Even though I know that cutting and piercing weapons can be lost in combat, I frequently go several rounds of fighting (and sometimes wander off entirely) before I realize I’ve lost a weapon. Although it’s been a while since I’ve lost a weapon and not been able to remember where it might have been lost, it’s certainly happened before.
Losing a weapon in a fight is a pretty big deal. It’s not the kind of thing that happens and you somehow manage to miss it. And losing a weapon can be absolutely deadly if you don’t notice. This makes the Bashing weapons wildly more appealing because they can’t be lost and you don’t have to worry about missing it happening.
I’d like to see a prompt come up when you’ve lost a weapon. Or at least a specially colored alert in the combat log that draws the eye. Preferably both. And in the case of a prompt, as usual anything that interrupts gameplay should be toggleable.
