The autoswing on Night's Edge seems kind of jank. Whenever you swing, it locks you into swinging in one direction, and the only way to swing in the opposite direction requires you to stop swinging. Is this a bug, or was this intentional?

There's a flag in the code for swords called UseTurn. It decides whether you can turn around with a weapon or not. Most of the good swords (like Night's Edge) don't let you turn around because it makes them better against bosses. With bosses, you usually want to back away while swinging, and you can't do that if the sword turns around.

Thanks.
