One Weapon to Rule Them All

I don't get the one weapon vs. another weapon mentality. You can carry more than one weapon and have the option to purchase more weapon slots. You weigh your arsenal with the type of armor you currently equip since you cannot readily change armor like you can change weapons. You also have the option of checking floors to determine the element and mob types you will be encountering in addition to planning how to use the terrain in the most effective and fun way possible.
It's like washing clothes. If you toss ALL the dirty laundry into the washing machine, add bleach, detergent and hot water...you come out looking like a noob. If you take the time to sort and add the appropriate accouterments...you will always be dressed for success.
The one weapon to rule them all is no one blade, gun or armor set. In terms of weapons, the knight herself is the total package. If you set your knight to be great on only one path, that leaves your knight vulnerable. Achilles was a legendary warrior of no equal. However he had one weak spot. Do you have your weak spots covered?

Haha, or a month of ONE MORE
Haha, or a month of ONE MORE WEAPON SLOT isn't worth it when you can easily plan and just carry weapons that actually make sense.

I think people are just
I think people are just really used to MMOs with overpowered weapons, in the sense that a battered woman is used to being abused and doesn't understand anything else. Personally, I think a day or a day and a half's crowns to buy energy for a slot upgrade that lasts 30 days is pretty cheap.

50 cents (or less)
The third weapon slot is less than 50 cents a month, so I can either have a third weapon slot or park my car downtown for 15 minutes (assuming I can even find an open metered spot).
Even just one extra slot gives a lot of added flexibility. There are gates for which having only two weapons doesn't make much sense, especially when a given weapon (like a firodriver) may be very useful in one level but harmful in the next. Granted, if you travel with a party, you essentially have up to 8 slots free, so someone else can carry the blast bomb for when your firey vaporizer can't be used, but if you play a lot solo or duo much, the extra slot pay off.
Also, the more weapons you can use, the more fun you can have killing enemies in different and amusing ways. Why limit yourself?

So what's the difference
So what's the difference between leviathan blade and cold iron vanquisher? What does Leviathan have over Cold Iron?

Leviathan is more powerful in
Leviathan is more powerful in general. CIV does better damage to undead but slightly worse damage to all other monsters, apparently.
I have neither of these weapons, so I'm just repeating what I've seen others post in the forums.

ITT: Senseless RL analogies.
I think most people don't want to accept that you can change equips every Terminal/sub-town.
People are cheap and don't want to buy extra weapon slots. With only two slots, you have to be a lot more picky and rather than realize they're handicapping themselves, they blame the available weapons for not offering an option to instantly kill everything on the first hit.
It's like having 4 finals at the end of the semester, deciding to only study for two of them because it's a lot of work to be prepared for all 4, then blaming the professors at your university when you fail two classes because those classes required you to have knowledge that you didn't gain in the two classes you passed.
