I don't know where they get information on these topics but it's the same with throwing weapons size (particularly the javelin) and two handed hammers even existing as effective weapons.. if they are so concerned about realism they'd see that those are way too heavy to be used. Most in history were shorter.



But I'm not gonna wall - o - text here, and more importantly, thank you ! That's a great initiative, and at least I'll have a link to give to people saying the devs never tell us anything.
