    I remember finding the Ebon Blade Daedric Artifact katana in that hut in the Oblivion game. Man that took my power to a whole new level. It would be great if the dark brotherhood DLC added this.

    It would be even better if only I had one though. For balance of course. Can't have everyone running around with swords like that.

    Well since the Blades are our representatives in the sewers I think we will see them shortly

    The queen of AD is already seen with a katana style blade as well which means there is no reason we won't get them at some point

    just like they have the option to turn weapons into the imperial style, they should do the same for the swords (akaviri style)

    The EP/DC/AD Blessing Of Potentates Set sword looks like a katana.

    With how Xivkyn and Glass fragments came out, I dread to think how to obtain this motif, rofl.
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    10 Akaviri Fragments = 1 Akaviri Paragraph
    10 Akaviri Paragraphs = 1 Akaviri Page
    10 Akaviri Pages = 1 Akaviri Chapter
    Oh and you need to pay the Mages' Guild 100k to translate the chapter for you.

    Not to mention 50K for the Resin to combine them. Must buy 10 resigns to combine fragments, 10 to combine paraprahps, 10 to combine pages...

    Orc style Swords are rather katana-like. Can't say I've found a katana-like Greatsword but then again those don't need to be katanas lol

    There are katana style swords already. The old PvP swords are "Akiviri" styled. They look like short katanas.

    Akaviri are "Snake Men". The stories describe them as having snake-like bodies, its unclear weather this means upper or lower body, or if they simply have scales. But the way the lore talks about them, I imagine them with snake bodies and no legs.

    The Blades took their armor style and their fighting style and adjusted them for two leg use.
    Hopefully the Motif will be released soon, with the ALSO already in-the-game models of the Yokudan style.

    But hopefully soon! I would love to rock an akaviri katana again.

    I'm curious - is that for real? And what kind of armor is it?

    THAT would make me play the game again.

    That style has been in the game since launch, on the PvP sets. Pact/Dominion/Covenant

    Yeah, just go into cyrodil, earn lots of Alliance Points, and buy yourseld one of those sets from the vendors. IIRC, the V12 purple pieces are around 30K AP, the V14 100K AP... you sometimes also find green pieces in your "rewards for the worthy" and they do occasionally show up in well stocked guild stores as well...

    There -have- been rumours that eventually they plan to release the akaviri style for learning & crafting. Seems rather likely, the style IS in the game after all, and while it likely would be a rare skill book, probably come in chapters and such... it seems like something that they'd do since it adds to the game at little extra effort on their part...

    Or just find a well-stocked guild store, where v14 versions can be had for 500-1000 gold.
