There have been arguments lasting 10+ pages on whether the spear or the sword was in fact the superior infantry weapon in real life. I'm not going there with this rant. I don't care if the spear was better than the sword or not. I just care that it was not completely useless as depicted in this game.
Call me obsessive, mildly autistic, whatever it is, but I would just really like to have a spear/shield companion. Hoplites were cool, okay?
And it pisses me off that it is literally impossible to achieve a successful companion with spear and shield. Got Klethi to level 20, 24 agility, 8 weapon master, 8 shield, and still with the best infantry spear in the game (balanced, shortened spear.... which sucks by the way because it doesn't stop horses... so to have any chance at all against other infantry, you have to give up the only benefit to spears), I STILL just witnessed her get soloed by a steppe bandit in the bandit lair.
For the love of God, you have 24 agility and light armor, JUST STEP BACK you stupid b****! Stop face hugging! You can't stab him from there!!!! ARRRGH!!!!
Finally had to give up and give her a 1h weapon. All that training in polearms wasted. Again.
End of rant.
