"Takes a fair bit of strength to carry a greatsword like that. But can you use it?"
Hold Guard[src]

Greatswords are massive, two-handed swords found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. They deal more damage than their one-handed counterparts, but swing far slower, are much heavier, and leave the Dragonborn unable to use a shield.

Greatswords swing faster than either warhammers or battleaxes, but deal the least amount of damage of any other two-handed weapon.
