LE Muskets

[darkofan]

ok... it's obvious that the animations for the crossbow, now in Skyrim, are perfect for rifles. But for some reason everyone is against the idea. They say it's un-lorish or that it would ruin the game, or "it's Skyrim not fable." Personally fable 2 is my favorite fable, and having musket rifles would also just make the game way more fun for someone who doesn't like using magic (me).

 

And now for the fools who say that it's "not lore friendly" DX or that it doesn't fit in with the medieval style of the game... you're wrong. If you take a look at 90% of all the architecture in the game (not including ruins) you'll find that it's way more renaissance style than it is medieval WAY MORE! so to me it's un-lorish to be walking around in a full suit of extremely decorated and unrealistic looking armor with an unrealistically giant battle-axe on my back through a town that's more fitting to Shakespeare.

 

It would look and feel so much better if everyone was wearing tricorner hats carrying sabers rapiers muskets and flintlock pistols. And if you think flintlocks are taking it too far then make it a matchlock, whatever. And you don't have to have the whole "stuffing the ball down the barrel" animation the crossbow one is just fine.

 

And imagine if the imperials were dressed as british redcoats and the the stormcloaks were dressed as the americans of the revolutionary war. Now don't say "oh just get assassin's creed three" or something like that I will get that game but it won't hold my interest as long as an elder scrolls game and the level of detail won't be nearly as great.

 

And that's another thing, the forks and plates and knives in skyrim along with the abundance of books and other writings are not medieval at all they are purly renaissance not to mention almost all the clothing... And I don't want to hear people saying that "it's a fantasy game it doesn't have to be realistic" I know that idc I want it to be realistic! and yes I know Shakespeare was around long before the american revolution ok don't make comments about that. Someone please just make a musket using the crossbow animations and as a bonus maybe add some clothes and armour from relative time periods and maybe replace the guard, imperial, and stormcloak armor's, thankyou!

 

ps: the dawngaurd armour is pretty renaissance looking without the helmet, if someone could just make a red and a blue version, of the dawnguard armour WITH SLEEVES and FULL TUNIC, (u know whuch one I'm talking about) and then replace the stormcloak , and imperial armour's with those it would be close enough. Or a retex of the college robes would work. (the ones that are open in front) thanks

There is a mod that adds pistols and I think also musket like weapons to the game.

I can't link to it though, because the search isn't working correctly for me atm.

 

Also Lore =/= realism

 

Things aren't "un-lorish" because they don't fit in with the architecture or whatever, but because they simply don't exist in the TES universe.

 

By the way, some paragraphs couldn't hurt, it's not exacly a pleasure to read your post.

This mod has a pistol. Maybe you can use these to satisfy your need for renaissance weapons untill somebody makes a musket. Im sure it'll happen eventually.

thanks but I already have the pistol, I want a rifle! (and not the dwemer rifle) and I want it to use the crossbow animations... and yeah sorry about not using paragraphs I didn't intend on writing that much, it just all came out at once... I typed as I talked, I'll fix that up a bit... And with the un-lorish thing that's my point there's no reason why muskets wouldn't fit into the TES universe
