this game we're playing censors "bastard sword" as "dastard sword" and it is somewhat amusing

Follow

they could have called it a hand-and-a-half sword, that also refers to the same type of sword (one designed to be used with either one or two hands, between an arming sword and a longsword in length)

then again this also does the usual medieval-stuff-in-pop-culture thing where it uses "longsword" to refer to a one-handed weapon so yeah
