And this is relevant how? This game isn't a Star Wars game either, like Bill said up there, so it shouldn't have supermen with light sabers. The monsters don't mean shit in this case. The beam weapons are properly handicapped. If 99.9% of players consider the light sabers to be fancy toys of no real combat relevance (though most likely handy in a really tigh spot if you want to drag one around), then it's kind of statistically safe to say that's how the game has been built. Or would be if the author knew the first thing about game development. If you try to cater to every taste, you end up satisfying nobody.
