LE Customised Weapon Smithing

[Aelfstan]

So my idea is one which involves the creation of customised swords, or weapons, preferably one handed as to fit the system i propose.

 

So the player would craft a hilt, which includes the crossguard, and blade, which can be assembled at a new crafting station called "The Assembly Table" (Creative i know). The idea is to give players who prefer thin swords like Rapiers the ability to make their certain preference, and those who like large, brutal blades the freedom to make theirs, with their preferred components to boot. For axes it would just be the axe head and hilt, and the same system can go for greatswords. Warhammers and maces can work like axes. The ability to make these weapon components would be unlocked in the Smithing skill tree at the same level as 'Advanced Smithing'. And finally, the weapon components would be made with different metals like dwarven, orichalcum, moonstone, malachite, steel, iron, ebony, and daedric, and the player would only be able to assemble conpoments made from the same material, as an iron hilt and a glass blade might look quite strange, unless you're a follower of Sheogorath, then it's ok but i'm not so no.

 

The Styles of Crossguard can go like;

 

Straight Crossguard

Curved Crossguard (Upwards)
Curved Crossguard(Downwards)

Asymmetric Crossguard (Both curved in up and down)

Rapier Crossguard (Look up baskethilt swords, then you'll know what i mean)

No Crossguard (Like the sword the statue of Talos has)

Winged Crossguard (Obvious, the guard looks like wings)

Dragonclaw Crossguard (Dragon talons on the side)

 

Blade Styles;

 

Talos (Like talos' sword on his statue)

Straight+Narrow

Rapier (Thin and long)

Jagged (Like orcish blades)

Wing Based (Wing patterns at the bottom and normal blade)
Engraved

Daedric Curved

Scimitar

Akaviri Katana

 

Axe Heads;

 

Ancient Nord (Downgraded Wuuthrad, similar style)

Elven Hawk (Almost like the elven battleaxe)

Jagged (Orc-like)

Dwemeri (Morrowind Dwarven)

 

Mace/Warhammer Heads;

 

Maul (Like the steel warhammer head but different carvings, or none at all)

Hawk's Head

Brutal (Orc)

Daedric

Flanged (Almost like the Mace of the Crusader from oblivion)

 

I realise this mod would take skill to make, patience to make the meshes and textures for the weapons, and great dedication, but this mod would truly be a great one.

 

Thank you.
