Nice to see you made this thread [______]. :woot: I Love the Fine Steel Longsword and the Fine steel Claymore ( well known fact ) but i too love the Elven shortsword. My character Stryder searched along time until he found a sword that he felt was perfectly balanced and had a fine enough blade. Stryder found his Fine Steel Claymore in Leyawiin when he was level 4. Know at level 18 Stryder has enchanted his Blade and still has no trouble tearing through any Vampire flesh.(Middle Difficulty)

I like all of the silver weapons but the silver dagger is my favorite followed closely by the shortsword.

all of the amber weapons.

The Dragon Sword from Battlehorn Castle.

Dragonsword of Lainlyn

Some of the weapons in the game actually look so good that you don't even feeling getting blood on it. I know I do. In my Skingrad house I keep several nice looking unique weapons in display cases, and just use standard weapons.

Or if I have an intricate bow, I stick to Silver Arrows. I know, Im weird like that.

Fine Steel and Elven Weapons, minus the Longsword and Claymore. They could of been much better.

RUSTY IRON WARHAMMER

Do you see a lot of those in your game? Just sayin' . . .

Vanilla provides rusty iron: dagger, short sword, mace, war axe, bow.
Vanilla does not provide rusty iron: warhammer, battle axe, claymore, long sword.

Perhaps you are using a mod that provides rusty iron warhammers?

:tops:

This is how the devs should have made the sword. Why did they make it so fat? :facepalm:
