If we're going by game mechanics, my favorites are always the strongest of their respective types. My absolute favorite is the Mace of Aevar Stonesinger, since it's arguably the strongest weapon in the game or either expansion.


If we're going by looks, I love the Ebony Scimitar. This is my favorite type of sword in real life, so to see an awesome fantasy version of it made from super durable material is sweet. It's great for roleplaying a Dark Elf crusader.

Umbra!! That baby got me through most of the game. It was the blade that helped me make it through my random adventures throughout Vvardenfell, even when I wandered somewhere dangerous and too tough for my character, Umbra was there to help me survive. I love that blade!

In-game vanilla weapons? For bows, the rare Ebony longbow. Take that and add some "Night Eye" Constant Effect with a renaming of "Ebony bow of Wolfsight". I love Spark arrows of any kind, though Flame are just as toasty.

Mod added weapons, that is a hard one. There are so many absolutely beautiful bows and quivers rival Oblivion's in beauty, that I have to devote a room in the home to just displaying all the various bows.

For when an arrow won't do, it is a toss-up between the Stalhrim Long Sword, or the Nordic Battle Ax. I used to like the Daedric, as well as the Dwemer because of their conditions, but sometimes, you just want that puppy to look good before you cleft an adversary with it.

Generic weapon sets I used to prefer Long blades, but my new character is trying most things I have never tried before...
So spears get my vote now as they are pretty useful and I like them for my Khajiit acrobat, and after reading the infernal city I can't see why I would play one without it taken in a skill set.

Gameplay:
Daedric Dai-Katana, unenchanted.
I killed Gaenor in about a minute with this, first try.

Runner Up: The Silver Longsword of Paralysis from the weapon smuggling quest in Bloodmoon.



Appearance:
Ebony Scimitar

Runner Up:
Steel Claymore

I initially started playing Morrowind with a mage but I have gotten annoyed at my limited and constantly diminishing magicka supply. So I have also started an assassin type character and my favorite weapons so far are a daedric long bow for range kills and a demon tanto (bound dagger) for close encounters.

So far, for me... my favorite weapons are my Glass Longsword (With +7-10 frost damage or something like that, got it off a recent quest-kill NPC, go FG Quests) and Umbra. Umbra helps so much when I'm in a spot of a jam, or just want to get somewhere fast with almost no hassle. Going to try to train my Marksmanship next, even though it is a Misc. skill. Either that or I am going to look for a Glass axe or Mace... Haven't even started the MQ really yet! O.O. This game is so much fun.

Black Hands Dagger or Veloth's Judgement

For mod-added weapons, of course I'm biased:

Cleaver of St. Felms (One-Handed Axe)

Reason: Simple, Fast, Powerful and looks awsome

I just found that treestump containing those! Bloodmoon is fantastic!

UMBRA SWORD!!!!

depressingly enough i had to give it up for trueflame :violin:

Killing Umbra is a piece of cake once you have the ebony arrows of slaying... one shot kill lol!

Daedric dagger. Such a cool design.

The iron longsword. I love it, it looks robust, used and simple.

Not sure if this is my favorite weapon, but I really like Trebonius' Staff... mostly because of the magical effect and the sound it makes. Feels awesome to just spam a lot of attacks on my foe with this weapon.

Agree. Just downloaded and installed and they are very sweet. My female Breton loves them. Thanks for bringing it up!

Favourite weapon? Just give me a snazzy steel crossbow and I'm set to go.
With mods I've got a cool dwemer crossbow replacement that suits my needs perfectly too (never did like the original... too ordinary to be a dwemer's).

If the enemy gets in close, I give 'em a quick stab with a steel jinkblade then run like hell.

...yeah but i got through a lot with that sword, i got it at level two by using about a hundred arrows, a huge rock, and a marksman skill of thirty some (long time to get but worth it) anyhow it was the first weapon i had when i defeated dagoth ur.

While I was in my http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1109516-just-how-bored-were-you/, I enchanted (myself) one of my Vagabond's Silver swords (the claymore) with an Absorb Health 24-100 on Strike using Vivec's soul. It has a charge of 1000 and uses only 2 pts per hit. It's my favourite weapon now for adventuring

Stock weapons: Daedric Crescent.
Weapons I've created: None. :shrug: I always use a warrior so I don't have the power to enchant anything, and any decent enchantment from a mage costs too much (although I could have hundreds of thousands of gold pieces from selling my weapons, there is no one who afford my stuff, so...).

A Chitin Spear's all I need svckas!

The silver spear or a dwemer claymore

This. But I never thought to do an Absorb Fatigue enchantment, nice idea.

But I like a simple, clean, d-d-Katana. Especially on an argonian.

Dagger of Judgement is always a treat for my newer characters, I also love the way Keening looks.
Fury is just terribly fun to use.
Being the huge spear fan that I am I love Greed, Illkurok, and Airan-Ahhe's Spirit Spear.
As for artifacts I'd say the Spear of Bitter Mercy is my favorite by a fairly wide margin.
I also really like the Ebony Mace and of course the the classic Iron Broad Sword, always a trusty one.
I never cared for the weapons in the expansions much, but hopesfire and trueflame are pretty sweet.

Daedric War Axe. Practical, does what I need it to do, rarely breaks, looks nice, not too heavy, and doesn't clutter my screen. Perfect weapon for me.
