Enchant Skill

[Lord_Carson158]

Is the Enchant skill in Skyrim going to be the same as in Morrowind or have they improved it?

*Enchants are 20% stronger (ranked)
Enchanted armor 25% stronger
"Soul gems provide extra Magicka for recharging"
Death blows to creatures but not people trap souls for weapon recharge
Health, Magicka and stamina enchants stronger
Extra effect on already-enchanted weapon can be applied
Shock, Frost and Fire enchants 25% stronger (individual perks for each element)
Never played morrowind, but here it is.

Those are just the perks... But yeah, it's going to be mainly different due to those perks I believe.

Has it been confirmed that we will need a alter of enchanting?

[Lord_Carson158]

Thanks:) i didn't go much on the skill in Morrowind. As for the question about the alters now that the enchant skill is back i doubt they would have them in the game but we will find out soon.

I hope that the ugly glow that all the enchanted items in Morrowind and Oblivion had isn't present in Skyrim. How 'bout something new, like glowing runes somewhere in your weapon? Those can be seen, and they don't ruin the looks of the weapons as much as the glowing.

in one of the hands on reports, enchanted weapons are said to carry a constant indication of the spell it posesses ex. a sword with a fire enchantment will be on fire. cant remember which report though as there are soo many they all seem to blur together

Lol .. The glow in Morrowind was nice. I liked it and there wasn't even a glow on enchanted equipment in Oblivion, it would glow once when you equip it, then look like a regular (let's just say) Iron Longsword.

Not sure on this one .. I don't think there will be fire on your sword that is enchanted with fire. There would be too much on screen for the game to render if you're around high level characters; both your weapon and the enemies enchanted weapons/ armour with constant visual effects that appeal to us would probably cause something to go wrong (lag as an example). I could be wrong, but that's just what I think .. This isn't an MMO or dungeon crawler where the equipment is flashy and super beast looking with tons of visual effects. Not sure. If you can link me some sources on it, that'd be cool. (:

Yet, this was wasn’t just any sword. It was big, it was silver, it was two handed, and it was imbued with FIRE.

An answer to your question?

Here's the source, go to page 4

Funny, the only mod I ever used in Morrowind removed the weird, or as the mod called it, "plastic", effect. I take back what I said about Oblivion's magical glow though, it wasn't that bad.

Oh, by the way, I hope there's a way to remove enchantments.

Lol. :p That'd be cool if there was a way to remove an enchantment.

Will you still be able to do the old gander with the "Enchanting something beyond %100" effectively allowing you to become immortal/unseeable/unbeatable?

Lol, you mean like stacking enchantments ? I think they'd let you do that because it's really up to you what enchantments you want, and if you have a full set of Chameleon .. You'd be at a disadvantage for somethings since you don't have other enchantments .. That's how I see it at least.

There is, in fact that is one way of moving up your enchanting skill.
