In the pen and paper game, longswords can be wielded with two hands... it is useful when your shield is destroyed in a fight; or when you need to inflict bonus damage (because you add 1.5 your str bonus on a two handed weapon)

In the 2nd edition, the [censored] sword and the likes (ex Claymore) could be worn with one or two hands changing the damage type (one-handed: 1d8; two-hand: 1d10).
In the 3rd edition of DnD (which is used in NWN) and in the 3.5 ed, [censored] sword are two-hand weapons that can be used one-handed with the exotic weap prof feat. The advantage being using a weapon as strong as a two-handed but using only one hand.
Also, with the 3rd edition rules, the one/two hand(s) required depends on your character size and proficiencies for exotic weapons. With a medium-sized char, a medium weapon can be used both ways. Though I'm not sure, I believe you can also do it with small weapons. And finally, weapons larger than your character size must be wielded with two hands.
