It worked in Diablo which had a lot more parameters going for it, I am interested in this although I think the randomness of the drops, enemies and the environments will be just as important as the weapon thing. “nobody is actually going to BALANCE 500,000 different weapons against each other for optimum gameplay value and variance.”

Numbers. That's pretty meaningless in actual gameplay terms as, I suspect, nobody is actually going to BALANCE 500,000 different weapons against each other for optimum gameplay value and variance. It'll just boil down to the usual four: melee, power, rapid and range. Hmm. Numbers.
