Not sure why the obsession with realism in games. if I wanted realism I wouldn't be playing games. I have enough *** realism in real life. I want bigger 2h axes ffs, the ones we have are too puny.
Sure more options are better, but thus far its the non realistic ones which have been neglected.

For the most TESO is being realistically to TESO with the cool factor that most of us love.
I love the photorealistic graphics of the game. Yet I miss some realistic (i.e. period) looking european style swords. We have rather good looking daito and nihonto (soul shriven models) but nothing like real longsword (a greatsword in game terms) or an arming sword (one handed sword).
Some examples:
Period renaissance longsword

other swords, sadly I did not find anything with an english text, just check the images

Modern replicas based more or less on the original swords

A longsword model I did ages ago for Fallout 3, but since the game had not 2 handed sword animations I scaled it down and used as one handed, though IIRC some guys later modified it either for Fallout New Vegas or Skyrim.

So please something like that.

Very, very close. The armors look gorgeous, but I still have some issues with the sword and bow. BTW did I miss it or there is no greatsword shown on the video?

Disagree here, say TES is late renaissance level, you have things like water powered sawmills with carriage return.TheShadowScout wrote: »The thing is, the "tech level" of tamriel is more "early middle ages" - so, viking raids, karolus magnus, norman conquest of britain, mongol hordes overruning kievan rus, early crusades, that sort of thing. So any "long sword" like designs that were more a thing for the -late- middle ages would -actually- be a little bit out of place...
It would still be nifty, and could make for a good "breton noble" style, yes? The more options the merrier after all (as long as we don't go to "fencing" weapons which would be -quite- useless against fully armored opponents on the battlefield...)
One interesting thing is that all the large swords are thin, not much thicker than an one handed weapon just longer, this because they needed to keep the weight down, having them to thick like just scaling up an one handed sword is an problem.StormeReigns wrote: »So, i guess the zweihänder must be anime cause it is large right?
Wrong. Zweihandler is good since it looks like a real weapon.
Now lets try some images to make you understand better since everything written obviously flies over your head.

Your turn, show me a Valejo picture with a human with a wrongly sized or shaped sword. Or even better, go bother with your racist beating somebody else.

Yes that feature in Skyrim is an real thing, however you had to pull an level to activate it. its an replica of an 1700 sawmill near me. Windmills are common and you have drop hammers. Printing presses so good they have to be industrial age or more likely magical, because books are everywhere. Still in 1600 large part of the world was still stone age.
And yes I too prefer realistic weapons. Armor, not so much
