It's the only sword in the game of that size and width, and there's plenty of reason for those to be desirable qualities in a sword. I try to think of them less as knock-offs and more of homage type weapons.I really don't understand the hangup over this, in general. There are so few weapon models in this game, and that just happens to be one of the most popular. Although it is "Curtana" I don't really think that even has to be referenced in dealing with the player version. Its just a neat looking sword and shield that smiths make. Why bother calling it a replica?
Maybe I'm just not getting something.. but I guess I think we need a little more suspension of disbelief here, or we're going to have to start coming up with a good explanation why there are only a couple dozen different sets of clothes in the world.
I'm actually of similar mind with you on this, but you know how Some Roleplayers like to flip their lids at any and every possible transgression against the lore. None of us are ACTUALLY going to be wielding Curtana or anything, but the Holy Shield's an after thought, and like you said it's a cool looking weapon of unique design. The only thing close to that model of broadsword is a Giantsgall weapon and that's got a love-it-or-hate-it burst-snowflake hilt thing.
Plus Curtana matches my armor!
