Weapons in Oblivion Remastered come in various types, each with different damage outputs, attack speeds, and skill associations. The main categories are Blades (swords, daggers, katanas), Blunt (maces, warhammers, clubs), and Marksman (bows). Each weapon type scales with its respective skill, increasing damage and unlocking new combat moves as your skill improves. Weapons also have a durability rating, which decreases with use and requires repair.
Enchantments are what truly elevate a weapon's power. Common enchantments include elemental damage (Fire, Frost, Shock), Absorb Health, Soul Trap, and Silence. Unique weapons often come with powerful, pre-set enchantments. You can also create your own enchantments at the Arcane University's Altar of Enchanting, provided you have a filled Soul Gem and the desired spell effect. Consider your build when choosing weapons and enchantments; a warrior might prefer a powerful two-handed sword with Fire Damage, while an assassin might opt for a silenced dagger with Absorb Health.
