I started as a Paladin and got herded by the game recommendations into using a Greatsword the first time. As a human Paladin, I had a high enough constitution and AC to not need a shield and liked the big damage hits, but then I played as an elf. The Elf needed the shield since heavy armor killed any dex bonus and he had a –2 to constitution to start out in life with...

I did not make it too far into Chapter 2 with either character, but I did find that the Inn Keeper at Green Dragon Inn sells the Chaos Dagger (+2 regen). My current 13th lvl Wizard has not found any great Greatswords, but has found plenty of great armor… so if it is working for you, I would not worry about Greatswords and turn towards feats like Knockdown or boost your saving throws like Will and Reflex.
