O.K., i'm havin a real time here because in morrowind i always had a weapon, (usually homemade) that took off about 120, but i can't find any REALLY nice weapons, any help

I think perhaps this a Gameplay issue as opposed to a technical help one?

But I dunno where to get decent weapons just yet.

Daedric weapons are the strongest with the longsword doing 18 damage. I do not know the whole formula for hurting an "actor" but in the Construction Set, armor maxes at 85, so weapon damage, skill, and strength should overcome that.

To answer the question more simply, there are not any weapons that do 100 damage. Weapons gain heavy damage from spell enchants like a longsword doing 18 damage plus 30 damage health enchant.

Daedric are not the strongest weapons. I have seen Elven and Ebony longswords that are more powerful than Daedrick. Also, there is no set number of damage per weapon...the higher your skill levels the better your items perform.

gonzrick you dumbass

theres a dwarven bow underneath hackdirt whici is near...chorrol, due south i think

You're wrong. As your skills affect your use with a weapon and the damage there is a number assigned to each weapon for damage. Daedrick weapons/armour are the best. If you read Manual of Arms it gives you the breakdown of what's lowest to highest.

for now my fav weapon is the one u can get in the imperial city, that katana that destroys the armor and weapons that the opposer owns.

Just to clear this up.
WEAPONS DO NOT IMPROVE DUE TO YOUR SKILL LEVEL. YOU ARE NOT GONNA FIND A DAGGER WHEN YOU ARE LEVEL 1, THAT DOES 2 DAMAGE, AND HAVE THE SAME DAGGER DO 20 DAMAGE WHEN YOU ARE LEVEL 22. WHAT DOES AFFECT ITEMS IS THE LEVEL YOU ARE BEFORE YOU FIND THEM. IF YOU ARE A LOW LEVEL AND YOU OPEN A CHEST, YOU COULD FIND AN IRON BOW. IF YOU ARE A HIGH LEVEL AND OPEN THE SAME CHEST ( FOR THE FIRST TIME) YOU COULD FIND AN ENCHANTED GLASS BOW OR SUMAT LIKE THAT.
just thought id tell you that, it helps when your dads playing it too but at a lower level, you can find out useful stuff like this :D:D:D:D:D

if your skills with weapons dont improve the dmg a weapon does, then wat is the point of lvling up that skill? my friend is horroble with a steel war hammer and can only do 4 dmg with it. im the same lvl and my hammer skill is 51, i do 8 dmg with the same weapon.

because you found the hammer at a different blunt/character level than your friend did

ok if damage is affected by what skill level you are when you found it then can someone please explain 2 things:

1: when i got a rakaviri katana its damage was 8 but when my skill had gone up a bit it was 10.

2: i can win the arena with my first character with a rakavri katana but with my mage i can't get to the third level with a dwarven longsword?

please clear these things up if what you said was true

Nonsense.

I've had a daedric sword for a few levels and each time my strength or Blade skill increases so does the damage rating of the sword.

Steel stuff I've had in my chest 'for ever' apparently does far more damage now than it did when I was a level 5 character when I found it.

It makes sense - when you are level 1 you don't know how to make the best use of the weapons and as you get better you do more damage. You also find better kit of course so perhaps you haven't noticed.

Ok you lot. Here comes the science.

When you are level 1, you open a chest and find an iron sword. When you are level 22, you open a chest and find an enchanted daedric sword.

This happens because loot scales with your character. So you're not going to find glass weapons at level 1, but you can still find iron weapons at level 22.

Your weapon skill does increase damage done by a weapon. However, being a higher level does not increase the base damage a weapon does. An iron sword is still [Censored] at level 20, but your skill makes up for it a lot. Essentially, by the time you get to level 100, you may as well use whatever weapon you want, because the difference between the weapons themselves will be so incredibly minor due to your high skills and stats.

And the arena points out quite blatently the problems with the leveling system. There are specific sweet spots in the your level:monster level ratio, it seems to me that they occur every five levels or so. IE, at level 19, you'll have a way easier time than at level 20. So my advice is to back up your level ups. Don't sleep until you think you have enough xp to advance multiple levels. Plus of course, not sleeping straight away allows you to level up your skills more, which gives you bigger stat bonuses (+3 to +5) when you do level up, so essentially, you're maximising the bonus you get for every level.

ok, ill admit that sice my last post i have found that as blade skill increases so does the weapons damage, but what i said about FINDING" uber-cool" weapons still stands. my dads level 12 and all he can find is mithril armour, im level 23 and i have tonns of enchanted stuff
