Is it better roleplaying wise to use shortswords or blunt weapons (staves and maces only) with my mage? Is there more rare shortswords in the game or is there more blunt weapons?
thanx
Roleplaying wise?
There is actually quite an abundance of both in the game. If both are part of your major/minor skills, train in whatever you like, though you might want to go with blunt, especially if you're doing the mage guild quests.
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...
What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

It also depends on what attribute you prefer to develop. The blunt weapons give you the strenght and the short blades give the speed.
The strenght is important even to mages, IMHO. You have got a lot to carry, maybe even more than warrior, after all. There is even the Battlemage class in the game with Heavy Armor in the maj./min. skill list.
And i do not see the stright connection to roleplaying here. You're going to play a character, not a proffession, aren't you? There's the great difference between Morrowind and BG series in the fact that your skills, attributes and preferences aren't bound to your profession and race (save for initial attributes and skills at the very begining) with very rare racial exceptions (mostly for Khajit and Argonian). Altogether, the roleplaying is in the decisions one makes, and there's wide spectre of possible behavior in the game (in difference with Diablo i could never understand why it's ever claiming the RPG status)
Just MHO, though.
