My favorite weapon is definitely Mehrunes' Razor. The instant-kill chance makes me really happy even though I've got better weapons to choose from.

Is that unmodded as in no game mods used or unmodded as in the weapon hasn't been modified in anyway?


if the former, I usually favor one of my characters' custom weapons. Of late my Terror Talon, it's nice having a fear effect strong enough to make a greybeard run away... if it doesn't turn them to ash first.

If the latter, the bound bow. There's just something about leaving ghostly arrows embedded in various locations around a room.

I love the look of the Nordic Sword. The curved, runic design just makes it kinda sleek and smooth.

I agree. The Nordic sword is my favorite sword in-game as it reminds be of Tristan's sword on King Arthur. And of Vlad the Impaler's sword.

Chain lightning is my favorite thing to use in general but for weapons the Dwarven crossbow and glass war axe take the cake, then again all glass weapons look nice imo.

I like to enchant my own stuff: something with Absorb Health, and something with the Fiery Soultrap (Ironbind Barrow) duo as my backup weapon. And once I have been to Solstheim, something with the Chaos Damage enchantment, because that will get around almost any resistance.

That way I can upgrade as my smithing and enchanting levels increase.

Most of my artifact weapons end up sitting on a rack or being presented to my favorite companions.

I used to love the Ebony bow. Or even the original Hunting Bow, the more simple bows look and feel the nicest. I always end up using bound bow though. Archery all the way.

My favorite weapon and the only weapon I use is the enhanced dwarven crossbow with the different exploding elemental bolts.

Unmodded except for DLC - BloodSkal Blade. If only it's enchant could be made more powerful...

After mods - the spears from the heavy Armoury mods. They all look just right.

Right now my current character is using a shield and Nordic Short Spear. I think the spear is from the immersive weapons mod... It is a fast swinging weapon that along with Skyre does quite a bit of bleeding damage.
Got my SKYRIM fix for today. Life is good.
