Far better to have 100 skill in the weapon of choice than 25 in each of 4 weapons! Same with magic skills, really. Thats part of why NPCs suck so bad: they have a wide range of skills, all far behind where a character of similar level would be. Sgt. Glumph has only 25 modern weapon at level 11, fer inztenz.
I think its a good idea to play around in the game for a while to get an idea of the weapons available and how the various stats effect skills, then start over with characters you have a clear plan for: In my case, I only use sword weilding melee fighters, as the swords seem far better than any other weapon group. Even the beloved CoC just not worth the effort, IMO. Last party, my fairy ninja had about equal kill stats to a dracon valk that switched from polearm to sword relatively late in the game. Have a feeling that if the game environment had been larger the other weapon categories may have been filled out a little better. As is, any of the good swords are at least as good as the best of the other weapons, and are far more plentiful.
I never play a human character, either: no point, as I already am one. Simply find the other races more interesting. Am currently playing a party of 2 rawulfs, 2 felpurrs, and a Hobbit samurai. Of course, can't find a ring o' beasts for love or money...
Think the next group will be 4 hobbits, 2 sams, 2 bishops.
Suppose a human char. might be ok-- no big holes in the stats to fill, might be well suited for some classes, can't think what though.
