A Wakizashi is a short version of a Katana, the Katana in Baldur's Gate looks like a very thin, curved blade, like it's supposed too...

Why is the Wakizashi a straight and thick blade, like a Short Sword? It looks like those kitchen knives you see Michael Myers holding.

Is there a way to shorten the Katana graphic to be more fitting for the Wakizashi? I've seen 1PP flaming sword graphics and increased detail on paper dolls, maybe this could be done for the Wakizashi/Ninja-To as well?

And the Flail of Ages, when you upgrade it, it shows to have multiple heads but still on the main graphic is just 1 singular glowing ball. Maybe there could be a slight graphic update for it to increase with the amount of heads on the flail, up to the +5 it gets?

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

As far as I understand it, anything that involves modifying weapon gfx takes a hilariously huge amount of work. All signs point to "don't get your hopes up".

"Yeah, IE isn't the most customizable .exe out there when it comes to making ingame graphics..." He said with a concerned frown, then shrugged and returned to his chcken and vege pie.
