Ascalon is usually regarded as being better in the original, since most harder enemies are weak to light, and there are no damage resistant enemies, so it does the full str + magic anyway.

DA has several better swords than this, I think at least Dragon's Dogma (stats change in DA, it's now better), Cursed Bite and Cursed Light are better.
