Reflecting Shield - WTF?

Recommended Posts

Did I miss something? :unsure: Not sure where this shield appears in game, but it seems to be fully implemented ... Uses the .dds files from the Glass Shield ...

This isn't exactly a spoiler, unless I just missed something in game, in which case when someone points out my stupidity, it WILL be a spoiler thread ...

I thought it would look good as a "Heavy/Hardened" Falmer Shield, to match the new "Heavy/Hardened" Falmer Armors. So I kind of "slimied" up the texture and used some transparency on the "glass" bits ... looks OK I guess.

if I'm correct, then that is Auriel's Shield. You can get it while doing your questing in a....forgotten....place :whistling:

 

Auriel's Shield, Skyrim Wiki

 

Nope ... Auriels Shield is listed separately and has it's own models, CK entries, and quest/placement in game ... Though this new shield seems to have a similar default enchantment (reflecting absorbed hits)

Looks like it may have been cut content (again!) from Bugthesda ... And we can't even blame 11/11/11 for this one ... :psyduck:

 

I just find it hard to believe that NO ONE else has mentioned this before !?! I would have thought with all the 1000's of modders ripping apart the game files, that someone would have brought it up before. o_O

 

Anyway ...

 

I've decided to create two new Items "Falmer Heavy Shield" using a retex of this thing (without the enchanment) and a "Falmer Heavy Sword" to go with it (using a retex of the nightingale blade) ...

In Dawnguard the "Heavy" variants of the Falmer Armour pieces have virtually identical stats to Daedric, so I'm making both these items the same (fractionally lower armour and weight on the shield and fractionally higher damage and crit. on the sword)

The shield itself has a looping flame animation going on

@vyrelis: Nope and nope ... Please, have a look in your DLC01 directories (if you've unpacked them) you'll find the shield in there SEPARATELY from Auriel's shield! and it's listed separately in CK as well, search for "reflecting" in the item list and you'll find it ... It uses a totally unique mesh which references the "Glass" shield texture sets ...

 

Anyway, I'm borrowing the mesh and putting it up as a Heavy Flamer variant to match the new armors ... Stay tuned.
