LE Probably been done ...but why no claws?

[Lyrstille]

I looked it up and there seemed to be only a few, especially with the unarmed perk, which seems kind of...off..

So my request/idea is for clawed weapons and armor..more akin to ivy's gold gauntlet from soul calibur (also having her as a preset..breasts and all would be nice too ^.^, i mean it already seems pretty close, but you know, idiot proofing/e-z modeing would help).

Basically, on gauntlets, that have sectioned fingers, add blades to them (there have been numerous ones in anime that naming one would be irrellevant)...but I also had another idea.
And it's sorta dwemer-ish...it's actually a set of claws I wanted to make for a while.
(sorry there's no pictures, because it's an idea..and i'm a poor artist so bear with the description, and sorry for my vague-ness).

Picture a regular gauntlet, up to the forearms. sectioned to be 2 pieces, wrist to elbow cut in the middle (kinda like a subway sandwhich bun, laying your hand lengthwise in it). Now, that gauntlet (not the bun shape, regular gauntlet shape), has a blade out the elbow. Kinda like - http://img06.deviantart.net/0ea9/i/2005/067/b/b/xanix_arm_blades_by_nek0gami.jpg ..BUT

Have it be attached to a shaft, like a tonfa blade, and toggleable. So, The gauntlet would basically function like -> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Practicante_tonfas.JPG <- see how one is forward, and one is back? Without the little tip forward on the hand. While the blade is pointed backwards, so the hands are free. And when the blade/shaft is ratcheted forward the shaft is held in the hands (like his right hand) with the blade pointing forward. It would probably take a ton of work.. but would be amazing if it could work properly, flipping the blade forward and back..having the gauntlets open to slide the shaft back and forward (......can't describe it better...i know..I KNOW...i giggled a little ^.^) And, for when the blade is back, have clawed gauntlets (for unarmed fighting) and flip forwardable - less speed, more damage, and works off sword/one handed perks instead of unarmed. This way it could also be a dual purpose weapon. And, with the claws, you get the extra added blades when the fist is on the handle too for more stabby goodness ^.^ Also, could add an elbow back motion to stab behind you/add more range.

I would do a computer pic, but i'm horrible at modding/computer stuff (actually..attempting my first mod..and questions in a bit..spent the last day reading through a ton of mods), so i really hope that description is enough... And if this does go through please please lemme know, because who doesn't love knowing their idea got accepted ^.^

Before I forget - Ivy's claw a close up taken from the figure (NSFW by the by) https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/18j26kl3q0dhrjpg.jpg So you can see the sectioned detail.

With regards to clawed gauntlets, both vampire gauntlets and daedric gauntlets already have claws like that.

Googled unarmed..there's a few mods, power attacks (recent) the others (so far) haven't been updated since 2013. But it seems someone already had the idea, still I stand by my weapon idea, and the idea of dual weapons.

Another one, i forget which game I saw it, OOOH devil may cry, the sword of sparda sorta has it..a big curved blade, that when swung forward, it flips out like a scythe. (dual purpose, scythe and greatsword), offering different options for a favorite type..plus it was really big.

Whoops forgot to add, i edited it and -.-

Thanks for the info, i haven't made it to dawnguard yet (so vampire stuff sorta slipped my mind) as did daedric. To be honest I was more focused on the bigger weapons as opposed to the armor, but they don't add damage, or anything (aside from the perk right?).
