Dissapointed with the lack of unique weapons : V

» Fri Dec 16, 2011 9:27 pm

For the most part I've found and read about the "unique" weapons in Skyrim, most are regular looking weapons with special name and magic ability. In prior TES games there were unique "looking" weapons that were worth collecting.

I could be wrong and if I am, please point me in the right direction.

ye same. most of those "unique weapons" are just the same model as normal weapons. for example. chillrend. (altough they did more work to that by changing it to blue!!!!!! wooot)

ANCIENT F**KING SHROUDED - lazy bethesda....hows it ancient if its excatly the same...
shouldnt it be at least oblivion's shrouded...god dam it..

I wish they would have done a better job on the overall design of the unique weapons. It's just a half hearted attempt at creating "extra" weapons as it is.

A mod will easily fix this, perhaps. I'd expect some mods will provide for probably 50 different possible suits of armor and 100 or more weapons.

Mods for the win.

Collecting the same 5 weapons over and over and over and over again got old reeeeaaaaal fast. Shame.

Why do mods have to do everything for us? Every time there's a problem or whatever, people say "Mods mods mods".

Try the Daedric quests.

There is quite a few unique weapons and apparel. The problem is that they are weak compared to stuff you can make yourself, even if you don't exploit the system.

I agree with the OP I want more artifacts to collect and I want them to be unique and special.

Don't like what a developer did to a game? MODS!

Got a problem with your microwave? MODS!

Girlfriend issues? MODS!

Tired of your grandmother hogging the television? MODS!

dunno... the Mace of Molag Bal doesn't look like any normal weapon... people even comment about it when you walk around town with it drawn... and if they don't shut up they're gonna get a mace in the knee

Try the Daedric quests.

i picked up every Daedric Artifact out there, result not that much Umbra was actually something any Sword/Shield would aspire in oblivion the one, one hand sword in Skyrim isen't expecially cuse of the gloom and the low stats in comparecy to Ebony/Daedric swords onlly bad thing is that they bouth look horrible IMO

That weapon is pretty much the best weapon in the game IMO. It eats Dragon Priests for lunch.

Dawnbreaker is also pretty unique.

Both weapons are gamebreakers for the most part. In fact, the unique effects of Dawnbreaker will allow you to beat certain bosses that might otherwise kill you without it.

I miss swords that look like swords!
What happend to beths art team? They used to have cool swords, but now there just awful.

I follow you, I do, but this is the way of the Rim.

Mods play an extremely large role in many Bethesda games.

OT: I actually like the "blandness" so to speak. Or kind of at least. I don't like when things get too "flashy", or "pew pew" or whatever. I like the gritty non-epic stuff, and usually end up wearing beggars' clothes. Did so in Oblivion, and already am in Skyrim.

Well they're not, they are both weak compared to quite a few 1h weapons.

What? No Umbra in Skyrim.

Agreed. It wouldn't have been hard to look up "Medieval swords" on Google, and then pick and make 3 or 4 different types for each material instead of just one generic type for each that looks like something out of a Manga show. Why, as a Smith, can you only make the same generic type that everyone else does? Does smiths not have any imagination? A few different templates, or even a mix and match of various hilt, pommel, crossguards and blade styles would've made a massive difference.

Yea, I was kind of disspointed in the lack of variety, especially with crafting. You should really be able to choose at least one other aesthetic for an armor/weapon set when crafting. I can deal with 99% of the loot I find being basic or generic, but the unique and craftable items should have some flair to them.

Love the Mace of Molag Bal! That was my favorite quest so far. So dark...

» Fri Dec 16, 2011 7:25 pm

I have to agree. The weapons I can forge and enchant are 10 times better than those I received from Daedric quests. There is nothing truly unique here. I remember Umbra from Oblivion. Now that was a sword, the best in game! Player made weapons beat out Daedric artifacts now... sad LOL

I agree IMO the game in general is lacking variety.
