Staves, throwing axes, crossbows and long bows.

Less overpowered artifacs, enchantments as in Morrowind (not only on strike) and, as again in MW, more randomness about weapons, not just all weapons in all materials. More marksman weapons, like slings, crossbows, etc. etc...

Yes and yes.

I always pick the most effective one handed weapon I can find and the best long bow. I understand that variety is the spice of life and the journey is the thing not the destination so I guess I need to change my vote to from no to yes.

I want a dwemer secret weapon that can switch from mace to sword to spear etc. Just kidding but... hehe would be so nice.

I think you actually read my mind, verbatim... Nice.

1 Handed hammers is a must! as my character im picturing is a beardy thor like character lol and he needs his hammer in 1 hand

True, that could be awesome.

Glass weapons should come back to lighter encumbrance, cause in tes4 one nonsense was the fact they were heavier than iron, steel and dwemer steel...

I said that too. But people took some of the jokes too serious so I removed it. . .


Also what are you talking about some gold? Look at that &%*(ing gold mine over there! lol *points at stack of chainsaw basooka's.* A man can dream. . .

Almost didn't want to reply to this troll post.

One, I have been playing and making suggestions for this game for 10 years and have played from daggerfall to now. I was one of the people you have responsible for the "hardcoe switch", thermite mission from nv, and several other suggestions that went in or didn't due to time delay. Two, every single suggestion i made I researched throughly. All the weapons are based off some that were in the game, or are from the time period it's based off of. I looked at how the game didn't have enough variation and unrealistic that long range weapons are not used often to take down swordsmen and knights. Three, you need to calm down, take five and come back with constructive criticism like the other guy who replied to you. Just read some of the crap you said, imagine someone said that to you?

Thank you for your interest, and remember to be more civil and to treat others the way you would like to be treated, young one.

A lot of these can be easily implemented since they shared similar animation and combat style, just different models and textures. For example, picks and one-handed hammer pretty much are variations of mace. Even if BGS didn't, modders can easily add them in (assuming polearm is confirmed).

BTW,
polearm = the superset of spear, poleaxe, etc
staves = the plural form of staff
javelin = a throwing spear

Hand to hand weaponry please.

options = win

If I had the option to shoot with a bow from horseback, I'd need nothing more.

Hand to hand weapons would be cool, and crossbows.

I've never been a fan of spears and halberds. But that's just me.

I always wanted a morningstar (the chain version) with physics applied. I guess that won't happen though. :confused:

I voted no because we already have a huge ammount of weapon types in TES already.

I always love when some people write things such as "(please post to help the devs)". I just imagine the devs browsing through the forums, reading things like "OMGWTF WE NEEDZ MAUR WEAPONZ!!!" and then saying to each other "Yeah guys! We do! Crossbows and spears, why haven't we thought of this before...? It's genius!" :clap:

And no, Skyrim don't NEED more weapons. It'd be nice if they could implement spears and crossbows, etc. But only if they can do it in a good way, if not, I'd rather be without them. Besides, we don't know exactly what types and variations of weapons that will be in the game.

Not really, just lots of aesthetic variations of a set of weapons, some of which are hugely irrational purely for the sake of regulation. I'm primarily referring to the iron/steel/glass/ebony/daedric bows. Who the **** makes a bow out of iron? Seriously, there's dozens of medieval era bow types made of various materials (wood and bone, mostly) to all sorts of quality levels, all viable to implementation but no, iron bows! And **** it, make em out of glass too!

Crossbows, preferably Chinese version. Chinese made a semi-automatic crossbow complete with magazines back in at least 400 BC (or maybe older, I forgot but definitely in BC). It just shows it can be done with medieval technology (and I'm not even sure BC age counts as medieval)

Spears? I dunno. But Yes for Poleaxe. thrusting and swinging in one. Preferably Halberd. I like the sound of "Halberdier"

Staves: What? Oblivion has so many staves. All of them are generic (except I guess 3: that rose staff, sheogorath's staff, and incomplete staff, and is there a staff from farwil quest?) yes, but they're there, so I dunno what you mean

Mage staves: All staves in OB are enchanted, and can shoot a fireball or something from its end

Longbow: doesn't seem THAT different up-close, so I think no. Unless the range is different fro standard, short, and long bow, but then again it's not practical (3 versions for one shape?)

Throwing weapons: I dunno. throwing axe might be fun (and barbaric) but javelins? And throwing spears? I don't like them personally

Siege Engine: What the? You can't "use" a siege engine, you 'drive" it. And what for anyway? You have Thu'um to handle breaking gates, just like the old times in Skyrim

Flails: No. No arguments from me but no

I think that what we have is fine and give all the veriety that I want. I do not need things like Picks and diquerms and Poleaxes being seperate skills.
I want the ones that seems to be in and have them done well.

Lets all say it at the same time.. 1.. 2.. 3.. Hand to hand weaponry!!

I'm all for more diversity in weaponry.

Mostly I want to see the attributes change a great deal. Weapons need to deal more damage, but the damage variance between weapon types should be smaller. Iron and Daedric weapons shouldn't be much different in the damage they deal, but the Daedric should be lighter, more resistant to damage, more expensive to repair, and far more capable of being enchanted.

An Iron Warhammer should also deal more damage than a Daedric longsword, except for potential enchantment.

Actually the weapons skills in the game should be divided like this as bare minimum:
One haded blade
Two handed blade
Polearm
One handed blunt
Two handed blunt
Dagger
Xbow
Bow
Thrown weapons
Unarmed.

But if you are more purist it shiuld be divided as:
Unarmed
Weapon name
Throw weapon (name)

This way you could thrown any weapon for damage (except bow and Xbow) but you get disarmed no matter what (better have a backup weapon).
Each weapon would have its characteristic (blunt smashes bones give more damge throught armor(Hit point) damage ennemy armor (armor degradation), bladed give slashing damage, bleeding, piercing, but having less inertia give less damage throught armor), 2 handed weapon deal more damage but are slower and require more strenght and tire more, small weapon give less damage but can be fasty swinged and leave the bearer freer to move out (dodge) and tire less
Weapon skill would give similarity skills to other weapon EX: 10 point in 1 handed long sword give 5 point to 1 handed broad sword (assuming there both, or Katana) 6 point to short sword, 4 points for bastard sword, and 2 point to 2 handed, hand so on.
All skill are vice versa in giving knowledge.

This is easy to implement as this ar simple excell speadsheets developers are more than used too.

The more you are skilled with a weaon the more you deliver, bleeding wouds % increase, time of bleeding too, crippling blows % increase, bone break % armor degradation increase so after some blow armor protect less etc.

For such Material VS material table is paramount as with armor/weapon degradation.

Armor skill should be here too, like the more you know about armor, the less it hampers your movement (combat, day to day use, agility strenght ETC.) For example a heavyer armor protect more, but it hamper your movement at the beginning, slow you down, etc but in compensation your athletic and stamina grow faster at the beginning until they raise a plateau (when you feel confortable in the armor) you should have an agility increse if you dont want to give penalties.
To avoid aror switch penalties are given when you switch armors until you adapt. (balance not the same, reaction not the same)

All those are simple excell sheets, the right and correct way to implement things in a RPG, which have been done in many sistems and work right, but i dont expect it will be done since bethesda has gone the easy mindless diablo/Castlevania (action game) way with perks at lvl up. Probably to catter the "i win button" addicted audience , which IMO is sad.

That's what we need, 9 weapon skills, several playing almost identical.

More skills does not always translate to a better game.
