Are weapons in my game borked?

[snarfy]

The little "dagger" symbol in the inventory next to a weapon is that weapon's damage, right?

 

I'm playing a new game, level 2. My game shows the dagger symbol in my game as:

 

Short sword: 2

Long sword: 2

Steel Claymore: 4

 

These seem to be much lower values than what I see here:

Also, short sword and long sword having the same value seems a little odd.

 

Is what I have above normal, or is something wrong?

 

The MODs that I am using that could potentially change weapon damage:

Fran, MMM, Deadly Reflex, Supreme Magica

 

Thanks

did you read what is written there??

listen, any weapon has a basic damage value, but the value you see is how much YOU deal with the weapon

now, if you are using a blade, but have a low blade skill, and low strength, than the weapon you will deal won't be much

and due to how the calculations work, it is possible that a shortsword and a longsword would deal the same amount of damage (due to the fact that the game rounds the numbers, if needed)

 

so everything is ok with your game (at least on what you've asked)

and when you are really strong, then you will deal massive amounts of damage

but don't expect to do so on level 2, unless you cheat.....

I wasn't sure whether those displayed values were the dmg I do, or the base damage of the weapon.

 

Thanks for the clarification!
