Swords worn on arms?

[Zquinty]

This time, I'm suggesting a mod where a new type of weapon, the gauntlet sword/blade is introduced. For those of you who are confused, these would be swords that attatch to the forarm and point up the arm. (essentially, the hilt would rest at the wrist and the tip would rest somewhere above the elbow.) Potentially, these could be like a secondary weapon - the player would be able to equip the gauntlet blade AND a weapon. There are other possible variations, too. Like the blades being equipped as shields, worn as weapons on both arms, or just plain as a weapon on one hand. Sound like fun? :thumbsup:

This mod would be difficult, but truly enjoyable.

And we would all love for someone to create this mod.

Any takers?

If you're talking about a gauntlet that can be used as a weapon, drop it. Forget about the whole thing. You'll never get it. Only weapons can act like weapons. If you're talking about a weapon positioned in such a way as to appear like it's a part of the weapon, then that's possible. However, it's still not going to happen unless all the attack animations are replaced, and the attack animations are not going to be replaced.

A gauntlet with spikey bits that's scripted to make real weapons hit harder is doable, though.

I didn't think of that. That would work quite well.

I have a technique for making wrist-weapons work flawlessly, but it requires someone who can model. There would be a bit of optional scripting, for realism but its not necessary. If there is anyone who actually wants to know because they CAN model and want to make it, PM me.

Got concept art for this? I could use a nice simple project to dust off my skills and figure out what I've missed with Oblivion model import in the past couple years.

The Hashshashin Armor has a set of gauntlets with a wristblade attached.

They don't work as weapons, only gauntlets with a blade attached. They use the H2H skill, and do very little damage. I told the guy who made it how to make proper wristblades, but he can't model.

 

Duskrider: I don't have concept art, but I do have diagrams that represent how it works.
