LE Remake/remesh daedric armour and weapons (to something less absurd)

[SayinNuthin]

Sorry if this is going against the 'lore' but the whole Daedric 'look' is ridiculous. I get that it it meant to look bad-ass but sorry, it don't it just looks like some remnant from an 1980's anime show that was ditched after the first season due to massive lack of originality.

Upward shoulder spikes on the armour? Anyone who has ever trained, played or actually stood with a weapon in front of someone else with a weapon can tell you how bad an idea that would be. All armour, of any culture of any age or era is designed to deflect impact and blows - Not catch them in the spikes strapped to your exremities.

 

Now I know we have the whole Morrowind etc. stuff to take into account but I suggest that our tastes, our asthetics have changed since the nineteen eighties when the Daedric stuff was devised and it now looks like something from a 20 year old heavy metal music vid.

 

Shall we move on? There is practically no end to the wierd and bizzare weapons to take insperation from, Have a look at this;

Indian Temple sword or these monstrosities from ancient China;

And we've not even touched the African stuff that makes the Asians seem restrained! There is no shortage of REAL weapons to base a new Daedric asthetic upon.

 

Heartfelt plea, lets loose the dumb spikey crap
