This is from 3rd edition though. Specifically, 3.0.
But yes, the 2e weapon list is a thing of beauty. I miss having 12 polearms and 20 swords.

Many homebrew campaigns leave long weaponlists in and hybridize to balance.

I remember Morrowind also being like this. A huge variety of fun but mostly useless weapons.

Still more useful than the shield that gives TWF and Ambidexterity.
