Weapon/Armour mods you want.

[Vindekarr]

Me, I'd like a Dacian Falx, and some traditional Japanese weaponry.

 

Falx. A truly ancient and truly viscious weapon the Falx is a behemoth of a blade. At nearly seven feet long, the Falx consists of a solid quaterstaff, at one end holding a forward-curved, talonlike scythe blade, with a razor-sharp inside edge. Wielded like a flail, the Falx was swung hard, relying on shear weight, strong leverage, and concetrated force delivery to literaly smash apart shields and lighter armour. A true beserker type warrior's weapon, the heavy, brutal and somewhat unsubtle Dacian Falx would be usable with vanilla animations. Ideal against lightly armoured and somewhat inexperienced targets such as bandits, militia, and goblins.

 

Yumi. A somewhat unusual looking but beautiful bow of Japanese design, the massive, asymetrical, and deadly powerful Yumi is a true classic of archey and one I'm sad not to see in earlier ES games on vanilla. At about 2 metres long, late-era Yumi are composite drawn bows about equivalent in size to a western longbow. With an asymetrical grip, graceful curveature, and deep traditional significance the Yumi is as deadly as it is striking. Evolved slowly from the very early days of known Japanese history, the Yumi eventualy evolved into a quintupple-layered composite bow of huge power, and was one of the key weapons in a Samurai's arsenal.

 

Yari. Another tradition Japanese weapon, the Yari is a long spear. Many variants exist, but the basic Su Yari(straight) consists of a staff with a straight, edge-and-point blade noticeably longer than those seen on common spears. Highly effective for piercing armour due to it's spearlike tip, but able to be swung and slashed with aswell, it was at certain times in Japanese history a popular Samurai weapon. It also stands out as remarkably durable, especialy compared to other spear-like weapons, due to the long tang(the thing that sticks the blade to the shaft).

 

Naginata. A weapon who's role in history has gone through many changes and revisions, the Naginata is a long, fairly elegant spear/sword hybrid. Somewhat akin to a Tanto-Falx hybrid, the Naginata has a powerful slashing blade and considerable length, making it highly effective against groups of poorly equiped and or poorly trained troops, such as goblins.

I would like a Celtic Leaf-Bladed sword, and a Saxon Longsword, amongst other things.

[ZainHallows]

would love a golden trident!

[ozziefire]

Clare from Claymore armor, cause it's just so excellent.

[Draco856]

swords, staves, shields, axes, and especially armor with dragon designs of course, kinda like the Oblivion mod "Dragon Claw Sword and Shield" just more variety, detail, and pronouncement. I could barely make out the dragon heads.

[Ausrivo]

I would love to see more Viking inspired helmets with different horns and iron work:) im in love with the Iron helmet i have now in game and i love anything with horns on it:)

[bongshark]

Would love a katana. My Nord from Morrowind, through Oblivion and now in Skyrim has finally made his way home, and it only took 500 years or so. I would love for him to have that katana he collected from cyrodil! Edited November 11, 2011 by bongshark

[Cloud383]

i would like the nightshade armor from oblivion, and the berserker one too, and FFVIII squall outfit and Gunblades

[Adrius2]

As far as I understand there isn't any craftable Dragon weapons, although there is Dragon armor. That would be the main thing I'd like to see added right now.

The Falx is definitely good idea. I've been planning to make one for some time now, and I even have an unfinished blade for it, so I'll probably do one as soon as there's a good NifSkope.

 

Ditto for Japanese weaponry. Probably a port of the Weapons Of The Shogunate pack from Fallout NV and Oblivion, so basically you can look there for a preview of what's in there.

 

The Yari is a good idea for an addition too. I'll have to check if Skyrim has piercing animations, though. While you're correct that you could hack with it too in a pinch, it still was primarily a piercing weapon. For primarily slashing, you'd really want a naginata or nagamaki instead.

 

Falx. A truly ancient and truly viscious weapon the Falx is a behemoth of a blade. At nearly seven feet long, the Falx consists of a solid quaterstaff, at one end holding a forward-curved, talonlike scythe blade, with a razor-sharp inside edge. Wielded like a flail, the Falx was swung hard, relying on shear weight, strong leverage, and concetrated force delivery to literaly smash apart shields and lighter armour. A true beserker type warrior's weapon, the heavy, brutal and somewhat unsubtle Dacian Falx would be usable with vanilla animations. Ideal against lightly armoured and somewhat inexperienced targets such as bandits, militia, and goblins.

 

Just to nitpick: Sorta. There were actually two types of falx. There was a one-handed one, pretty much your average 3 ft longsword, but forward curved and nasty, and then there was the two-handed one you describe. It seemed like most troops had the one-handed one, with the two-hander mostly used by elite (and suicidal) troops. Typically it seemed to have about 3ft of handle and 3ft of blade, though, IIRC so I wouldn't exactly say behemoth or quarterstaff.

 

I would also disagree that it was that overly heavy or relied on smashing. It wouldn't have been that effective if it were heavy and slow. People with very slow weapons get killed easily by people with fast weapons, as a rule of thumb. The falx was just as lightweight and fast as any sword of comparable size from later ages. The main thing that allowed it to split a Scutum (which, yes, it did quite reliably) was concentrating impact on that very sharp forward-bent tip. Sorta like hitting with a Lucerne hammer, except it's at the end of a nasty iron blade that can continue the shearing after the tip got through.

 

But, yes, credit where credit is due, it was the weapon that made Trajan upgrade the armor in the middle of a campaign. Very deadly thing, really.
