I do agree with you there, and I had considered that, but I still don't buy it. I have noticed subtle differences for AC2, in that I can attack much faster with the Sword of Altaïr than with a broom, however. Post-AC2 though, the addition of execution streaks made weapon choice rather irrelevant. I only went with weapons that looked good.
