UESP lists critical damage for Nordic Carved Greatsword at 10: Link. On Master you'll do half of that and on Legendary - 1/4. Even with 30% chance it'll not make much difference. Another Barbarian perk however will be far more beneficial IMO. Plus, you won't have to hear that annoying critical hit sound in combat 

That's something I didn't know, thank you for telling. I wonder why Bethesda implemented those perks than. They could have better given the swords a speedboost or something then. This means only the bleed from the axe is more viable to use than the crit perks. I will change it tomorrow, now I am going to sleep, it is midnight here in Europe :P Again, thank you for the tip!

awesome build :( wish i had pc for the mods..

Omg. My new favorite build on the site!!! Honestly, THIS is what I like to see!! RP, immersion, beautiful back stories that made me wanna make this chick right now! I'm ranting I know, but AMAZING job! +1

Amazing build. Now I have to choose between this or your ranger build as my next build. So hard to pick. +1

Good build, the 1200 word backstory was a little excessive though - maybe post it up as a blog and put a link to it here

I'll try to change it. I have also seen some spelling mistakes so the build gets a complete revision. The perks must be changed too. Thank you!

You give me too much honour, but thank you. I am glad you like it a lot!

Amazing! Honestly... Solid roleplay, good explanation of perk choices, basically everything's perfect once you get rid of those Bladesman perks. Awesome work. +1 of course

I have updated the build:

- I got rid of the "Crit" perks and expanded the One Handed Tree for a little more power.

- I have corrected some spellingmistakes.

- I moved the long backstory to a blogpost.

Thank you all for all the positive feedback!
