New Ores and Materials of Skyrim

not really new, but id like to see mithril as a more important armour then it was in oblivion.
has anyone read LoTR? it was an almost impenetrable material, Frodo was stabed in the gut by a cave troll and survived


Yes, that's in LORD OF THE RINGS, not The Elder Scrolls. In TES, including Arena and Daggerfall and Oblivion, it's not impenetrable and invincible, just some high-quality light armor. Lore in one fantasy series =/= lore in the next. Otherwise TESVI will be about destroying a ring in a volcano.


Yeah we just have to have that material back, would fit perfectly!

@ Sentakai: I totally feel you, mithril should be better than it was in Oblivion, or atleast very very durable, more durable than deadric armor was and yet equal to protection as glass armor, lighter than elven armor :)


I agree with Stalhrim armor and weapons but vastly disagree about Mithril. Instead of having it the way you say, can we just have Fallout Power Armor? More durable than daedric, equal to the best light armor but lighter than the second best? That's insanely overpowered, bro.

How does bronze stand in Elder Scrolls lore? Is dwemer armor and weaponry supposed to mimic bronze? If not, that could be a (new?) material in Skyrim.

Dwemer brass is supposed to be the solidified souls of Dwemer (or was it only the Numidium that was that?) if it isn't it's something similar. And generally bronze isn't used much after the discovery of iron which there is plenty of in the empire.

My guess is some old and rusted metal...

Dwemer is its own unspecified material which in every game rates as being better than both iron and steel at minimum.

Bronze is made obsolete by iron- so I don't think Dwemer and bronze are related in any way other than "Bronze is archaic museum garbage long before Dwemer enters the picture." ;)
