I like whips and pic-axes myself. Sucks you can't take mining at start. For throwing I like sharp rocks, they are expendable, and if your knapping is good enough (And it is easy to grind) quite effective.

In previous versions, with the pointlessness of amassing wealth and the abundance of fine weapons, eventually I'd be throwing around +<<+Iron Pick(s)+>>+ like balled-up pieces of paper. Gave nasty paper-cuts too.

Recently, I have started to like morningstars (I start adventures as maceman), simply because morning star, it addition to bashing, does quite a lot of organ and tissue tearing (due to spikes, I presume). Plus, I don't know how they are simulated in the game, but they should have a bonus to hit. Morning star IRL is a weapon that is both difficult to control and difficult to defend against.

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.

Swords, nice and tactical. Spears, hammers, axes and anything else I can find for throwing. Just splendid!

Halberds. Stabby stab cutters they are. Whips are good too, but that's assuming you only want to dent brains and avoid dismembering corpses for reanimation.

Also, any weapon that severs a limb when thrown.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

Dual-wielding scimitars. salami slice tactics at the beginning and vs. tougher opponents (severing arms, legs etc until its incapable of doing harm then stab for the head), with high skills headshot-stabs to one-hit pretty much everything. pretty nice vs. groups, since you can severe legs to thin out the lines and with every severed part there is one guy less running right after you. some problems vs necromancers due to the high chop-off chance, i tend to use kicking/punching vs. corpses...the collapse with one or two hits, even though my skills are not that high.

slash a lowerbody until guts come out, then chop at the guts until they pop off

Swords all the way. They're hugely versatile, and besides every self-respecting medieval hero should have a sword.

Socks inspire the same sort of emotions in dwarfs that Helen of Troy inspired in the Achaean Greeks. Although it is said that Helen's face launched a thousand ships, socks have surely launched a million ultimately-fatal Store Owned Item tasks.

spears, bolts, and arrows for throwing, axe for taking off trophies, and a pick for brutal murder.

Whips are simply brutal, they usually destroy bones on any limb they hit rendering it useless, a head shot with a whip will kill even megabeasts in one hit.

Any decent hit to the head will kill any living thing in one hit

In mid air, the dwarf continued to take hits from both the minecart and his own falling axe.

Mining picks are wonderful weapons. It also lets you devote points to something besides a weapon skill when making an adventurer.

I once had a very good experience with a masterwork adamantine giant axe blade, bisecting demons made of iron in one hit.
