[Lore]Why no ancient nord and skyforge blunt weapons?

[lowenz]

Yes, is there a lore convincing explanation?

[jackowonderful]

i don't think so.

[lowenz]

And *shields* of course.

Unless you use a mod, the only blunt weapon in the game is the mace, and that's basically an axe with blades pointing in multiple directions out from the shaft.

 

This is just a WAG, but:

I'll bet the ancient nords didn't have maces (it's a relatively advanced concept, after all), and the companions don't use them because probably carry the connotation of a half-hearted warrior.

Blunt weapons rather knock out, and Nord like to cut people.

This is the same thought of mine, and it's why there's an ancient armor but not an ancient shield.

But it's so.....restricting for characters with blunt perks.

 

And there's no (cyrodiilic) silver mace too :(

No skyforge mace, because the deal with skyforge weapons is the sharper blades. Maces are blunt, so realisticly it wouldn't be any different from a normal steel mace.
