Swords are the main fighting weapon because they are fast and you can move while you strike with them, axes/hammers are much much slower then swords and you get frozen to the spot when you hit with them. Daggers are nice because they are even faster then swords and have uses in PvE.

I really feel axes/hammers should get some perks to make them viable and good for fighting with, or at the very least given the same speed as swords have and allow you to move while you strike. Although there are other good alternatives that could be discussed, axes/hammers could be given extended range or a extra final damage multiplier at the end so that they deal double the final damage of swords or so.
