Im using Conjuring for my magic 2 hander. Its kinda cool. But I have so much trouble with boss's. 200 health, heavy armour and this boss one shots me every time with his bow. Or shouts at me and then kills me. Sigh.

The next character I want to make is an Orc berserker 2hander warrior.
Who is a good follower to take? Would another warrior be good? Or is it better to have the higher DPs caster followers?
Regardless, I'm looking forward to experience you have

Edit: I've always gone with sneaky bow / dagger wielders, so this is still new to me. Typically, do you go with axes, swords, or maces?

That's what the "Deflect Arrows" perk in Block is for. Makes Archers cry.

Nearly 300 hours of game time and I've never done anything but archery, which I still love to bits. Doesn't two-handed get a bit boring after a while though? It's slow, you don't have to do any sort of aiming or anything, and the only fun thing is probably blocking a power attack or something. At least sword and board gives you more combat options.

Uh, that perk only works with shields.

I've played Skyrim for 220 hours without once swinging a two-handed weapon. Since I found myself bored with my sneaky archer and feeling curious, I decided to start a new game, aiming to create a Paladin class (Two-Handed, Heavy Armor, Illusion, Restoration) with a Khajiit.

Making my way through the fort at Helgen, crushing skulls with bare hands, I encountered my first two-handed weapon: an iron greatsword. With bruised knuckles and a firm grip, I took up the rusted blade amidst battle, swung mightily at a villainous Stormcloak, and smote him down to the dirt from whence he came. With the twang of the blade still resonating loudly from the blow to his temple, I engaged another Stormcloak, this time with the bloodlust of a maniac.

Forget their slow, encumbering nature. Forget the vulnerability you feel. The gods gave you two hands. Use them both for your weapon.

I'm using mods which add more realistic two-handed swords (faster and less bulky), as well as the ability to run with it in one hand, and only use both hands when you actually attack, and it makes the gameplay great. There is the obvious downside of not being able to use spells while fighting, but the power of two handed weapons, and their ability to 'shield bash' more than makes up for it imo.

Isn't making two handed weapons faster and less bulky less realistic? I don't know anyone who could run with a greatsword in one hand. Sounds painful to me. I'm not picking on you I'm just stumped as to the logic of it.
