User blog comment:DarkStar Knight/Things About Monster Hunter I Would Change/@comment-3099002-20110217211120

I have to agree with most of your ideas (except some of the skills). I really liked the "weapon customization" thing! Here are some ideas i had for that:

GS and LS - Divided into 3 parts: handle, blade and decorations

L, GL and SnS - Divided into 3: blade, shield and decorations

H and HH - Divided into 2: hammer, handle and decorations

DS: Divided into 2: blade(s) and decorations

The blade (made of monster parts or ore) gives the weapon its attack power and sharpness, the decorations give it the element or ailment, and the other parts (shield, handle) give you a defense boost.
