What I love?
Sword of wind. A sword with ridiculous reach. (further than the blade!)
Some gloves that increase hand to hand. (sharp pointy thingies on your knuckles and stuff.)
And finally, going completely away from the time period.
A staff that looks and feels like X-com's Heavy Plasma!
And a flying suit to go with it!
Or a staff that spawns a creature that looks like a floating silver football that races to the nearest enemy and blows up in a massive explosion. Call it the Blaster Bomb launcher.
Ok, the last ones just won't fit into Tamriel without making people frown. Forget about those. But I love to see the sword. ,,He is still out of range for melee. Archus Rangius, put an arrow in him. Hmm, why is he swinging his sword? Divines, Archus's head is rolling over the floor!"
