Glowing weapons

[Physic]

I just want artistic and aesthetic continuity.

artistic and aesthetic continuity makes sense withing a town, or a city. There is no logical reason why totally different cultures and will choose too look exactly the same, people dress different in africa, then they do in new york, then they do in china then they do in india. Since we will eventually travel throughout the world it would make sense if there was different rules for fashion.

And you have to remember as far as continuity, they will adapt it to the overall tone of the game. Its not a cartoon so the gear that has more visual effects will work within that framework, like lantern shield.
