I found that if you wanted to use 2-handed swords, long swords (especially these), slings and long bows it was great - there were loads of these. By the end of one game I had Minsc carrying about 7 different swords and 5 other powerful weapons, because I found that each was too good not to use at some point,(dual wielding crom frayr and the flail of ages/mace of disruption worked a bit too well against golems).

But if you decided, like me, to try out things like bastard swords or clubs, it was a lot more difficult to get one decent weapon let alone 5 or 6. It also meant you might have problems with some battles like Kangaxx, (My archer couldn't hit Kangaxx even though he had a THAC0 of about -12, because none of the arrows wre +4).

In the end it just meant I had to choose my party and proficiency slots more carefully, which is a bit of shame, still a great game though.
