Return of Reckoning

I got an in-game response from a dev. He said it's a known bug, and they're working on it. He/She advised I hold off SW for a bit until it's fixed, and to check out the patch notes. (Unknown if that means they'll fix the leveled character, or if they'll ensure it doesn't happen to new characters).

I made a new test SW...and she CAN equip the starting sword.

What is going on?

Any way I can edit a system file that fixes?

Hey everyone. I searched the forums but haven’t seen a topic on this.

My SW cannot equip most 1h high elf swords. The only ones I can equip are from renown vendors, which are few and far between.

Is this a known bug? Is there anything I can do to fix?

Thanks.
