Favorite Weapon Type, whats yours? Options

[Gomez']

I love Bluntweapons, I just do. Nothing looks for feels as brutally effective at killing than a Mace. And i also love to use bows, due to my marksman bias, and my total real life incompatance at close quarters combat.

Marksman for me. Who wants to have their pretty skin sliced up when they could deal with the enemy from a safe distance?

A mace is a mace, whether it has spikes or not. And one with a chain would be called a "Morning Star".

A morning-star is a very specific type of flail. All the weapons with a chain are flails. A morning star refers to a flail having one single round ball with spikes. There are also flails that have multiple chains, flails with solid balls (no spikes), flails that have caltrop-like ends, flails with rings, flails with cylindrical weights....

...short baldes do the least damage compared to the other weapons (besides fist of course). does the game give you any advantages with stealth for using a short blade that i dont know?

Not specifically for stealth, but short blades have a much greater attack speed than all the "big and heavy" weapons. With the big weapons you have to reach back for a second before you can do any real damage. The short blades all have high minimum damage, and a very high attack speed, meaning that you can do near-full damage even if you click as fast as you can. This is especially nice if your short blade is enchanted. They're not so good for sneak attacks, but very good for wading in and taking down an enemy with a frenzy of stabbing.

When you are in Tel Fyr, visit the wizard (the guy in that lovely daedric armor)
somewhere left u can find a small chest with lock lvl 100. when u have unlocked it, u find a daedric amulet or something. Now save the game. Equip the amulet. u will be transported to a daedric temple. Defeat the guy and u get a daedric crescent. (two-handed long blade with paralyse)
Ill try to sen u a pic.

[Toroabok]

thx, man. i never saw a guy with daedric armor tho. i would remember if i did cuz i would have it lol. i guess it wasnt a katana it was a dai katana lol. the only peice of daedric armor i have is a daedric helm of fear or sumthin i got it at ghostgate.

I always go with longblades, although occasionaly i have a character that has marksman too. That's not too frequent though, because i hate marksman at lower levels

Yup..agree with you there wolfie! I also normally stick with longblade...ohhh a woman with a huge DDK is awesome!

[Toroabok]

ya wen ur a low lvl marksman, u suck totally lol

[King Death]

Yeah, that's why if I ever use Marksman, I make it a major skill.

thats what you do. make it a major and then take the 250 (I think thats the number) iron arrows in the warehouse right next to the census and exercise office(or what ever it is) and I think there might be a bow in there. If not buy one with the money you get from selling all the stuff in there or you can wait 'till pelgaid and either buy a bonemold bow or steal a steel bow from the fort. either way you can basically kill any monsters and low level bandits with that combo. (Lvl 30 marksman, 250 iron arrows, and the bow)

Marksman isn't any harder to improve than other skills. *shrug* Or any more expensive. Personally I don't have any "gaming moral" objections to training a skill to maybe 20 or 25, where you can actually start to learn on your own somewhat. There's thousands of free arrows laying around, and plenty of slow enemies you can practice on, so...

Yeah, but I'll have my long blade at 100 and both blunt and axe at about 75, and I just never feel like wasting my time getting my marksman up

[Rattenkoph]

Most of the time i use my Sunder, with a deadric towershield (constant effect +45 strengt ) I like ranged too, I use Auriel's bow on the guards in Vivec (they've never liked me)

Spears and marksman. Though marksman gets kind of repeative when you've had max for days. Spears I love, you can keep the opponent at range while pwning them, I'd miss them in oblivion but with the new intense combat system I don't think I'll notice.

Daedric Longsword, Enchanted with Damage Health
Full Daedric Armour with Tower Shield, Enchanted with Fortify Heavy Armour Skill... All clothes Exquisite enchanted with Fortify Strength and an Amulet that Healed 8 HP/sec constant effect.
I am an Xbox player so it wasn't easy to get all that, but, heck! It was worth it.
I love the blades and will be using a Longsword/Bow combo in Oblivion, just to try out the new systems.

[tymestrike]

I like blunt weapons but that maybe because the enchatments accually get time to work. Then again i still try to make parchement out of my enemys when they leave a hammer around.
smashes the cliffracer another half dozen times

I figure I am the only person who would vote for it but where are the spears? You should at least have it there.....I love Illkurak when I got it I used it for most the rest of the main quest and then some. I hate all the other spears as a general rule though...so I have to equally say short blades, espeically glass, I don't like having a weapon lower my loot count b/c of high weight.
