I most certainly prefer blade over blunt, but i wouldn't say blunt is completely useless. In morrowind, blunt had one of the best wepons ever, Sunder. Anyways there seems to something special about blade wepons. Like with blade you can get little daggers and actually make it look like your a stealthy killer. Blunt just has maces and axes.
p.s. My umbra does 33
Bethesda makes the best games ever. The Elder Scrolls games rock harder then any other game ever. I like Heavy Metal and Death Metal. My favorite band is DevilDriver.
