    A few issues:
    -You suggest improving the Headsman's Axe at a grindstone to boost its damage. This axe *cannot* be improved in the base game, much like the Ebony Blade, though it can be enchanted.
    -You mention that Windshear trivializes the Ebony Warrior, while he's actually one of the few enemies that can hold his own against it. Indeed he has the Tower of Strength and Reflect Blows perks, which allow him to resist stagger and occasionally reflect it onto you.

      That's been my thought with some of the weaker named weapons. The enchantment tends to be rather unique, like the Gloves of the Pugilist. You can disenchant them and apply that enchantment to a better item. But that choice doesn't apply to all unique weapons, esp those named above, like Windshear.

    I know its not the most well hidden weapon, but my favorite is the axe of fiery souls; pretty much because you can disenchant it and add soul trap and fiery damage to more potent weapons. Maxing out your enchantment skill and being able to add a second enchantment makes it work better; my current weapon burns, freezes and captures souls at the same time.

    There is a far easier way to get the Glass Bow of the Stag Prince: Reverse pickpocket any kind of Dagger (iron is my preference) then smack him with a shield or bow bash, sheath your weapon to de-aggro him (use a calm spell if necessary) and the bow will be for sale. Edit: And though it doesn't work toward the achievement, It is technically a Daedric artifact, that's why it's such a good weapon.

    The Poachers Axe is intentionally bad from what I can tell, upon entering the camp and entering the general area of the bandits unnoticed, the bandits without the axe will say something along the lines of needing to sharpen the axe, which is also why the other will be at a grindstone actively sharpening it. So the low damage is due to it being dull

    The way the Poachers at Halted Stream Camp brought down the mammoths is kind of self explanatory if you think a bit longer about it. Behind the back of the dead mammoth in the main room in the cave there's another path, that leads into skyrim, but really just leads to a pit filled with wood spikes in it. In the pit we find some travelers and Elk and things of the kind. So basically, the bandits would lure the mammoths into the pit, the mammoth would die, and then they would take it into the cave, to strip the carcass of the flesh, bones, tusks etc.

    Also, if the Stag Prince's bow grants you 5 points per 20 animal kills up to 100, wouldn't that make 25 points rather than 20?

      There's:
      Bows
      Axes
      Mace
      Swords
      Greatswords
      Warhammers
      Battleaxes
      Spears
      Daggers and staffs. Not much of a variety.

    What lighting mods do you use? Been trying to find one but none make the game look as bright and vibrant as yours

    I like dual wielding two Blades of Woe. They're ebony so you can improve the sheet out of them plus the double life steal is a nice perk. Not game changing, but it adds up.
    How you get two is you level up your pickpocket until you're strong enough to pick equipped items and pick it off Astrid before you finish the Dark Brotherhood quest line. At the end of the quest line she gives you her blade as a quest reward, therefore you have two now.
    It's been many years since I've done this so idk if they ever fixed that exploit or not...

    It's not that secret, but Chillrend is definitely my favorite sword of all time. I always wait patiently for that sweet level 46 before taking it up because it's going to be my companion for the rest of the game.
