I think the sword is so ridiculous it's extremely cool [img]smile.gif[/img]
As for the medieval mood, I think BG has many things which don't exactly fit in with that. Sure, dress and basic armour and weapons and so forht make you think it is, but there's plenty which makes it clear it's also fantasy. And in my opinion, the machinery is a nice change from your basic scenery. But that's just me
