So, anyone who's played this game or strolled by the Wiki has seen a few weapons and tools with some lackluster descriptions.
While I did see a small differentiation or rating scale between them ("Effective close combat" goes to "Very effective" and "slightly effective"), this doesn't really appeal to me.
You, as the reader and player, and I should recognize that while weapon descriptions are nice, they're not as important as coding and improvements to the game itself.

I don't want to sound obnoxious, but this is where this post comes in; as a competent writer with nothing else to do at the moment, I've decided to help with some of the descriptions.
Now, I'd like for your input in this; if you've seen them on the Wiki or been to the shop Blades of Steel, you'll notice some melee weapons have a longer description.

This, as well as the shop's description for Andrew, were contributed by me (And I'm proud to say they were included <3), but it occurs to me that some may not like them; So, tell me your thoughts, if you will.
tl;dr: Tell me what you think of my item descriptions.
Just right? Too long-winded? Too much like Wikipedia? lol

Just for reference sake, here's an example :
Pocket Knife (Original) : "An effective close combat weapon."

Pocket Knife, in-game : "This small switchblade folds up into it's case for easy storage in one's pocket, backpack, or even their boot, allowing for quick access. While it's short blade may not be too terribly lethal, especially against the decayed flesh of the undead, it makes a suitable emergency weapon."

Excellent.

Better descriptions are always welcome. Suggestions are welcome for any description in the game that could use a little something. We are constantly updating the texts in response to user input.

Oh, well, you guys are in for a treat when you get to my Beta feedback in the pipeline.

I cut off roughly half-way in, adding descriptions for just as many weapons I could find; I stopped at the SVD and will pick up tomorrow. My power cut-out when I was doing it, and I kind of lost the steam to redo it when I got booted up again.
