Haven't seen yet, well maybe because I haven't used that many weapons. So far I've seen special kill animations for battleaxe, greatsword, sword and... wait... I'm not even sure about war axe :lol:
I should really use wider variety of weapons.

I love Falkreath too and yeah, it would be amazing if the forest was denser.

I just run around with one-handed weapons and magic. The character I use is an Argonian spell-sword with high destruction and light armor. I'm more fond of swords and daggers than the war-axes, but that's just personal preference.

Exactly the reason why I favor Battleaxe. I just find it more brutal/beautiful/badass than any other weapon. Especially glass battleaxe.

I'm usually a sword-wielding Nord, but I do greatly enjoy occasionally taking one of my legendary ebony battleaxes out for a spin and smash some baddies.

Ah, Dawnbreaker, fantastic sword. I had been dual-weilding it with Dragonbane for a while after switching from using two-handed weapons, but I'm taking a break from using Dragonbane and going with the legendary dragonbone sword I just forged.


Dawnbreaker is low on damage.. and its a sword.

I like dual wielding Daggers. The magical daggers with no charges used on strike (Keening and Mehrunes' Razor) are awesome.
Mace and Shield are great too (best stagger for one hand, and the armor penetration perks are awesome), or even dual wielding maces.

Dawnbreaker can hit pretty hard when you improve it, and it's got that sweet enchantment on it. And I don't see the slightest problem about it being a sword.

I just find swords in skyrim underwhelming.. their perks arent that great.. crit chance on swords vs armor ignore on maces? Everyone has their own opinions and ways to approach their gameplay tho.. if it works for you, it works for you.

I personally carry a set of both maces and daggers. Maces vs other melee, and daggers to sneak and backstab mages. It works well for me.

Altho I will admit the enchantment that explodes vs undead is pretty cool for AoE. I prefer to have self sufficient weapons that dont need to be recharged... i horde all my gem stones for enchantment on the crap i pick up after i imp it up with smithing. (ya, i make lots of trips to the college too, just for them).

I used it in one ruin. Never again. It's just ridiculous when you blow up a draugr, the pressure throws all items on the shelves all around the room. And even the items in the next room!

Dragonborn is more substantial and varied, yes, but Dawnguard was definitely the most engaging. The storyline was better than the main game's if you ask me.

Main reason why I got Dragonborn first (last week) and Dawnguard later (don't know when) was that Dragonborn adds more content. So far I've played the game only ~1 hour with it, had quite a busy week. So far the only way it has affected my game so far were those two cultists.
