i hated the fact that in Oblivion you wouldnt use things like brooms, troules, sythes and other farming or mining or blacksmith tools as weapons. Im sure if you attacked a farm then the farmer would uses the tool in real life rather than drop it and use fists. Sythes were also used as weapons by the Druids in ancient britain when the romans landed so its really not that far fetched. What does everybody else think?

dude if sythes were a weapon I would use that instead of a sword

Using hoes and rakes and whatnot would be interesting weapons, and it would add to the immersion. I don't think scythes should be useable weapons, I think they should save that for making an awesome daedric artifact that's a scythe. :toughninja:

I suppose your right in the fact that farmers would not really use fists in a fight if they had access to a scythe or other sharp farming tool. But I really dont see a point to having our character being able to use it as a weapon, because think about it how much damage can be inflicted on a dragon or other tough enemy wearing armor when alls your using in a little scythe or broom.

i think most of you are underestimating the sythe, if sharpened correctly they can cut through someone as easly as a sword can, and there could also be diffrent kind of sythes, hand held one, which would be like a short sword, or the big ones like you see in Dantes inferno, or like you see death carrying around, they could be your two handed sythe.

If i could use scythe i would put on black robes and call my character Death.

While killing Alduin with a spoon would be cool, it's too much work for not enough fun.

i want a meat cleaver as a weapon.

and i want a wooden ladle as a weapon :toughninja: <--- my soon to be ladle nunchucks

I think Skyrim should have them. However, where does it stop before getting ridiculous? Aye to a war scythe and I can see the use in violence for a stool, flask or even a mug or mead horn in a tavern, but trying to spoon someone to death should not work. xD

grummite cleaver, second along.

It was Dragonborn in the Billiards room with the candlestick

lol all this spoon talk has made me lol. and only sensible thing would be included, a bloom would be sensible as its lond and can hit from a distance or a knive could be used like a dagger, but would you really attack a robber with a spoon?

Depends on how high my spoon skill is.

Grummite weapons are the coolest in the game.

indeed those ugly little amphibians know how to make some damn fine weapons especcially that cleaver the grummite shields also pretty nice and light to

Ever heard of Malefic Maud and her band of old ladies? Running around Freeside and killing people with their rolling pins? It's a household item, I don't see this being a problem and it's definitely not far-fetched.

spears....


farming forks

Yes. I've always wanted to beat down a guard with a dirty hoe. :hubbahubba:

This made me laugh, I can picture my Nord character now hacking away at Alduin with a spoon! :toughninja:

actually, you could use some farming tools as weapons in oblivion... unfortunately, it was only two and they were added through the mehrunes' razor DLC...

the heavy rake and rockpick hoe, i think they were called?

...actually, you know what... looking at UESP wiki's page for it... er, there was apparently a plain "hoe" weapon, too... and from what it says, it had a 4% chance of giving you the disease "ticklebritch".

dunno if thats true, but if it is... i think bethesda felt like adding a dirty joke in with mehrunes' razor.

back on topic, now... i would love to be able to use normal items as weapons, such as scythes, pitchforks, etc... it'd be pretty funny using a broom to fight dragons! :tongue:

maybe people should send tweets to pete about that, maybe he could pass it along that the players wanna be able to use non-weapons as weapons. :nod:

No it's true I got tricklebritch from a hoe it was horrible it was a fort night before I got to the chapel and got rid of it man I one how im going to explain THAT one to the gods

I think it would be a really cool idea if you could use any thing you pick up to beat on some one or throw at them. It shouldn't be as strong as a real weapon but it could hurt them just a little bit.

Would like to see a gameplay video of a nord in heavy armor beating up a mudcrab with a spoon or broom! :goodjob:

It would be especially cool if your weapons could wear down and break too. So you whollop some guard over the head with a broomstick and you can see it shatter. Or watch the Dremora laugh hysterically as the tines of your fork mash uselessly against daedric plate.
