Your Favourite Weapon?

[Gilwe]

A one-handed battle axe with a huscar shield or round shield when playing a Nord.

Military Hammer for blunt, capturing prisoners and nice looks. I'm starting to like the 2h hammers for brutal melee and block crushing.

For Piercing definately the Morningstar.

In multiplayer I always get a pike when playing Rhodoks in an open field.

 

[Belisarius]

Depends on game phase. I find axes quite effective at the beginning, then swords, and with good skill development piercing weapons are a must in the late stages.

My favorite is the lance: great for stabbing from horseback and the occasional couching.
For secondary weapon I pick anything that looks good At the moment I'm liking the Sarranid arming sword.

Cleavers. Any kind of cleaver really.

Oh, Cleavers, how I love you. You cleaved through that guy chest/head/neck and straight into my heart

I'm shocked you didn't mention how great the cleavage is
for shame

Better than Mica but not as good as Hooter's girls.

-Heavy morningstar for general ****-slappery
OR
-Military hammer for prisoners

-Reinforced steel shield
-Masterwork nomad bow (PD 6, best combo of speed + power imo)
-Large bag of bodkin/khergit arrows

That's for maximum effectiveness, anyway (along with heavy heraldic armor of some sort and a heavy charger).

For sheer joy factor, probably either the bec de corbin or any of the cartoonishly large 2h axes. On foot, in heavy armor, soloing bandits. Whirlwind of death.

No doubt about it, the scimitar, I also like a short arming sword.

The club with spike was cool before they made it long. Baseball ftw.

War Hammer, edited to be useable on horseback.

Great range and speed and good damage types for armored enemies, aka the only challenge in the game.

 

[Winterwolf00]

I like a balanced long arming sword with a steel shield. Makes me feel like a fencer. 

 

[Aleolex]

I've also become pretty partial to bows and crossbows as well. They deserve a special place in the heart.

... well, more towards the temple actually. maybe the eyes.

 

[lamerstein]

Another vote for Masterwork Long Arming Sword. Great for every occasion.

And for Siege defence - the humble Polearm, the damage is right on par with the big axes and bardiches and its180 length means I can chop from safe distance

 

[Uhtred of Bebbanburg]

Balanced Elite Scimitar if I'm out killing bandits and low level/low armor enemies.

Heavy Morningstar if I'm going up against heavily armored tier 4 and 5 troops.

I suck with any polearm unless I'm on foot.

I arm all my companions with a balanced spiked mace.  Fast attack, decent damage but a bit hard to find. Pays for itself in prisoners and it can be used on horseback or in a tightly packed castle assault.

 

[Faranox]

Shortened Military Scythe- the ultimate horsebane.

 

[Proteus]

On Horseback it is crossbow and jousting lance (as this gets me prisoners instead of kills)
on foot it is usually crossbow together with one of the types of poleaxe

 

[Winterwolf00]

Theres truely nothing better then looking out over the quiet battlefield and seeing your enemies lying on the ground covered in crossbow bolts. 

 

[SpittingLlama]

Honestly, if Native allowed the Bec de Corbin to swing sideways, I'd use that as a polearm almost invariably. But that's why I play my own mod for SP.

It's easy enough to mod, It became my fave weapon after I did that.
