Your complaints about fighter and warrior really have no ground. Using a hammer to 'stab' in real life would quite easily bust ribs, especially one that size. There is also the fact that a large number of the hammer's and maces have pointy bits on them, which would make a stab even more viable. With hitting non-edge with the sword, you are transferring more force due to the wider surface area. This is why a shield slammed into someone will knock them down easier than kicking them, even if you have more raw force behind the kick (this is, of course, ignoring stuff like center of gravity and the stance of the target in question). The last hit on dragons maw is supposed to be used to knock any enemies still alive away from you. As far as the righthanded dagger ( I haven't noticed this, but even so) being held 'wrong', not really. It, from what you are describing, is simply a more relaxed grip, so as to carry it easier. Again, with the staves, simply a looser grip.

Aside from that, need to not focus on the negatives in general. Small visual 'annoyances' as you put it, despite how realistic they may be in some cases, aren't something that you should let detract from the game. Their are far bigger issues with dragon's dogma you could be complaining about. For example, the balance between vocations, or the game in general for that matter.
