Is the player deal less damage?

[god666]

I have this situation: My character use a Greatsword (2handed) and a heavy lance (crouched). In tournament, my lance never deal more than 80 damage (crouched) and my greatsword using a overhead attack deal about 25 damage agains enemy using helms. The enemies normaly deal about 30-60 damage using one-handed. Im using the Briene armor and my power strike is 5.

Proficiency: 100-110

My question is: Is that normal or is it a bug? I do not check the Insane mode.

Tournaments have 2 mods. One hard and one easier. I think the player damage is reduced in hardmode. You can change this in the tournaments options. The downside for the easier mode is you can not bet the same high amounts of money.
