Especially his impale maneuver. That right there is the big issue. Many a time have I been impaled by the creep and had to listen to Fem!Hawke's very unsexy groans of pain. But that's beside the point. I usually open up with Whirlwind on him before running like hell.

Yes, I admit that 1H has an advantage, and a distinctive one, over 2H in Origins. So you're definitely correct in that regard, it's just that my personal preference is 2H and that's really what I'm happy with. Greatswords do have the fastest swing speed of the 2H weapons so that kind of alleviates the issues of using such a weapon type. Not that greatswords swing fast, the entire point of them has been to hit slowly, but hit hard when you do hit. Of course, you need a high attack to do so and that's why most of my points go into Strength.

Starfang as a greatsword looks awesome, though. And it's an excellent weapon.
