Cool Swords : V

» Sun Jul 10, 2011 4:52 pm

One of the things I really want to see in Skyrim is cool-looking weapons. Remember Dawnfang, from the Shivering Isles? Of course you do, it might've not been all that great, but it was just plain awesome looking. Some may disagree, like a friend I used to have, but some agree, and that's what counts.

Discuss cool-looking weapons in Skyrim below, if ya want to.

Warhammers will probably be in, as most tes games...

I'm talking about UNIQUE, cool ones.

Didn't like the look of Dawnfang at all.

I'm sure there will be a good amount of great looking unique weapons though.

Dawnfang/Duskfang, awesome sword. Umbra, damn awesome sword. The Madness Ore Longsword and Claymore, fricken awesome.

Yeah give us some unique looking longblades with some serious enchantments in Skyrim, hopefully the vanilla swords will look awesome also

He ate him. Only rational course of action there.

Anyhow, cool swords. Well, as we've seen, steel and elvenglass swords, while far from unique, are already cool-looking and stylized. I can only imagine what legendary items, even recurring ones like goldbrand or Ice Blade of the Monarch (which, I mean, c'mon, it should totally make a comeback what with the whole snowy theme they got going) will look like.

And even unique non-legendary items would be nice, and I'd like for them to have a style all their own.

I'll admit Dawnfang/Duskfang looked pretty cool, although I think it would have looked better if it was a claymore. Personally though, I'd like a larger variety of unique blunt weapons.
That being said, I think every weapon we've seen so far looks awesome in itself. It bodes well for unique weapons.

Edit: Thought of a unique longsword that I loved from Oblivion, the Dragonsword of Lainlyn.

Realistic looking swords are cool swords.

Yes, we aren't friends anymore. Lol

OP :"I think Dawnfang is the best weapon ever."

Friend: "I disagree, Dawnfang is a very good weapon, but Shadowrend is better."

OP: "SHADOWREND svckS"

Friend: "You know what, YOU svck!"

Pretty much this. Too much exotic items become boring faster, as far as i′m concern

» Sun Jul 10, 2011 1:38 pm

yeah i hated the way the dawnfang looked. I prefer the 'plain' look, such as the steel or iron weapons. The best looking weapons imo were the silver longgswords, and the elven shortswords.

» Sun Jul 10, 2011 1:13 pm

as ong as theres alot of artifacts hidden around that arent tied to daedra like practically all the unique weapons in obliv, ill be happy

lolwut? No, I love Shadowrend. WAY better than Dawnfang. It's just that Dawnfang is really cool-lookin'(in my opinion).

My thoughts exactly.

For unique weapons, I'd like engraved, high-quality versions of a base weapon (like Fallout) and the really unique weapons that are completely different weapon from any other in the game.

I too would prefer mostly realistic weaponry, but a few stand-out fantastical blades would go a long way towards making the player character feel unique and set apart/above the rest. Not too many, and not the most powerful -- but powerful enough that a high level character can make the stylistic choice.

I hated dawnfang's look. It was really anime-ish. :swear:

» Mon Jul 11, 2011 12:23 am

I want an Ebony Akaviri Katana with a white koshirae. To add, I want to forge this weapon.

Dawnfang was ugly as sin imo. I prefer more realistic looking weapons, like the fine steel weapons or just swords that stand out but are still simpler like chillrend or debaser. I can't wait to see what kinds of new nordic style weapons we get.
