Isilmeriel Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The wikia for skyrim and many users on the internet claim that Dawnbreaker glows brighter near the undead, or certain types of enemies in general. There are even a youtube video or two that show the blade (not just the hilt) glowing white hot. Yet I've tried out the weapon in game and it never glowed any differently when near enemies of any type. I opened it up in CK and checked out the enchantment on it and the encompassing script, neither of which had any glowing property aside from the standard Fire Enchantment FX. I also checked out the nif of the weapon and found a looped time controller for the glow animation on the blade itself, which by itself would not have anything to do with proximity to enemies in game. So I'm wondering, if this alleged enemy-sensing glow is achieved by neither script nor nif, is it merely a skyrim urban myth, or maybe a random glitch that stopped the glow animation controller loop?

gsmanners Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Actually, there's some discussion about whether it glows too bright. My guess is it's something in the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isilmeriel Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Unless more people have replicated the result, this could very well just have been a bug in the animation loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
