    Auriel's Bow is another good one. Most of my Archers pick it up at some point for the exploding arrows which damage undead. Visually I think it is the nicest looking bow (maybe even weapon) in the game, and while the uses are limited, smiting enemies with the power of the sun is one of the most badass things you can do as an Archer.

    Overall playtime/most used favorite? Enhanced Dwarven Crossbow.

    Favorite weapon choice? The Ritual Stone.

    Dragonbane has been one of my most used weapons as of late. I love the idea of a quicksilver blade forged to kill dragons.

    The daedric greatsword would follow close after. I've had so many two-handed builds use it... :)

    Either a sky forged steel sword + enhanced steel crossbow combo OR a nice solid ebony mace with a storm atronach to back it up!

    I love the Skyforge Steel Sword! I've just started a basic Nord hero type character and he's already doing 32 damage per hit at level 13 with that thing. Now to join the Dawnguard and get that Crossbow too.

    Ebony Axe. There is something simply elegant, yet brutally deadly about it.

    Slashing blade on the front, perfect for tackling light armor or unarmored foes

    Piercing spike on the back, perfect for a deadly blow against heavily armored foes.
