The sword between redguard and morrowind, where is it from? I havn't seen that before and the graphics looks somewhat like MW, but as far as I can remember that sword was not in MW.
This might be a stupid question but it has been bugging me for long now

I don't recall ever seeing in MW, either.
Isn't it from the cover of the redguard game?

Looks like a rapier. My guess is it's from redguard.

you mean the one on the right or the one being held by the woman with wings, if its the woman then it looks like a daedric cresent

Edit: oh sorry you did mean the one on the right

i believe its http://www.imperial-library.info/gallery/rg_cyrusother.jpg

It's a http://www.antiquefirearms.com/images/edge/hussardsword2.jpg, if I'm not mistaken.

This is a http://www.darksword-armory.com/images/1300_blade.jpg.

In the game it is actually a fully straight bladed saber that is used in the game as if it were a rapier.

Difficult to believe, as a rapier is VERY flexible, and its ability to flex and bend while in use is what determines the ways it is used, and what makes it different from more rigid sword designs.

A saber, by contrast, is indeed light and agile, but NOT springy-flexible like a Rapier. Thus, you simply cannot use a saber in the same ways you can a rapier. He may fence with his saber, but his moves will be more limited. Its increased rigidity will make the saber cut deeper, but a rapier can bend around a blocking move, and other nifty tricks which the saber cannot do.

I need to play Redguard. Too bad it's impossible to find.
Wait! I found a place in sweden that can send it to me. Great

I never said it was a good idea. This game was made by Bethesda, remember?

Woot? A store? Nice.. I found it from a random dude some years ago.

What makes it different is the fact that it's a very long sword used primarily for thrusting. And it couldn't be "VERY" flexible because it had to be strong enough to give a solid thrust and parry in turn. Your description makes me think of a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabre_%28fencing%29#The_weapon of some kind, as most professional fencing weapons tend to be flexy. (See the passage about strength http://www.thearma.org/Youth/rapieroutline.htm for more information. Also see opening description of a rapier as "rigid".)

Cyrus uses a sabre and both thrusts and swings like a bastard (depending how you play him). I'm not completely sure about sabres, but the term itself seems quite nebulous, and it could refer both to a straight thrusting sword, as indicated by modern fencing sabres, or slashing sword, as befits their historical use by cavalry. And in fencing, a sabre can be used to score with its edge, as opposed to the foil or epee. Ergo, Cyrus uses a sabre like a sabre.

But if you want a really bendy sword, I'd love for the Indian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urumi, a sword flexible enough to to be used as a belt, to be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzxtpg9HKbU by the Redguards, since it's both cool and relatively unknown to the west.

Yeah, gameshop.se I think, swedish website. But they say that they can send it to other countries too.

No need to I'm swedish as well. Living in Borl?nge for the moment.
