Some tieflings, for example, can "wield an oversized weapons without penalty".
Here is a question: can my character use a large two-handed weapon in two hands, or only one-handed in two hands?
Somwhere in this forum I saw posts about a possibility of using huge, or even colossal weapons, and the only restriction is a penalty and GM's word. But where can I find such rules?
Thanks!
In general, only a large one handed weapon in two hands.
You need a special ability (Titan Mauler or Titan Fighter) to wield a large greatsword (as a medium character).
Titan Mauler can not, they totally broke it :(
There has been a very recent errata that allows it. Link
The related FAQ is outdated and no longer applies.

The Tiefling ability is worded exactly the same as the Red Cap (a small fey that wields a medium-sized Scythe) and another monster (Giant or Titan, I can't recall) that also wields two-handed weapons larger than their size.
Pay no attention to the Titan Mauler. Tieflings with that ability can wield large-sized Greatswords (for example) just fine.
But can tiefling titan mauler, for example, wield a huge weapon wiyh -4 penalty? Or titan fighter (-2 penalty). And what penalty would it be?
If you have the tiefling ability to wield large weapons, you take no penalty. If your DM allows that, go with that.
Normally a titan mauler can wield a large greatsword at a -4 penalty that stacks with the inappropriately sized weapon penalty of -2 for a total of -6, but the same ability starts taking away the debuff by 1 for every 3 levels (capping out at no penalty at level 18).
Titan fighter is strictly better, wielding a large greatsword with a -2 penalty that stacks with the inappropriately sized weapon penalty of -2 for a total of -4, while their later class ability lowers this penalty at level 3 and every 4 levels afterwards, going to no penalty at level 15.
It's OK with one-handed weapon in two hands, but what about stackig of tiefling ability and titan fighter's ability?

There are no black and white rules for that. Ask your GM.

Does the Tiefling ability actually mention Two Handed Weapons, or just Weapons?
A post earlier said it is the same as Titan Fighter though I doubt the wording is the same between the two.
If it is only a larger weapon, then the large One Handed weapon is the biggest.
If you do go into Titan Mauler/Titan fighter, then the penalty will apply for their abilities to wield large Two Handed weapons, but the normal penalty is still not taken because of the teifling ability. (so -2 for the Titan Fighter at lower levels)
I have been on several threads that tries to skirt the rules to have characters wield large Two Handed weapons, and one particular where a character is trying to wield two of them at the same time. Typically, with the exception of (errated) Titan Mauler and Titan Fighter, the character can not do it.
