Is this weapon too op to use at this point of the game? I'm level 17.

It came from the Insanity weapon pack, and I mainly got it for this look, didn't know the pack would give be access to weapons this strong already. For comparison I was previously using a 28 dmg Dawnbreaker.

damage scales with level and perks so when you get stronger the numbers grow too and access to better and better gear unlocks. Its a part of every Bethesda rpg to scale items.

Seems I enjoy working on my character( leveling skills, and clearing out caves and hideouts) more than doing the main story.

I'm going to be forced to do the Dawnguard quest though, because these vampires are ruining my shit. Master vampire, and 3 other vampire ran up in windhelm, and killed some non guard npcs. I ran away and let the guards handle it because I wasn't about to accidentally hit one again, and have them come after me.

Eh, Maybe will go with one hand/magic off hand with light or cloth armor next playthrough

My character is OP against physical combat

Level 40 with dwarven armor, and I already have capped armor when using shield.
