Artifacts and Legendary Items

Post » Sun Oct 04, 2009 1:51 pm

What artifacts do you expect to see, or want to make a return in Skyrim.

I expect to see the return of the Dragon Bone Cuirass.

I hope acquiring the artifacts will be more of a challenge. Maybe a few could be acquired by a quest received from a daedric shrine (assuming they're in Skyrim), but I really would like to find them treasure hunting and dungeon diving like some of them in Morrowind. It would make exploring more fun knowing there is actually something worth looking for.

I really hope there are more artifacts to be found than those in Oblivion.

Definitley want this back it's not as exciting finding three claymore of sparks in the same dungeon as finding one ultra rare (Daedric) or unqiue weapon

i really want to see the return of the skeleton key because im not one to pick locks so that is perfect for me.
i also agree that the artifacts need to be more challenging to acquire.
on a side note with dungeon diving and cave dwelling, i hope they are more varied than in oblivion because in oblivion most caves looked the same.

If http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Ice_Blade_of_the_Monarch_(artifact) isn't in it.... :shakehead:

Umbra needs to be properly made a Claymore again, as well.

http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Fists_of_Randagulf need to show up too. It is Skyrim after all.

I think it's a long shot (unless they throw it in an expansion again), but my favorite weapon has always been the Fork of Horripilation! :goodjob: I'd love to see that back. Fear my mighty Nord warrior, slayer of dragons...with a BBQ fork!

I'm hoping for Dawnfang/Duskfang and probably Volendrung, although I rarely use Blunt Weapons.

I'd like to see the Masque of Clavicus Vile return.

I'd like more of a challenge obtaining legendary weapons and artifacts. Or, like Morrowind, just find them hidden in a cave or dungeon.

No, I'm talking about the items of Tamrielic Lore. Items like Umbra, Spear of Bitter Mercy, Daedric Crescent, Ebony Mail, etc.

Oblivion only had a handfull, and they we're only acquired from a daedric shrine quest.

I hope to find them all again. One of my favorite things to do was collect all these artifacts and display them in a special trophy room. And hopefully they will add new legendary nordic items as well :)

I only hope that when I find them, they will not be some levelled version. :shakehead:

Oh yeah, Skyrim would be a perfect place for The Ice Blade to return.

I hope they bring back some of the powerful items that were in Morrowind but not in Oblivion.

Umbra needs to come back, The Skeleton Key needs to come back and at least another 2 dozen Daedric Artifacts or Legendary Items.

THIS with a capital this! I want to be able to get every artifact Tamriel has ever seen. You know the book Tamrielic Lore? I want that... tripled...

Exactly! That's what made Morrowind so much fun for me is roaming Vvardenfell collecting the artifacts for my trophy room.

I agree completely about them not being leveled.

QFT!

Also: Does the Severed Nord Leg count as a legendary item? Because I REALLY want to see that make a comeback as well

Lol, I forgot about that. I can almost guarantee it will make an appearance as some sort of Easter Egg.

Oh, man, yes! It better!

Thor's hammer??

I believe that is what Volendrung is supposed to resemble...

I second the Ice Blade of the Monarch. Such a legendary sword, and so fitting. Among those, the Boots of Blinding Speed, Goldbrand, Trueflame/Hopefire (since it's a sequel?), Eleidon's ward, Daedric Face of Terror/God/Inspiration etc.

And come on, get creative! Make new stuff! What I couldn't stand in Oblivion the most was 1: Level scaling (addressed in another thread), and 2: Randomly generated garbage. I would prefer a smaller world with more uniqueness to it--stuff I would have to seek out or find by quest. Morrowind had far more unique items in it than Oblivion. In fact, after recently beating Morrowind, Tribunal, and Bloodmoon again--I would ask and hope for Bethesda to return The Elder Scrolls to the atmosphere and style of Morrowind. Don't take it easy your user base--don't simplify skills, and create the illusion of finding treasure--make it hard for us if you have to. We can tell when we're being scammed. A chest that randomly spawns glass shortswords et cetera over and over is dissatisfying.

I expect Falmer based artefacts due to the obvious extinction of their race by the nords.

Going through artifacts from Morrowind that Oblivion didn't get.

-Lord's Mail. Dissapointed it wasn't back in Oblivion since it is something to do with Morihaus who is in Cyrodiilic(sp) history. The Nord's like him too though.

-Boots of the Apostle if levitation is back - they're related to Talos.

-Fist's of Randagulf - they're Nordic.

-Dragonbone Cuirass - Dragons!


Chrysamere or Eleidons Ward are kinda generic, probably won't miss then. So is the Iceblade of the Monarch, but it suits Skyrim's theme. I'm sure the devs will come up with some fancy sword anyway.
