It's just... maces have the absolute highest 1 handed damage in the game. So two maces hitting fast as hell... it's the most overpowered.
The percentage modifiers make it so insane with the higher base damage...
A mace is slower than a sword, so DPS is about the same.
Not with 3 part Elemental Fury.... try it. Hold LMB+RMB... like 5 attacks are near instant.
But you can put ASPD modifiers on swords, too... so what's the point? Either way once you get a weapon that hits the damage cap (which is lower than people think it is), the weapon you use doesn't even matter.
I was gonna go mage for this game but my friend is playing one, so I wanted to do something different. Figure i'll go pretty much pure warrior. Felt like making a character modeled after Kenpachi from Bleach.
QUick opinion question from you guys: High elf or Nord? Nord makes more sense, but i checked and the High elfs are noticeably taller than Nords. Plus theyre the only race with a spikey hair style. Unfortunately the Nords do not have one =( I was also wondering What you guys think for the Weight slider. I was thinking about it and Kenpachi is tall and cut but hes not really super buff like cranking the weight bar makes you. Should i leave it in the middle? A notch to the right or so? Several notches to the left? Its kinda a pain checking the weight bar with your shirt off since it takes like 10-15 minutes to get to the point where you can take your shirt off and pull the camera back.
Im leaning to the High elf just for the looks, but like i said im concerned i may get gimped since i dont plan on using many spells. Anyone whos put some hours in that can give me your opinion? I will only be upping alteration a bit for ironskin and the like. Possibly a bit of illusion for paralyse and fear spells. I'll be going either 1h or 2h havent decided yet.

Imo, the two best races in the game are Bretons and Orcs. Bretons get an innate 25% magic resist, which is extremely powerful. With The Lord sign, you can pretty much start off the game with 50% magic resist, which is game changing. Mages are the most powerful enemies in the game, easily. People are going to tell you that you can reach the magic defense cap without being a Breton and that it means nothing.
That's total bullshit. Being a Breton, that means you have at least one extra enchant slot that you don't have to put MR on. Not to mention that the 50% magic resist you can get practically at the beginning of the game is seriously going to make your life so much easier throughout the game.
They're especially powerful as warriors, ironically, because you don't really start out with that many points in core combat skills. Since most early enemies are laughably easy, that means you get free levels because the first 30 levels of any skill are ridiculously fast; you can just save up perk points for when you need them, and get free MP/HP/Stamina upgrades.
Orcs are just useful because of their once a day buff. The problem is that once you get maxed out, about the only thing you're gonna use is the damage reduction on it... but that's still gonna help, just not a terribly huge amount.
Now some news on the technical issues.
Those who bought the game for PS3 are suckers. Not in the sense of "idiots", but in a sense "got screwed over".
Both consoles and PC have the problem that savegames become bigger and bigger the more you manipulate the world. PS3 is the first one to break because of memory limitations, Xbox has poor performance after a while as well. PCs can overcome this problem by simply having over the top specs, but even though my PC should handle this really well, I can see how my games gets slower the more I play.
This is not a bug and it is not console's fault. It is the flawed Creation Gamebryo engine that has always had this problems. It was just not as noticeable with Morrowind and to some extent Oblivion, because it didn't have so meny entities in the game.
Basically: Bethesda, dump you shitty Gamebryo engine and make one from scratch which is less retarded!
Actually, Morrowind suffered from large save problems BIG TIME. There's a reason I stopped playing it on the original Xbox (I was rather pissed too, because I put a lot of time into the character; the game eventually became unplayable).
