gamerkim28 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 I am personally frustrated with how "gimped" unarmed combat feels in Skyrim. I was curious if it's even possible to scale Unarmed damage in Skyrim. My thoughts on how to do it include: Based on levelBased on a stat (I was thinking Stamina)Based on the actual armor rating of your gauntlets (not base armor rating of the gauntlet as it is in Vanilla)Based on the skill of Armor based on your gauntlets you're wearing (if wearing Heavy Gauntlets damage would be based on your Heavy Armor skill rating) These are just a few ideas. I don't know how balanced any of these will actually end up being, but I just wanted to throw a few ideas out there. Another Idea I'd like to get implemented is treating gauntlets as weapons in terms of Weapon Effect Enchantments. For example, I'd like to be able to make Frost gauntlets. Soul Trap Gauntlets would also be good if it was possible. If nothing else, a mod that allows you to apply the Fortify Unarmed enchantment on more pieces of Armor would be nice. That way, even if the damage doesn't scale, it can at least be buffed to a better degree. Again, just some ideas I had regarding Unarmed Combat in Skyrim.

thedemoninside Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 How about a special unarmed series of weapons. It sounds like an oxymoron, but would be easy to implement. For instance brass knuckles made with each kind of smithing material would simulate unarmed combat. They could even be invisible on your character if people chose that option. I don't recall an unarmed perk in-game, so adding one maybe in the one handed tree would be nice. This way you could more easily balance the mod with the vanilla game without mucking up the enchanting options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool to actually buff unarmed combat in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedemoninside Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Me too. I find this forum to be filed with people that would rather comment and bump a thread for childish things, like nudity/sex mods, and other outrageous ideas that they would be better off playing another game for. All the good mod suggestions seem to get ignored and sent to the back pages. Just look at the first couple pages...all filled with dumb crap that in no way compliments and enhances the game in the way it was meant to be played.

Yeah, it's unfortunate that this isn't getting more buzz. The Unarmed combat in vanilla Skyrim feels like an afterthought. I just hope we catch the eye of a random modder. Fingers crossed!

thedemoninside Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I would totally consider a monk character if i could have flaming fists using fire enchanted brass knuckles :) The only trouble I see is making the game use the punching animations even though you are technically using 2 one handed weapons.

thedemoninside Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thats the crappy thing though, mods that make sense get ignored, while mods like "Gee golly i wants to be a dragun!" and "I wants 2 chop wood instead of being dragonborn main character!" stay on the top page with tons of replies. WTH is wrong with people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
