For some reason my Trueflame is bugged, or maybe I should say malfunctioning. The flame is there but apparently the Dwemer who forged the blade must've been really drunk. The angle of the flame and the blade don't match, so basically the flame is in front of the blade, not around it. The fire comes out from the same spot as the blade but then it somehow "leans" forward. So it's a dual-blade. And it looks freaky... |

| | | umbra has nothing on sunder. nothing on an enchanted daedric dai katana for that matter. heck, not even on a daedric claymore. pretty much all umbra is good for is screen shots, and even then it doesnt look that great. basically its only redeeming point is that its one big mother trucker.

| | | Umbra is simply too heavy. As is the Ice Blade of the Monarch. The best thing about Hopesfire and Trueflame is that they are so light. You can easily carry both without denting your carrying capacity. |

Well, I wasn't saying it was the best sword. I was just saying that it does get the job done and wondered why everyone pretty much abhored it. Umbra is simply too heavy. As is the Ice Blade of the Monarch. The best thing about Hopesfire and Trueflame is that they are so light. You can easily carry both without denting your carrying capacity.
I agree, it is heavy, but my character is no weakling, so I can deal with it. Not only is he strong, but he wears... I forget the name of the robe... But it has 50 points of feather on it, so pretty much, I can carry the Umbra and like it was nothing and still have 2 extra lbs lifted.  (Umbra is 48 lbs, right?) Anyways, like I said, I'm not saying it's the best sword, but I have yet to come across a better. (I haven't gotten any of the other swords, Trueflame, Hopesfire, whatever, none of them, and I haven't enchanted any of my Deadric stuff yet.) I was merely saying... For being a sword that you find randomly in the hills of Morrowind, it's not that bad.

| | | It pisses me off that Almalexia's blade is better than Trueflame (it is lighter).
At one point I carried Umbra, Daedric Long Bow, Trueflame, Hopesfire, Her Ebony Scimitar, Ice Blade of the Monarch, Sunder, and Keening, along with Souldrinker and a Daedric dagger of stunning.
I decided that 619 units of weight were too much, though. |

That really sucks. I swam all around that dumb shrine looking for a door and possibly some loot... I didn't even think of talking to the statue.   Thanks for the advice. I'll have to check it out sometime.

| | It's not much of a weapon, frankly, though it looks nice enough: a little poison damage, and absorb fatigue. Big deal.

Big deal. | That is exactly how I felt about most weapons in the game. The reason I like Umbra... I does massive damage without having any "cast on strike" enchantment. It is enchanted, but I never use it's enchantments. I carry the Umbra sword around, along with my Deadric bow. And tons of other little throw-ie things, since I'm a 100 level marksman.  But I often feel like a power-gamer with the Umbra sword, because I kill anything with 5 whacks, at the most. Including Ordinators. So that is why I tried walking around with a little dagger, leaving my Umbra at home... That was the worst thing ever. Took five minutes to kill something, even when I hit it with every swing. But I'm just repeating myself. Just because I can kill things with one hit with the Umbra... Does that make me a power-gamer? I use magic a lot, but I find that in fighting the spells are just too weak and take much too long. Longer than it should.
