Sword of Shiv is Star Wars rip off...

Post » Tue Dec 13, 2011 12:32 am

Is anyone else disappointed that the sword of Shiv is basically a Lightsabre?

Apart from the hilt the blade of blue, see thru glowing light is ripped out of Star Wars.

When I got it last night I was like whoah and then felt a bit disapointed that they would introduce elements of scifi.

It kind of breaks the fantasy for me.

Just saying.

Does it make whummm whummm noises? Does it slice through enemies instead of doing damage?

Is the only comparison that it 'glows blue'? I don't know, but my first impression is that the comparison is tenuous.

Easter egg?

Science fiction and fantasy are essentially one another...? They go hand in hand. there's very little difference between them. to an extent, TES could be said to have elements of steampunk scifi

Easter egg.

Apparently some don't appreciate easter eggs. Strange. Those are the best.

What, why would anyone be disappointed about this? I think it's awesome!

It's a pretty cool easter egg, and technically, it's just a magic sword. Sooo, go hug yourself.

I aint no Jedi Knight.

Equip it in the right hand and sparks spell in the left hand, then put on the robes you gain when you join the College of Winterhold and you are a jedi.

Wait... It's called the Sword of SHIV?

This is NOT a Star Wars reference, then. Well, maybe partly.

Is it a Scimitar looking sword? Because if it is, it's a reference to the Sword of Shiva. An Indian (like from India) goddess with 4 arms and had a magical sword of light.

No its a clear blue tube of light. Hence.... it looks like a lightsabre.

If it looked like a scimitar, the title of this topic would not make sense.

Well, then I guess it's a little bit of a reference to both.

Where do you get it? I looked up "Sword of Shiv" on every Skyrim resource site out there and didn't get a hit.
