Apparently I have noticed (JUST NOW WOAH) that wands, hammers, and shovels are categorized as 'swords'. I find it odd, but that just me. Even if this don't even affect on the gameplay, I think it would be nice to rename this category of weapons to 'melee weapons' or just 'melee' (or however you like).
What do you think, people?
So, are you implying that it is alright to have a sword which uses, say, spear's model?
But anyways, why do you quote myself in the first place? I mentioned that it won't affect on the gameplay, and now you post exact same thing. I do want to hear your opinion, yes. But a decent one.
Don't we all like when everything is accurate? That's what I am asking for.
I highly doubt that 3 exceptions warrant a change in the name when the vast majority of melee weapons are swords. Like you said, it has no effect on gameplay and I personally don't really think it matters at all.

Only when it's not completely arbitrary.
I'm saying that if there is a sword that uses a spear model, i wont be in for any surprises when i use it if its categorized as a sword. If its melee weapons, buying a hammer implies that it is functionally different than a sword. If everything is a sword, the player can expect a shovel to behave like a sword regardless of the name, which currently is more accurate to how this game works.
I am still not sure why you resist to this idea so badly, like it's going to change your life around or whatnot.
I am not sure why you are so insistent on this idea either, nothing bad about leaving it the way it is.

Does not matter. The weapon names are thematic not mechanical, but they all function like swords.
