I always use long blade, I hate the look of blunt and axe, spear is dodgy looking, the way the figure looks when holding a dagger is the same as if holing a long blade (doesnt look right imo) plus dunmer have a bonus in it
I'm currently playing with a sorcerer, and trying not to use any weapons at all. it's a challenge no less. Otherwise I love the axes. They look cool and deal the most damage. Any char with a high sneak or inviso can do some serious damage with a sneak attack. The base damage of a Bound Axe/Daedric Axe is 80. I think that turns out to be about 320 + axe skill.
