It does. Applying the video game logic, it looks badass at first glance, but once you play a little bit and learn more about what’s out there, you find out it’s kinda a noob trap.
Which really sucks because getting a good item early in the game and carrying it with you the whole time feels really special. Bilbo picked up sting as a level 1 Hobbit. He didn’t upgrade his sword two or three times during his adventure. He got something cool and passed it down to frodo.
Item scaling just makes everything seem like temporary trash, disposable.

I, too, wasted scales on the Drake Sword.
