Long story short. I made a new character who swings 2h weapons. I noticed yesterday that something feels a bit off. I went to the backyard of the companions and did some testing with 2h and 1h weapons(minus daggers) on those practice dummies.

The results were baffling. I can hit the dummies with a 1h mace from way further away than I can with a 2 handed axe/sword. It's ridiculous. If I switch to third person the distance seems about right for the 2hander. the tip of the claymore (almost)reached the dummy when I was close enough to hit it. Then I tried the mace. I could hit it from much further away than I could with the claymore, and there was at least half a meter of empty space between the tip of the mace and the little dust effect that comes with the hit.

How's the situation for you? If any of you who play unmodded tried a bit of testing I would be most grateful The first guy I ever made used 2handers too, but that was just after the game was released, before I had any patches or mods. Now I have used a combat altering mod, but I uninstalled it. Could it be still affecting my game?
