Longsword doesn't have as many standout you must use this swords in it but it is packed with tons of weapons that are useful for specific situations. Daystar and flametongue are wicked on undead. Blade of roses is a good all around weapon.
Blackrazor is fantastic although you get it at the end of the game.
The equalizer is alright but only when used in the right situations.
Dragonslayer is good on dragons and gives resistance to fear which is helpful when you know you may be facing fear attacks (I find many of the longswords special abilities to be great weapons to wield in the offhand for their resistances to certain things etc)
Really longsword is not the type of weapon you want to just chose 2 and wield those all the time.
As for ToB the sitation gets better for longsword users. Blackrazor is still useful in ToB but then you can also get angurvadal (and can later upgrade it).
Also the answerer in ToB is powerful.
