HOW, contains a magic item generation kind of like Diablo had. It is luck of the draw just pick which weapons you like. I myself prefer slings for warriors or clerics (Which for me are always hobbits) and short bows for thieves. Axes and hammers for dwarves axes are nice so they can have meelee weapons and ranged all in one weapon skill. Just don't do anything stupid if your picking a ranger stick to spears, warriors to swords, theives to daggers, druids to clubs the status quo is all you have most of the normal weapons for the classes will be very good sepcialized weapons for them I.E. you will rarel find a great spear for a fighter or a club for a theif.
