Gear size as well as the way the gear is held should make sense in the context of race.

It is a magic world where everyone uses mana though. Maybe Intrepid could link attacks to stamina and then make stamina consumption variable across all races and weapons, but then I'd fear that some archetypes would get meta'd to some races, just because they'll have passives for particular weapons and there'll be races that are best-fit for those weapons.

I'd personally prefer an in-lore explanation for why everyone can swing a hugeass hammer w/o much trouble, than having a meta-driven game where you feel bad for your choice of race and archetype combination.

Making 9 different versions of every single item would take a shitton of devtime and we're already waaaaay past due date. Having a single visual, but explain why it is how it is would be just easier and faster.

I mean, that very link says they'll resize the weapons, so your wish is already granted. Which means that the hammer is just designed that way. And that an orc holding that hammer would have an even bigger weapon in his hands.

Yeah, I'm probably wrong and as the link above points out, they had already planned to resize the weapons.

Orrrr, it's just how they designed that hammer and you just dislike it

Well yes, it is. It's literally a different world with different laws of nature and abilities available to that world's creatures. That's the whole point of a fantasy - it has things that seem unnatural in our world. Otherwise it's literally just our world.

Hell, if we had magic (or even exoskeletons), I'm sure we'd go for bigger tools too. Or at least our current bigger tools would be swung way faster and would appear way lighter because of that.

I liked it, which makes your dislike not objective

And a high-fantasy video game is not reality. That also seems to be an objective fact

A rare item of "Koryn" who might've been some kind of magical dude or it might've been a magical place. We don't know the lore deeply enough to say one way or the other. But if you're fine with magical items being bigger, then I find this whole discussion quiiiiiiite silly
