That would be cool and even better the rune part be later tied to Spell Crafting (Hurry up with Jewelry Crafting already!)

But we won't get it because "balancing"

Have they canceled it?

Last time we heard of it, it was something that was "definitely coming but is still a while away".

Myabe its like runic weapons where hitting an enemy will return magicka much like the current staves. That will create a pseudo melee magicka char / class.

Also, not really new.. I think. I've seen certain sorc (I think they're sorc) blasting out wave circle/oval-ish strikes from their bare hands. How are they able to do that? I always thought you need certain weapons on hand to perform any skill. These dudes or dudettes are doing a Goku from Dragonball Z. Ha ha..

I am pretty sure they will add some new skills with the new Morrowind chapter. It is a major update. It is marketed to be more than a dlc. They are adding a new class after all. But I think they will also add some new skill lines available for everybody (not only wardens). Same as for Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood dlc.

We just need to wait for some official info about this.

I want my two-handed fail and spear. Lets not forget Crossbow. Something epic like a Net would be nice too and Trident.

Anyway, Im so happy they are finally making new Weapons, we need them, sure way to draw people to the game. They shouldnt not stop until theres at least 5 new weapon.

Several months ago on questions about warden as new class they also were saying that doesn't plan to add new class in near future.

Will this be an off-hander for two handed weapon users so they can have 2 set bonuses like duel wield? I hope so!

I think new Weapons are quite clever way to draw people to the game without making some big Chapter kind of DLC. So I almost hope Morrowind does not include Weapons, because we need to create hype outside of it too. Tell me one MMORPG what adds Weapons? Thats straight from out of the box stuff right there.

New Chapter every Q2 (with new class) and new Weapon every Q4, sounds like a plan to me.

A reddit user posted a thread a couple of days ago of a new info he/she recently datamined.ONE HAND AND RUNE

So I just found this in the gamefiles...

Personally, I'll wait and see what happens as we get closer to Morrowind's release.

Hype level = -0.5

It's not a spear she's holding. It's the imperial style staff.

Hate to burst everyone's bubbles, but the icon for the supposed leaked new skill line has been in the game data since at least patch 2.2.3 (Orsinium), so its not anything new at all. Its also located in a folder that has many things that not only have nothing to do with skill lines but aren't even used in the game but have remained there since the early alpha days. Remember when they said you couldn't master all of the crafts? There's still graphics for the interface that had, plus a ton of other stuff that was likely scrapped (like a fancy skyshard collection cube).

This just goes to show that you should take everything that is found in the game files with a grain of salt and don't assume anything til its officially announced.

That does not necessarily mean we cannot speculate. There are things in the files back then that are now in the game. Examples master writs vouchers, a lot of the icons for the new furniture mats, Warden skill lines, poison alchemy ingredients,and a lot of rewards from the past holiday events.

Came for spear, left with glowing glass ball

Valykc

I mentioned this to Deltia during his stream, he wasn't surprised and he said "He's cannot talk about that" must be protected by the NDA he signed.

Enodoc

That 1 Hand and Rune icon isn't new. It's been in the data files since launch, and is a remnant of a pre-beta weapon skill line. It had an associated crafting profession called "Runecrafting" which eventually became what is now Enchanting.

Unless someone's found something new and different, like when the Warden disappeared from the datafiles and reappeared with different assets, this is hype over nothing. But what Deltia may or may not have said in relation to this ^^^ is certainly interesting.

Awesome! Now magic users will have a legit access to two piece monster sets and two set bonuses instead of just having to go dw with no skill line benefit....

Oh wait, they complained about monster sets so hard that Zo$ nerfed them into the ground and to the point of almost uselessness.

Congrats to us magic users on another skill line to level up and 9 more traits to learn (if there is a reason to craft anymore)

I love how you seem to think magic users are bottom of the barrel right now.

NeillMcAttack

Couldn't they just be recycling the icon and these 'runes' will simply be used to accommodate two handers while being part of a set?

I'd still be hyped for that.

I don't think they said they would add a new class with every chapter (unless you are just speculating). Also let's not put too much faith in their plan to release a huge Expansion on a yearly basis alongside three other DLCs, it's bordering on hubris compared to what they've been able to accomplish so far. I'll believe them when it happens, but right now I'm extremely sceptical about whether they'll be able to pull it off. Plus they have yet to address any of the performance issues and major bugs that the previous four updates have brought with them, so I feel like they'll have to focus on that sooner or later lest the game fully collapses.

Except in Skyrim and Oblivion which both had one handed spells.

There's an Argonian in Coldharbour's Hollow City that is wielding a spear (in the Argonian house after Molag Bal is defeated). She even goes through some attack moves with it, as if she's training.

They're going to have the spear as an option to replace shoulders for monster helms. Preview video here:
