  im stumped on which weapons and armour are good for my nord whos character is a blood loving murderer. i was thinking of two handed but i think onehanded should be more suited to him.

  There isn't really a "Best" weapon, it's basically just whether you wanna do 1Hand + Shield or 2hander. 2 handers are slower and do more damage, 1 handers are faster, do less damage, can be dual wielded for lots of damage, and can be used with a shield. Your choice, I use sword and shield for my Nord Thu'um Master, and my orc uses a Big ol' Axe.

  If you've already chosen Nord, they start with a +10 for 2-handed skill. They also have a boost for light armor as well. I've been enjoying dual-wiedling a sword and a mace.

  It depends on your playstyle, especially with the armor selection. Choose either heavy or light, and wear whatever the best is that you have available.

  Its useful to use the Elemental Fury shout together with a two-handed weapon. If you then also take an orc's Berserker Rage, you have a two-handed warrior not to make fun with.
