Masterwork weapon

[craig234]

It seems the sickle it pretty widely viewed as a worse choice - not well balanced.

Playing a warrior, that makes the greatsword an option for my char, Laezel, or Karlach, but I have Everburn, Sword of Justice, Sorrow, Jorgoral's Greatsword...

With those good choices more than enough, I'm not sure when Masterwork greatsword is needed. So is the dagger pretty much the best just because?

I always go for the dagger, give it to Astarion for the off-hand. Maybe I should try using sickles sometime...
But yeah, the greatsword doesn't really make sense, too many better two-handed options.

It's essentially a situational weapon, since it's only useful against casters. I'd go with whatever works for your PC since he's always there, but only equip it when you think you'll need it.

Ya, I'm thinking, if I want to silence a caster, who is likely the best for that, and some seem to suggest Asterion is better than a warrior/barb...

Now I'm thinking since Asterion is mostly ranged, maybe the ant-caster could be a 2H, hm.

Is also just make the dagger for Astarion.

They’re really situational, and by the time your 2H martial is in a caster’s face, silencing them is generally no longer important.

I suppose the dagger is the best b it in general they’re kinda meh.

All are very weak, just like the adamantine weapons. Only real use is the silence feature against mages, you can throw the dagger at one. A lack of a crafting bench to later upgrade items makes anything you craft in the game become trash pretty quickly as you find a lot of better items, some even before you get to the forge like Jorgal's Greatsword, for example.

I almost always go for the dagger because there are so many great 2H options already.
