Just where does one get themselves one of them fancified long arming swords?

I get a long arming sword upon the start of the game.  It's fairly easy to code a starting character in the module system.  Probably take you only a few minutes to write the code and then compile.

Realized I was probably wrong about saber having more reach and speed.  I thought elite was a modifier, like balanced, so I was thinking theoretically lol.  I think I still prefer the military cleaver or heavy saber over the elite scimitar for sheer damage, but I'm a fan of the swing only weapons too.  Thrust on anything other than polearms feels akward, like my dps is cut in half.

Yeah, I also have issues with the aim I guess you would call it... I try to go for an overhead swing and end up trying to poke em...

The heavy great bardisch inflicts some serious damage (52).  I've sliced (figuratively speaking) both a charging swadian knight and his horse in half by waiting until the last minute and quickly sidestepping and using a side swing.  Usually, the combination yields close to 300 damage on the horse and 200 on the rider. The only drawback is that it is relatively slow.
