I killed famous LARP.

There, I said it.

Does that green grid get in the way at all? Looks annoying from the screenshots and I'm wondering if it shouldn't be toned down a notch. So it's still there but not so obviously blocking the scenery (like say, make it 50% - 70% transparent).

Daggers generally count as daggers, and swords count as swords. We're very old fashioned.

2.Is it possible to use more than one type of weapon on a single character (like a crossbowman who swichs to a sword when foes get close ) or is specializing heavily encouraged?
It's encouraged but there are combat synergies so you can use other weapons, although you won't be as skilled with them as you are in your chosen weapon class. I often use a sword+dagger combo.

It's adjustable in options, from complete invisibility to almost-opaque level.

I meant more along the lines of "what is the biggest weapon that is governed by the dagger skill" and "what is the smallest weapon that is governed by the sword skill".
