God forbid they actually make us have to make a meaningful and consequential decision.

I'd be fine with that if my decision to be a Sotm Archer from Gridania (so a lore based decision) fitted with the GC's weapons. An I would put money a lot of people picked a starting location based on the guilds as much as the look/story of the place.
Sticking the weapons in almost random GC's was a Meh idea at best.
