Weapon descriptions at character creation is lacking


IndiraLightfoot

Question

During character creation, you'll get that window, where you get to pick your weapon(s). You make your choice by clicking on a weapon symbol, and then descriptive text appears on the right half of the UI. Oddly, though, for many weapon types, the obvious is missing: the name of the weapon. Sometimes, it's anonymously mentioned in passing in one of the descriptive sentences. But in other cases, the right half doesn't mention the name of the weapon at all.

 

However, you can get the name of the weapon by hovering above its icon, then a tooltip briefly blinks, like "Proficiency: Club", but that won't do IMHO.

 

What I reckon is to be expected is this:

 

Click on a weapon you're considering, and then the right half of the character creation UI gets a headline above the description saying the name of that weapon, for instance, Rapier in bold or something, at the very top. This must simply be an oversight.

Definitely an annoying oversight, and probably quite confusing for new players. Weapon names are a bare minimum, but I'd certainly like to see some weapon stats as well. It's silly to ask someone to specialize in a couple of weapons when they don't know what any of them do in the first place.
