OK my brother just got the game for Xbox 360 and he said he'd give me $10 to find out some things about the game,

Heres what I need to find out: What is the strongest sword in the game and the strongest overall weapon?

Thanks in advance if you can help me,

It all depends on opinions and your skill in the game. The Umbra is a crappy sword at the beginning when you have no Blade skill, but later on it does more damage than Daedric weapons. I would have to say roughly 30 with a good Strength and Blade. Overall weapons though...I would have to go with longswords or shortswords (shortswords swing faster) because Claymores don't end up doing much damage and they're 2-handed. So for best defense and speed I would say longswords are pretty good. Marksman is a good skill if you can find a good bow...otherwise it's useless. Here's a bunch of Oblivion mods and you can even find a program here that let's you create your own mods.

My personal favorite is Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul. It mods some things that seem a little off and it really doesn't make much of a difference...but it kept me playing for longer for some reason.

Hmmm, thanks for the info. But i guess what im really trying to find out is the strongest weapon hands down, like without a high lvl blade skill. Im confused by what you say about longswords being the strongest because the staff Apothesis kills just about anyone in 2-3 hits and my guy is very weak, like lvl 5.

I don't know if what im trying to say is clear but its basically the strongest sword just based on its regular damage without anything else put into the equation, same with the strongest overall weapon.

Edit: by the way, you said longswords are the strongest, but can you please be more specific? like what long sword, because that is what im looking for. The strongest weapon, not the strongest weapon type, thank you

In that case, the strongest weapon I've seen so far with a good Blade would be the Umbra. The enchantment is kind of annoying though. I can search through the TES VI: Construction Set to find a very good weapon if you want?

He's lying! The strongest weapon is the Goldbrand! Umbra does have higher base damage though. Goldbrand has a high attack + 22 fire damage on strike I think it was. I love the game. Can't play it though. I crash every 10 minutes.

Goldbrand? Never heard of it. I've heard of the Chillrend, but never Goldbrand. If you want a great weapon (and I've tried this) try to get a Daedric Sword and enchant it yourself for 30 fire damage. It's possible with an ok willpower and a low Destruction. In the end it does 25 base damage (I think) and the added 30 fire. Not that great against Atronarchs...but still helpful.

Well as you mentioned the staff then the weapon with the highest damage is a selfmade staff or any 2hand weapon you started to specalize with.
Put an element based spell on it (use a 1600 soul stone) which does so much damage that it only can hold 1 charge. Not very useful, but hey you asked for the highest damage i guess.
Other than that, goldbrand is it when you are using swords.
