The Elder Scrolls V Discussion

[Vivec's Tears]

There are various Mannequin mods for TESIV: Oblivion. They add mannequins that you can equip with your own (custom) armor and weapons.

Hopefully Bethesda will add mannequins/armor stands to (one of) the player owned house(s) in TESV.

Just noticed that today, watching this video.

Know what else I'd like to see? TESV will read your saves from TESIV and you
can choose to start off with the the offspring of your TESIV character and allow
you to choose an item or two for your parent save to pass onto your offspring
save. Or at least some kind of thing like that. It'll also take into account the
factions joined, placement in the factions, fame/infamy, etc. Just an idear.

Well i would really like necromancy, better voice acting, Keyring, Mounted combat would be tricky, but cool, things to do with Yarn,Cloth,Pelts ext. some more unique weapons would be nice.

[Kestral]

Hmm...
I think Bethesda should use something like the weapons crafting system from Rune Factory in which it's essentially... WITH WEAPONS!

So, they should add mines like iron mines or glass mines or ebony mines (or traders to get materials) and smelters to melt them down into usable material. So if I want a Daedric weapon I'd have to soul trap a Daedra (Dremora?) and infuse it with heavily smelted ebony ore to make a daedric weapon.

Perhaps I want something different too, though.

And more non-standard weapons!

I'd also like a long main-quest like Daggerfall with many turn outs like Daggerfall and Fallout 3. I'd also like reputation back.

Also, crossbows. Spears. Different types of hammers, short swords, and long swords. I want more skills and not just 'Blade' and 'Blunt.'

After reading through the thread i have decided one thing, i dont care wat they do to the game as long as they add facial hair.

Yes indeed. I think a more Sims-like customizer would be nice.

[Jpot]

I agree that a dynamic world would be great, but only in some ways. For example, if you kill off the entire town except for one person, they wouldn't go about their standard routine. Also, special festivals, events on holidays, etc would be very cool. Also: make certain Bandit factions joinable. You could live in the bandits' cave/camp/fort/ruin with them, and raid travelers on the road. Of course, this would also require more NPCs to travel on roads.

[Kestral]

In the days of Daggerfall and Arena the date was a large thing. Festivals all around, and sometimes not all-around but in general areas.

I was thinking that we should extend beyond "Dagger, Shortsword, Longsword, Claymore" and into a more balanced system where there are multiple blades of similar length. for example, a Falx and a Gladius are of similar size, but have very different uses. whereas a Falx is a curved-bladed sword made for reaching around shields and puncturing armor, but isn't suited for parrying and a gladius is a heavy but easily handled blade that isn't great at any one thing but is okay at many

[The Most Unholy]

Actually, the Gladius is possibly the greatest stabbing weapon ever made. It was designed for this, and does this exceptionally well.

[Agares]

this is of course failing to mention the stiletto, epee, and Pata?

[The Most Unholy]

Those aren't designed so much for stabbing as lunging. There is a difference.

Edit: Except the stiletto, which was designed for stabbing, but isn't the most effective thing ever in the weapons role.

I agree. The Elder Scrolls could use some more stabbing implements...

It has daggers, but apparently everyone in Cyrodiil is stupid and thinks you swing them at someone's face.

(Helpful hint: you don't)

[Agares]

you my friend have taste, we should put together a compendium like list of weapons that would be useful in TES:# games. if yoou want PM me your ideas and i'll pm you mine back added to your weapons list!

[Mattbott]

i like the kukri

[PineconeKing]

Basically, what weapons do you think should be in he new ESV? Give me suggestions, i'll add 'em to the list. They also have to be elderscrolls-ey, so no wristblades

Longsword
Swortsword
Gladius
Dagger
Rapier
Epee
Boar Spear
Pike
Broadsword
Halberd
Bardiche
Great Axe
Hand Axe
Throwing Axe
Throwing Dagger

[r]

All the ones that were taken out of Oblivion, like spears, crossbows and self-propelled weapons. I briefly thought that pikes could be a good laugh, but would be a bit cumbersome to carry around.

[Sonixboom]

i want katanas and tantos brought back as well as the rapier and the crossbow and the shurikans

those were great weapons in morrowind

I'd be interested in seeing some H2H weapons like claws/metal knuckles. It would be even better if they set it up so that your gauntlets affect H2H damage as well.

More steath oriented weapons. Something like a stiletto that has crap damage in combat, but devestating sneak attacks.

While they aren't really weapons, a greater variety of shields would be welcome as well. I'd like to see more than the generic round shield we have now, and give them variable effectiveness. Small shields should be quick to counter with and allow greater mobility, while heavy shields provide much greater protection (crouch behind some for full body coverage), but at the cost of speed and manuverability.

Naginatas, 'nough said.

Staves (as actual weapons), maces, real warhammers, and mauls (which are just called warhammers atm). Might is well throw in a Bec de Corbin and give us a polearm hammer as well.

Throw falchions and any of a variety of scimitar designs in as well. We don't really have anything resembling the first, and the middle east is woefully under-represented in these games.

I might come up with more later when my brain kicks starts working for the morning...

real warhammers, and mauls (which are just called warhammers atm)

What's the difference? Do real warhammers have a claw for removing nails from wood?

"Real" my be the wrong term, perhaps "standard" would have been more appropriate? Anyway, I mean single handed weapons as opposed to the massive two-handers he have now.

[Vivec's Tears]

Hmm, shouldn't this technically be in the Elder Scrolls V discussion?

I would like to see all of the normal weapons, plus a feature to be able to use anything as a weapon with appropriate damage. Fear the Nerevarine with a frying pan!

[PineconeKing]

This IS the elder scrolls V discussion!

[Vivec's Tears]

Well it wasn't before
