Yeah! Dragon Quest swords would be nice. Honestly, I'd love to generally see more DQ fans making mods for this game. How about Roto's sword from the first three games? That one had a pretty nice and classic look to it, from what I recall.
I'd highly recommend the Wearable Lanterns mod for your game since two of the three ways of holding the lanterns are hands free (clipped to the back or front of your right-side belt). It also has a super-cute Torchbug Lantern (little bug flying around in a bottle) variation and options you can turn on or off via the purchasable Manual of Lantern Care that make the lanterns consume lamp-oil or the bugs consume flower-pollen! http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17416#content
