    Crushing with the great two-handed sword is way cooler than anything else.

    Standard long bow.

    Throwing axes are quite cool too. Only shame that there's only one good (Azuredge).

    The Katana is a very cool weapon. So is the Two Handed Sword. I voted for darts and long bows. The long bow rules all in ranged combat, and I like darts because you can fire off 3 in a round -- great for spell disruption, and you can use a shield, too!

    Azuredge is not the only choice for throwing axes, which are the best choice for Dwarven fighters. What about K'Lorgath?

    I strongly believe that the katana and the compositive longbow is the most usefull weapons but i use two swords so and the long sword has its uses. Also the flail of the ages is the coolest blunt weapon I' ve seen so far. :p

    Katanas and longswords. And two weapon style. :cool:

    The coolest ranged weapon is longbow, although I use them seldom.

    [​IMG] In my opinion Katanas are a bit overestimated. Ok. They do a lot of damage, and Celestial Fury is quite cool, but later in the game +3 weapons are to weak for the most opponents.
    Best weapons in the game are Carsomyr, Black Razor and Crom Faeyr. Throwing axes are very nice, I simply like them, especially K'logorath and they make more damage then bows.

    Bang - This wasn't the best wpns, it was the 'coolest', and that's just a personal taste ppl got.

    I go for Short Swords and Scimitars whenever I can. Short Bows too, Gesen is nice, and the bow from that Beastmaster during the Slaver mission. Can't remember the name.

    Skald, Short Sword + Short Bow = fun!

    The short bow from the beastmaster = Tuigan's Bow.
    That one is quite nice, and cOOL.

    It might be just me, but I think that longsword/bow is a cool combo :cool: :cool:
    PS: I'm no elven fan at all. Humans rule!

    Longsword. Katanas are more powerful, but it's harder and longer to find big 'pluses'.
