There are several examples of this. Many weapons had variants with slightly different stats that made no sense and only caused confusion.
The weapons available are now Dull Iron/Runed/Iron/Steel/Fine Steel etc. (instead of several in between weapons with weird naming)
Renamed axes to be consistent: War Axe 1H/Battle Axe 2H/Beard Axe 1H/Great Axe 2H
Fixed/Reworked the naming of many weapons
Renamed "Runed Iron" weapons to "Runed" weapons
Weapons now have proper speed and reach values depending on their weapon class

Greaves/Shields have about x1.5 times the armor of Helmets/Gauntlets/Boots
Cuirasses have about x2 times the armor of Helmets/Gauntlets/Boots
Rebalanced armor values with the above guidelines
Some armor sets had too much armor, some had too low armor (e.g. mithril (light) was better than steel (steel))

The weapons available are now Dull Iron/Runed/Iron/Steel/Fine Steel etc. (instead of several in between weapons with weird naming)
Renamed axes to be consistent: War Axe 1H/Battle Axe 2H/Beard Axe 1H/Great Axe 2H
