Daedric Weapons aren't that good even in Vanilla. You can easily temper a Steel weapon to be superior to a Daedric one. The only reason Daedric weapons are seen to be "good" is because it has the highest base damage in the Vanilla game. Also it depends on the stats your character has. If a character specializes in One Handed weapons, like Vahl was, they don't have the perk that makes it so Daedric Weapons are tempered better than the forge, you can easily outdamage a Daedric Warhammer with some lower tear weapon like an Elven Sword. That said, there are modded weapons that have a higher damage output than Daedric Weapons and armor that have more of an AR compared to Daedric Armors. Skyrim is all about personal preference in that regard.
