It’s 4 slots in the combat-demo. In the EA-version each brother has only 2 slots, that can be upgraded to 4 slots with a perk. But I do agree that even then you could, theoretically carry 4 billhooks or greatswords, which is absurd.
Having big weapons taking up two slots sounds like a good idea. However I’d detain from a mobility penalty for items that are not wielded, because that would make things more complex then necessary.
Maybe there could be a few more perks that raises the melee skill if a certain type of weapon is equipped. For example, if a brother has been through countless battles, and only ever used his mace, a random event might pop-up one day and give him a “Mace-Expert”-perk.
