Does anybody else prefer non-glowing weapons over glowing ones sometimes? The purple glow is straight up ugly

It’s all subjective, but beyond staves and some magical weapons, I found the glow effects detracts from the aesthetics of most weapons as well as character skins.

Like for Brettonian Longsword, the best looking skin that fits the Grail Knight aesthetics is Evengleam. And for the moments where a weapon glow can be pulled off, it’s almost always the more subtle light blue glow.

The rare times the purple glow worked was when a weapon is equipped to the Necromancer or Shade.

Overall I wish the game chose to make more different designs rather than resorting to making weapons glow to show rarity.

I feel that I must comply with this even while admitting that I must often use glowing designs…

Given the relatively low fantasy nature of the setting a less “magical” nature for the weapons would indeed fit better and perhaps allow for extravagent designs without these glowing parts.

I’m honestly a bit of an ascetic when it comes to cosmetics as well. I prefer simple-looking, muted colors over big flashy bits.
