| I like a weapon with a good bite but not so heavy that I can't carry treasure. And during a long battle if you block a lot with a two handed weapon and hit with it it wears it down double. Kind of I guess, because it takes fewer hits to kill and the weapon has more durability so it is balanced.
But I like a high quality dagger or shortsword. If I can get my strength up or loads of gold I will carry more or only valuable gear and then have a longsword.
Shield adds a lot of armor too. And in my mod 2 handers hit extra hard but are slow.
