well i was just thinking that if you could actualy use the shield the thing would make the game to damn easy, going from a seemingly high power axe to a smaller blade that could do faster attacks and a shield to block, if thats the case i dont see why anyone else wold use the other weapons, and the shield is just something so when the axe goes into sword mode you wouldnt just drop the rest of the weapon, i dont know it just seems over powered to me and there has to be some catch
