I have never really had a 2 handed character and I was gonna start one but what do you people think about the two swords when compared?
Ebony blade - Kick ass permanent health drain that you can make even more potent but you need to murder random people (I would just do it on random travellers and fishermen at crab huts) and looks like a katana
Bloodskaal - A mid ranged magic attack that reminds me of "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward sword" and looks like a fearsome greatsword
I think you need to Murder your followers/friends for the Ebony blade, not just random people. Plus, the Ebony blade gains from the One Handed Perk Tree somehow.
The Bloodskaal Blade is pretty good all-round. It's ability is like a Damage Health enchantment I THINK. It damages health directly. I might be wrong though...
But if so, it's good for Short and Mid-range combat.
