[QUOTE="Rodrigo Istalindir, post: 2243445, member: 2810"] As I mentioned in my original post, it was more the concept of the golf-bag than any actual bad experience. But I kinda miss the old days, where we were lucky to get a magic sword, much less one tailored exactly the way we wanted it. And we used it for level after level -- no trading in the +1s for a +2 as soon as we could afford it. No magic shops, precious few places where you could get a custom item made. A magic weapon was rare -- you named it, the bards told tales of it, If you lost it, you moved heaven and earth to regain it. Your weapon was a part of your character in a way that its not, anymore, except for the odd kesai-like classes where abilities are tied to a specific weapon. My first long-running D&D character used a +1/+3 vs. giants (plus a couple flavor abilities) longsword from the time he was 4th level till he retired at 14th years later. He had plenty of chances to 'upgrade', and would occasionaly use something else if circumstances demanded it, but that weapon had a history in the campaign just like the character did. [/QUOTE]
