I'd probably go with a dual-handed claymore, plus two japanese tantos for close quarter combat.
That is, unless I can have the nanosuit, of course.

Preferred Melee Weapon Choice?

I've got two just like it already, one like this one in black and another with just the plain steel. They're easy to maintain, easy to use and are pretty reliable. As long as it's weighted and balanced correctly I'll have no problem with it.
But if we're going fictional, then I'd like The Great Knife from Silent Hill 2. Not for actual combat, obviously, just because I'd love to have one on my wall or on one of those display stand thingies on my shelf. It's pretty much a machete, just bigger.
Goemon Ishikawa,s sword from Lupin the Third it looks like it can slice through anything or just a regular Wakizashi (short bladed Katana)
you werent very specific
Hmmm... depends on the game environment, I guess.
But, overall, I guess I'm just partial to axes. A nice big 2-hander for open spaces, and either dual-wield smaller versions or with a shield. (And don't forget my 'dwarven arrows'... gotta have a good supply of chuckers, as well.)
::Reminiscing about my old M&B:Warband Nord in full siege gear... 8 Balanced Heavy Throwing Axes, Huscarl Shield and a Heavy Great Long Axe for when I drop in behind enemy skirmish lines... and about my Dwarven 'Reaver' (Ftr/Rng/Rog) in DDO with his array of varied Dwarven Waraxes (assorted mixtures of elemental, racial, and other bonus damage effects) for dual-wielding and his Dwarven Thrower for at-range situations::

I'd take a bastard sword, half because its pretty big without being unwieldly, half because I think they look damn cool.
In real life? A simple, sturdy knife is probably by far the most practical for most people.
If I were expecting to be forced into some sort of armed fight (or living a fantasy life of wanton adventure where my death wouldn't be all-but-assured and people wouldn't just shoot me), I'd probably want a smallsword since it's the closest thing to something I've at least handled for a significant period of time (fencing).
In a game, I tend to like either unarmed, dagger, or one-handed swords (no board, but potentially dual-wielded). My videogame weapon tastes are pretty conventional I think.

Whelp, I was going to say a nice heavy hammer that gives a decent thud when it caves someone's skull in but dammit you guys have changed my mind!RaNDM G said:
SHOVELS ALL THE WAY!!
I'd probably have to go with a Claymore for mid range and a pair of katar daggers for close range.
I think a nice Schiavona [http://www.sword-buyers-guide.com/schiavona.html] would do the trick... or a Scottish basket claymore. Heavier and more versatile than a rapier, with good hand protection. Lacking that, any nice sturdy broadsword would to the job for me.
