Coin Thunderspear:
It bugs me they call an arming sword a "longsword." A longsword is a two handed sword. Except for in dnd.
Arming sword and langswords are the same thing and no, a longsword isn't a two-handed weapon. Its one handed but can be used with 2 hands. It doesn't really apply to you Coin :)
Falchion and Greatswords are definatly 2 handed swords. Longsword can be both but is uses with one hand. Bastard swords are exotic because they can be used with 2 hands or 1 hand and can use a shield if you got the exotic profiency.
With the lack of feats Forge, you'd be better off with say a longsword/shield combination (or any other light or medium one handed weapons) and another two handed weapon (greatsword, falchion, some sort of spear, maul, ect).
EDITED: Though it makes little sense as a bastard sword can be used in 1 hand or 2 hand but does more damae (shrugs) yet it seemed to be shorter. I think that got swapped. I don't think it really makes much of a difference and I think it was lumped together for longswords, lumped together for bastard swords, ect. I view a bastard sword as longer so say in Game of Thrones, I think Jon used a basterd sword not a longsword but its pretty mull and void.
