Moar spear models < Nord spear and Imperial Hasta The Nord spear is slightly longer and is made with darker wood and harder iron, with a different design to the Hasta. The Hasta has a thinner edge to it and is a bit faster.

I think you should do an oblivion and make it so that when you get better at archery there are no penalties for charging the shot for too long, but in lower levels it will go off target because your arms aren't used to the strain and can't maintain accuracy.

I'm thinking of the sheilds being sort of late roman empire oval scutum instead perhaps but either is good.... And i'll try and photoshop some unique imperial design for the fronts of said sheilds. Custom animation might allow it but i'm worried about clipping durin fancy moves, as the difference in tactics between largesheilds and the smaller sheilds in skyrim wouldn't really.. This mod is a bit... Huge. Personally I would add separate files to the nexus of individual features, as some wouldn't be to everyone's taste. But yeah spears.

Please share any models you've made on the thread Excellent points raised. Hopefully the aim of the game. Gonna need one heck of an ambitious coder. And it won't be a Nexus Mod Manager launch title cooked up in a few weeks.. it'll be something we'll continually update and perfect until we can release a stable version that sets itself appart. And not something that goes too over the top with it's content, Something professional that blends with the game seamlessly. If this'll work we'll need some people on board. It'll hopefully be a whole new tree. with 1 handed and 2 handed polearms, Focussing on weapon range and piercing. (except for some 2 handed polearms which will have some swinging) If anyone is a seasoned veteren or up and comming young modder, and or has connections to other modders with multiple skillsets, Do want.

Polearms in general are an extension of your own arms. They'd have to keep some distance between you and your enemy when it comes to implementing them. Not sure how that's done. Here's a few spear models I will be creating soon: Imperial Hasta: A pretty basic infantry spear. Used by patrols or guards and will be made just as common (if not more common) as the gladius. Reliable, about 2 meters long. Used in combination with a large sheild (Making fighting them fun. With large sheild coverage and a long pointy thing keeping you at bay) Imperial Verutum: Light throwing spear used by Imperial Velites- Lighter armour, faster, accessories such as scalf etc. (often accompanying patrols) (Probably hella hard to implement) You don't want one in your face. Imperial Spiculum Heavier throwing spear that won't go as far. 2 are carried by the most well equiped Imperial soldiers. ------------------- Iron/Nordic Spear: Used by some nords, usually in combination with a round wooden sheild. Nordic Throwing Axe: Just what it says on the tin.. -------------------- A couple of others Training pole/Walking stick: 2 handed stick that does fatigue damage more than health damage... for all you mysterious hooded characters. Adelaide: (See picture on first post) I'm torn with this one.. I want it to be hella meaty. but also useable with a sheild. If it was mount and blade that wouldn't be a problem. You could switch stances. Oh well. 2 handed it is. Probably involving some sort of quest. or treasure hunt. Nothing too horrible, but rewarding. You could get a Sheild, a Sword and a Lance, as well as some pimp, southern armour i'm drawing up the concept for. Daedric Lance/Spear: Similar in appearance to other daedric weapons.. Gnarled and pointy and not something you'd want to be impaled on. Glass Spear: Perhaps. Eastern Qiang: It's a sword onna stick... nuff said.

Nope the poly count isn't all that high. And reducing it without impairing the quality is easy to do.. most of the detail comming from bumpmaps

You want the Skyrim Mod Requests board mate. Unless you plan on being involved in said mod

Indeed. I'm swarming with ideas. What with my limited skillset and college work though I don't think I should be the "main dood" working on this and maybe just a moddeller, concept artist.. possibly animator and armourer for some sort of team

Indeed that's what I thought... Perhaps we could make an animation pack that looks good with both spears and default 2 hand/ 1 handed weapons, incorparating more lunging and back swiping along side implementing them as 1 handed and 2 handed weapons. I can't remember which mod in particular.. but there was one for oblivion where the spears could be specified as "spears" in-game and had separate animations... It was slow and not too great though. I'd want to either do Rusty Iron- Ebony or just normal-legendary spears of none specific material and add them to soldier inventories, vendors, locations etc.

"Where's the love for pointy sticks in video games nowdays?" - Jonathan Price on video games Hay all. I've been visiting the nexus modding sites for 2 years now and have really enjoyed modding games like fallout and oblivion. I feel it's time I made a contribution to the modding scene in SKYRIM. I'm a fairly good modeller and have recently started animation at my college. I have student versions of 3DS Max and Maya. At my college i'll be learning programming and UV mapping and everything and i'm pretty excited. I don't currently own Skyrim but will do by christmas. By which I'm hoping the creation kit is out. Until then. I'm a moddeller if you need me. If you want examples of my work.. just ask. I have skype if you want to PM me about that. < SPEARS!!! What I want to inquire about is the ambitious idea of implementing spears into skyrim. Spears have always been my favourite weapon. They keep people at a distance and you can prod them before they prod you. Whenever I draw regal characters I don't give them a sword I give them a big old ornate spear. And the Idea of taking down a dragon with a spear makes me very happy. I need an expert oppinion from somebody who is playing Skyrim...is this feasable? If so.. need help making a list of jobs. Like.. UV mapper, Coder, Animator etc. I'm hoping some tallented modders will get onboard with this through mutual love of spears. On the subject of spears... Crossbows and thrown weapons.. just putting it out there. I've only made simple personal use .esps really before or edited textures with photoshop, so pardon my ignorance... if i'm at all ignorant.
