LE Customize weapons and armor?

[ix09]

I apologize if this has been pitched before.

I'm harking back to Fallout with all the great weapons mods and customizations available.

 

Would the Skyrim engine support this?

 

Your sword grip might get worn over time, so, it'd seem sensible to replace the grip from time to time.

Some of those nifty weapons you've found might be cool and nice and all, but are they physically balanced for your character's fighting style?

Perhaps a different hand-guard?

Bling your pommel and hand guard with jewels or spooky "I take myself too seriously" skulls with glowey eyes or something?

 

I've seen some mods that add bows with sniper sights.

Wouldn't be nice if the sight alone could be crafted and added onto any particular bow?

Different types of catgut curing make for better bowstring?

Adjust the bow tension?

 

Is it possible to modular-ize the weapons such that a weapons modification crafting mod could work?

 

It's just a little lame when you go to upgrade a weapon from standard to legendary that all there is to it is clicky click click and suddenly the weapon is magically legendary for some reason even though it looks exactly the same.

 

The same goes for armor.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could paint different parts of your armor different colors, or the armor was more modular with separate paudrons, breastplate, upper arms, gauntlets, skirt, legs, and boots such that there was greater variety for bandits with unmatching armor sets as well as flexibility to mix things up for the player?
