I have both dawnguard and dragonborn dlc, but when I got the nightingale blade, I was at a low level, so it does 5 points of absorption for health and stamina. I want to enchant a new blade so I've been raising my smithing and enchanting skills to 100, but I don't want a sword that's too overpowered. I've been thinking nordic, but the sword looks to flat. Then I was gonna go for dragonbone sword, but I'm afraid it might be too op.
Should I forge the dragonbone sword and not improve it to keep it from dominating everything I see or should I go for something else?
