Staff of Imbalance (small spoiler)

After completing the MG quests they make you a staff. The Staff of Paralyzation is almost unfair, don't you guys think? 8 seconds paralyzation makes the game almost too easy. Just wondering what you guys thought...

Any melee weapon that uses paralysis is cheese of the smelliest order, in my opinion, but remember: some of your opponents have natural abilities that include paralysis, too. So my concerns are limited to when you get the item with the spell, not that you should get it, at all. In MW, you could acquire paralysis spells right away and, given sufficient drakes, have a nice weapon enchanted with it by midgame. In Oblivion, it seems that the developers have created an item that uses it, undercutting their own wish to limit paralysis casting to high level Illusion types.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
