Fleetbreaker - seriously? (Spoilers for Principi quests)

[MortyTheGobbo]

In my current playthrough, I've just finished the Principi questline by having Furrante hang. And while I've known that for a while, I still find it pretty absurd that the only unique crossbow pre-DLC is available if you help him sell slaves. Which is, honestly, not something most players will do unless they're purposefully RPing a callous character. Or they might not do those quests at all. The imbalance between unique weapons is bad enough as it is without gating them behind quests like this.

I am pretty sure that if you destroy Crookspur but then side with Furrante against Aeldys you will get Fleetbreaker as a reward.

But even siding with him is difficult.

Blame backers for wanting so many sabres :-D

I blame Sabre Rider!

I certainly do blame them, but presumably someone on the design team knew there was only one unique crossbow in the whole game and could maybe rise the point of not locking it away behind a very optional quest.
