Beginning the game by choosing 3 answers ... to take the path of the sword? ;)

1. Title: to take the path of the sword?
   
2. Reproduction Rate:--
3. Blocker?--
4. Details:
   If I choose to prefer magic, instead of archering, there is a recommendation to use a bow. (why?)
   When entering the game scene (Blood River, in my case) you will be invited to get the sword from the rack. On this rack are a shield, a bow, a mace and a sword.
   
   A) NOW (I think this is the main BUG in this Thread) the help system only shows "take the sword" and I have to do it to clear this one. Why not express it like "take a weapon" and let the player choose whatever he want.
   B) What I missed was a one hand Spear.
   
   It is very good to prepare the skills with 5 points.
   C) What I missed was the Shield Skill - it has 0 points.
   
   Because the system is classless, it should be possible to take the kind of weapon the player prefer at this point to take. Okay, you can say, there is no Spear in Blood River ...
   
   
5. Steps to Reproduce: start a new character with choosing a mage/sword

 

We have to check for a specific item in your inventory to prevent you from progressing without any means of defending yourself. There is nothing stopping you from taking both.

 

Hello (again) @Lum the Mad,

thank you. I understand that you make a check to prevent the player is unarmed.
The order could say "take a weapon". And it wouldn't matter which kind of weapon is choosen.
If the order is "take the sword" I must take it to have the entry cleared.
I didn't try to have it cleared by taking the spear - if it works the same way?

Thank you @Lum the Mad for your patience about my Threads!
