For exemple i really like using the spear with the elk to hunt down the faster mobs, i would love to be able to do it with more gears.
Throw bombs use traps, defend my place like a real warrior . Maybe more companions like the locust who could had a lot to the combat.There is plenty of ancients weapons in game who could be really promising if we could forge them.
I share the point of view of some who say that there is place for improvement, the hit box is kind of weird sometimes, damage sponges , ect.
So i'll go for a YES of course, good luck to the devs if they go for it.
Oh and steel knife is an actual good weapon
