When fighting Karoug as soon as he gets out of the way you can have a thief rush in, disarm the traps, then grab the sword. You don't *have* to kill Karoug first. After Karoug there's still Selaad Gan. This sword is one of the few weapons that can damage their greater wolfwere form.

I agree that there aren't many bastard swords in BG but you don't have to be a power gamer all the time. Some players will go with bastard swords for the role-playing value.
