Seriously? People stumble into a battle and then forget all the options to kill enemies? Set them on fire, yeet them in the air, toss metal crates at them, place some meat nearby as a distraction and approach from behind. Also, how about shooting some arrows to the face? Highly effective, you know. And let's not even start with flurry rush where the weapon's durability is greatly enhanced. If all else fails, just throw a damn rock at them.

And why is a weapon breaking mid fight always framed like a negative? It frees up space for the weapon of the monster I'm fighting. You can equip a new weapon literally instantly.
