My favorite is probably blunt weapons and long blades.

Theres absolutely no difference really, although, the satisfying crunch of a mace hitting ribs is hard to beat.

I voted for long blade as that is what I use most often with my characters, however, when it comes to the battle, whatever is handy and most applicable.
(When I am using a test character I don't mess around, just use the console to get rid of them.

Spear... I don't know why... It's just not in oblivion and it makes it feel like a different, better game.

Marksman is cool with "conventional" weapons but mostly I blow them up with a good shockbolt-spell

I like using my specially made fire-ball. Otherwise, I use a super powerfull enchanted Ebony Staff; Or Daedric Crescenting it up.

I said longblade because there is no option for magic. Why isn't there an option for magic?

I usually have my character have ALL weapon skills in my major and minor. It's better that way because If I find a stronger weapon in one skill out of all of them, I can use all the weapons... without feeling like I've let a tremendous oppurtunity go to waste.

There is something really satisfying about putting arrows in you opponets body, I go to ebonheart, levitate up to a tower, use a lock spell to lock the trap door and then I reak havoc from above.

Warlock, you really shouldn't double post like that.
Oh, I voted long blade, but I usually just use whatever I have on me.

Short blades seem to be unpopular. It's a shame, they are a lot of fun!

I doubt I've ever used long blade... if it's a blade, it's short blade... no idea why.
