Khet Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Alrighty, so I was hunting for some inspiration/reference photos and came across this weapon which sparked an idea. It would probably be way too much work to ask for and I know I wouldn't be able to do it myself until TES V or even TES VI but it's basically a cane (and used like one, just like Sheogorath from SI) but doubles as a sword. If anything perhaps, it could be made as three seperate items. The 'sheathed' sword which would be nothing more than a cane, and the drawn weapon. The sword acting like normal then the sheath used as a shield. I doubt something like this would be possible since an animation would have to be done for the walking/standing/running posses while carrying the sheathed weapon. If everyone feels like taking on this task, please do! If not, no harm done since I already realize the amount of pain staking work that would be required. I'm only asking here because I lack the ability (for now) to do it myself. http://sword-canes.com/CANE-SWORD-FIERCE-DRAGON.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exanimis Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Nice sword! I wouldn't mind having it as a staff, the dragons head is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khet Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 I actually wouldn't mind it as a staff, it'd certainly be MUCH easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSob2020 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Okay, this is a far fetched, but still. If it's an image cane, it may not be used as for walking, but held at armpit, or carried at shield hand. For the latter, the animation would be easy as either shield (needs repositioning, I know) or as unsheathed bow. And as for blocking the only choice of animation would be blocking with a bow. The type of the weapon would be bit harder, since it would be "sword and shield", or more accurately "sword and bow-like item", and as sheeting the blade would require a change in the shield -side of the weapon and hiding the sheath of the weapon, while preserving the animation of the "bow" being unsheathed (so maybe choosing a shields animation would be easier on this one after all). So, for the one issue I came up with: Would the items be repaired separately, or as a single? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihateregisteringeverywhere Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 OBSE allows to switch items quite haphazardly, so I guess that it could be possible to have one cane item - which could be used coupled with "Act like sheogorath" and the second version would be sheath used as a shield and the sword. OBSE could force the player to equipt that if he had the cane equipted. But I think that anyone that takes this on should start by simply creating the cane and use it as a staff or something :).
