I've become rather attached to Fearen (I know, I know, not a good habit to get attached to your characters in roguelikes), so I started a new game on the side. Was planning on getting 2-3 other characters to 750 feet before delving further on Fearen.
Scummed a bit of Christmas presents until I found a bladed weapon. Anguirel...not bad. I can counteract the extra hunger with (Mind over Body), which is little cost to pay for what I get in return. I prefer Anguirel over its sister blade, Anglachel, which increases encounter rate with more dangerous enemies. Never gotten too far with danger items on me before (though never had many chances to try either). I'd rather avoid it if possible. Doesn't seem like there's any benefit to having danger items. Nevertheless, Anglachel is quite a respectable weapon that I have a love-hate relationship with.
By some twist of fate, I found Anglachel on 300 feet. I wasn't really clearing each level and diving rather hard (by my standards anyways), but it was just sitting there in plain sight. I knew what it was instantly because I already had loremaster up by that point. And now that I hold both Anglachel and Anguirel in my hands, I can't help but be tempted to go for (Two Weapon Fighting). Double sharpness weapons. The dream, right?
I honestly don't know what to do with bastards swords to begin with. 3d3 with the option for 2-handed wielding. They're a bit too heavy for finesse/subtlety/riposte builds at 5 lbs, but have too few dice sides for power builds. My limited experience with power builds doesn't help here. So the plan originally was to wield it as a 2H weapon with flanking + charge + crowd fighting and finesse. Seems a waste to go power since it's still very capable of critical hits. And I want to get the most out of its weight, so charge (which is something I usually get on greatswords) seems apt here.
With 2 bastard swords, that kind of throws a wrench into things. How does two weapon fighting work anyways? 1 handed Anglachel is 3d6. 1 handed Anguirel is 3d6. With a -3 dex/str, Anguirel (the offhand weapon) would become 3d3 and suffer a -3 on to-hit. It seems rather underwhelming...perhaps charge can help here. Or maybe if I invest in smithing and craft a couple strength rings.

Oh right, forgot to mention knockback. Seems pointless to get charge without either sprinting or knockback.

You can't wield a hand & a half weapon (spear/battle-axe/bastard sword) in the off-hand.

Oh, really? Hrm, wonder what the thought process behind that was. If you can wield a hand and a half weapon with a shield, I thought it goes without saying that you should be able to dual wield them as well. Bummer. Guess I'll have to drop Anglachel then.

You can wield a bastard sword in your primary hand and a longsword in your offhand for example - just not two hand-and-a-half weapons.
You used to be able to do it and the cynic in me suggests the primary reason was to stop dual-wielding smithing hammers...

So Anguirel with some longsword then...if I still want to dual wield at all. Which version would you need to play on to experience smithing in its full glory would you say? Seems like every nerf traces its roots back to smithing some way or another.

The nerfing started in 1.0.2, so you'd need to go back to 1.0.1. Back then Aule was song/3, minor slots did not have added difficulty, all smithing took 100 turns regardless of difficulty, two handed weapons had reduced smithing costs, you could dual wield smithing hammers, you could put grace on cloaks etc. The only smith friendly change since has been robes, crowns and sceptres having reduced costs (but that is of limited use apart for a lot of builds).
Be warned though, the game was less smooth then. Wargs for example were a lot more dangerous and violet molds in corridors will drive you insane every now and again.

Alright, I'll have to give it a try sometime. I do want a legitimate first win on 1.3 first though.
