I think Hall of Blades should be reworked (or removed?).
There are other far more interesting place to go. The room is littered with dancing weapons. But that's just it. Besides random loot or unique, there isn't anything else. The weapon might be good for melee to use, but for others dancing weapons are tedious enemies that resist lots of magic and hit pretty hard. One can entirely skip the branch and find it not that hard to hit lv 27.
So what is the purpose of this branch, I wonder? For experience? As I've said before, skipping the branch does not seriously impede the character. For loots? The weapons aren't that good. If crypt got its new monsters due to the old one being a boring place of skeleton and ghosts that virtually became a piety farm for TSO followers, shouldn't HoB get same treatment because it's worse than the old crypt?
I feel removing HoB entirely wouldn't affect gameplay that much. If the place remains, then IMO it should be made more interesting.
