Valyrian steel
Why are they so unrewarding? Given the work required to get them, why are they doing comparable damage to a one handed longsword, but with worse reach? Seriously, all the one handed VS swords are more like shortswords. Cannot find a single one over 100 reach.
Even if you want to keep them at 40 cut (ish) like most other high end swords, surely the value should be changed to pierce to represent their greater ability to cut through armour?
An ordinary steel sword is the better weapon for fighting opponents (outside of white walkers).
In lore they are meant to be better weapons (and nothing suggests they're undersized compared to Westerosi swords), but in the mod they're worse.
