And good luck finding all your weapons after the fifteenth disarm shout, pro-tip: turn off clipping and look inside the walls.

If you are level 31 or higher (which I assume the OP is, or they would not all be deathlords) you can't get disarmed. So there's that.

But was is your level? Dam. amount of your sword.. Two-H sword is slow. 2 One-H would be better. Even dagger. I only fight with a Daedric dagger now. Fire/Soul trap and another of Absorb Health/Fire. Now at Level 70 I find many Death Lords and worth Death Overlords. No problem... Great fun.

So now try to find a corner where you can get them one by one. Or shout, spring and kill them quickly..

Well this is wrong for a start.

Or... you can try to stay back and let Mercer do the dirty work. He's invincible. Summons might help, too. You don't happen to possess the Sanguine Rose? Or the Wabbajack?

I would refer you to http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Disarm

"Draugr may stop using this shout after the player reaches level 30, as the player is immune to it. However, draugr may sometimes try to use the Shout on a lower-level follower, or use the Disarm shout on the player, to no avail."

This has been my own experience.

Ok, fair play that that is indeed what it says, however I have been disarmed at level 45 before. And no, i'm not using mods etc as i'm on a 360. Maybe the text is wrong or the game is bugged?

Nope, this was last year when I was playing it Vanilla unmodded. Just face the fact sir, you are wrong.


Good suggestion.

I cannot take the credit, Mai'iq gave me the idea.

Their shouts have different limitations than player shouts. They even have different names/IDs.

Are two-handed weapons really that bad? I'm trying 2-handed for the first time now, and apart from a really nice stagger if I do a powerattack, I do seem to get my ass handed to me more often than my 1-handed characters did.

My main character has been using a 2H Steel Greatsword for most of my adventure. Although I have no complaints (other then he is slow to swing it), I have switched to 1H and Shield combo for a change of pace. I'm finding i'm having better luck and surprisingly more enjoyment with this new found combo. So to answer, there is nothing wrong with either, albeit 2H usually has a more powerful attack, but is slower to connect so you may miss whereas 1H means you hit more frequently but may be hitting for less. Make sense? Oh and personal preference. Can't forget that now ;)

The camera seems to swing around an awfull lot when using 2H weapons while in 1st person. (or am I just imagining things?) I find I have to switch to 3rd person. And I still miss a lot. But, then, I stink with the controller.

I made it thanks to bound 2-Hander and bow, some firestorm scrolls, mad kiting, all my 4 ultimate healing pots and a well placed "Soul tear" to gain one of them as allies :D

Im lvl47 btw. Though Ive never seen that many deathlords in one encounter. I counted 7 out of 8 as deathlords with 1 scourge.

No, I agree there. It seems to recoil more then you'd expect. That said, I don't use many 2H swords these days. Muskets and WWII stuffs when playing around with my hobby but swords, not for a long time.
