    It does. Applying the video game logic, it looks badass at first glance, but once you play a little bit and learn more about what’s out there, you find out it’s kinda a noob trap.

      I, too, wasted scales on the Drake Sword.

      Which really sucks because getting a good item early in the game and carrying it with you the whole time feels really special. Bilbo picked up sting as a level 1 Hobbit. He didn’t upgrade his sword two or three times during his adventure. He got something cool and passed it down to frodo.

      Item scaling just makes everything seem like temporary trash, disposable.
