Two-handed weapons are unbalanced

Post » Sat Sep 24, 2011 10:52 pm

I have a problem in my current game, I'm playing Morrowind with both expansions and the unoffical morrowind patch. The problem is that whenever I face someone with a two-handed weapon like a sword or an axe they just kill me in one hit. So for some reason two-handed weapons are about 30x stronger than other weapons in the game. I can kill a high level character with full armor because he or she is using a one-handed weapon but if I go up against a simple peasant with a 2h sword in one of the first dungeons in the game I lose. To be able to beat him I have to lower my difficulty by 100, which brings me down to 0, the default difficulty and even then it's pretty hard. Of course I could play at this difficulty but then everything else in the game would be way too easy.

I have played the game long enough to know that it doesn't matter who I'm facing or what I'm wearing or what level or stats I have. Two-handed weapons are always much stronger than other weapons, so it's a pretty obvious problem and I was wondering if there is a fix or mod or something to help me with this problem?
