what is your #1 favorite weapon? not the best, but the one you like the most (including spells).
Mine is the ebony warhammer

I honestly don't know. It's almost always a blade for me due to my love for sneaky types and daggers/short swords/blades in general. Though I look to the graphics and The iron dagger and short sword come to mind as well as the ebony/blade of woe.

and then ther'es spells. Long duration paralyze hands down my favorite. Wish there was a way to pull something like that off from stealth lik rushing up to some guy and screaming, "JUDO CHOP" and taking them out. :mrgreen: but that my love for paralyze kinda showed itself today when i tried talking to someone afflicted with it and wound up running off with their house keys.

Just about anything glass. Though I always thought the Daedric Crescent looked sweet. Of course, that was sadly left behind in Morrowind.
... and you know, I don't actually have an Orc character.

The best weapons that most closely match my character's Cheydinhal cuirass and leather armor getup are the Steel-grade melee weapons and Iron arrows. As such, she uses a Steel claymore or War Axe for close-quarters combat...

...but the most favored weapon is a bow. Now, a Steel Bow looks just like a Fine Steel Bow, and a Black Bow looks just like a Fine Steel Bow (which is to say, it looks like a Steel Bow). Of the three, the Black Bow is definitely the best, and the one my character uses is the Black Bow pried from the corpse of the gang's leader, Black Brugo. She gets it early on, and she scores most of her kills with it. When it's enchanted with Fire Damage to combat the undead, it picks up a name: "Whisper", after the City of the Undead from Spellforce.
Baurus: Our job is to get the Emperor out of situations like this. Though I'll admit, things aren't going exactly to plan.

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

I say it every time a thread like this comes up: Fists.

Nothing is more satisfying than beating up an heavy-armoured Orc with just Plan A and Plan B (I named my fists! Yeah!)

Madness Claymore.

If you enchant one with Soul Trap, it looks a Hell of a Lot like the Soul Reaver, from Legacy of Kain. :Twisted Evil:

Now I got my hands on a new blade for the first time. I always thought a certain sword mentioned on this forum was a 2h but as a 1h umbra kinda jumped to my favorite slot hands down.


:oops: thought it was a 2h like in morrowind.

I like Dawngang/Duskfang. It self repairs and self re-enchants! Which is really different compared to Morrowind, where enchanted stuff recharges over time... :|

I love Umbra and I like the look of the Blade of Woe. As far as bows go Bow of Freezing paired with any arrows causing flame damage is total destruction.
