Two things. 1) the three hits seemed odd. Before, one attack command was one attack. 2) Even without points in two handed I was still getting very good damage and the range on the character sheet was accurate.
So, either no points in a skill should have the three attack thing going for just a couple damage per hit, or the three attack thing is a bug in spite of having no points in two handed.
Edit: I tried going back to an earlier save with the axe to display where I saw single hits for good damage but I was unable to find one.
I did try to switch to a new two handed weapon in my inventory and the game crashed.
