Masterwind is a complete balance overhaul which allows new and old players to experience The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind the way it should have been with smooth leveling, engaging combat, improved class development, and exciting enemy battles while maintaining the original Morrowind experience.
Each weapon type has unique properties and will feel significantly different depending on which you choose. Simple deferences like a shortbow to a longbow will be significant as shortbow's are quick for rapid fire and longbow's are slow for power shots.
All weapons in morrowind have range which originally was barely used as a short dagger and a two handed weapon has the same attack range of 1. Now daggers have a significantly shorter attack range but higher speed and have been balanced so that visually the weapon comes into contact with the opponent. Long range weapons such as the spear can hit the target at a greater distance than any other weapon but do come at a cost of damage dealt and speed.
