There should be more places to hide. Like in barrels or open boxes. I also remember someone on another forum said you should be able to fight back "instead of hiding like a pusillanimous individual". I think you should get a flintlock pistol or a sword but they would all be decorative and do no damage, after one shot/hit the monsters move faster and the weapon breaks. The best option is to just ignore the guy that wants weapons because that would ruin the game.
