Slicevicious Posted Monday at 06:38 AM Share Posted Monday at 06:38 AM The Skull Crusher is an amazingly large, and powerful weapon. The Warhammer was created in a fire, magically fueled by the Wizard, Dorach Gusal, and was forged by the great weaponsmith, Hilbongard Rolamus. The steel is magically hardened and the weight of the weapon is amazingly light, which makes for more powerful swings and deadly blows. The Warhammer was to be put on display for a festival, but thieves got it first. The Skull Crusher still travels Tamriel in search of its creators. —Yagrum Bagarn, Tamrielic Lore In Morrowind, the Skull Crusher was a 1-handed hammer despite its size, all thanks to the whole "amazingly light" thing. They paired this with a Feather enchantment which, as we know, did not return in Skyrim. Granted, I know 15 is fairly light among good 2handed hammers in Skyrim, it just feels... Lackluster. This was one of my favorite weapons in Morrowind, it felt unique somehow. Stamina damage does not feel unique. Among my ideas, I can imagine re-achieving the uniqueness a few ways. Chief among them being to shorten the handle, shrink the whole thing just a smidge, and make it a comically large one-handed hammer. Reduce the weight a little more (or all the way, since its predecessor's Feather enchantment was equivalent to the hammer's weight) and changing the enchantment to a unique effect like faster swinging speed which cannot be dis-enchanted from the weapon. The whole point and flavor of this weapon was that it is capable of delivering staggering bone and armor crushing blows with tremendously little effort due to its weight and enormity and I just don't feel like the (INCREDIBLE) Ghosts of the Tribunal captured that as well as they did with the other incredible pieces. Whether it happens or not, thanks all for taking time to look. I'd do it myself but I have spent dozens of hours fruitlessly fumbling my way through tutorials and trial-and-error and I can't even get the basics down. Much love, everyone.
