I agree that (more than) half of it is just hack-n-slash! But fairly interesting, all the same.

Even if the story-line is feeble. It could have been such a good game, but poor storylining and the reversion to hack-n-slash turned it from potentially excellent to just mediocre.

As for the question: Personally, I always prefer one-hand weapons above 2-hand. Two-hand weapons are good - but with a one-hand you can use a shield; this not only adds to your armour, but the shield has a good chance of it being enchanted - always a benefit!
However, by far the best weapon skill in Lionheart is Ranged, even if it does mean you miss out on shields.
