Naming our Crafted Weapons/Armors

I think this is a great idea but because of the immiture names the devs could make it so once renamed, the item is bound to your character.

I'm 50/50 on this.

I believe it would add an exciting amount of immersion being able to name my crafted legendary sword.

The only downsides to this, for me:

1) Half the swords in the game being some variant of Night-Blood-Death-Shadow-Flame-Dragon etc...

2) The other half being named SwagHammer, YoloBlade, HashtagPwnYoo, or NoobSlayer

Both of which would kill the joy right out the gate for me.

I'm screeching at YoloBlade and SwagHammer.

This is a fantastic idea OP !

Daedra's Bane for a 2H (sword or axe) sounds pretty cool
Innocence Lost / Innocent taker ( Dark Brotherhood bow ?)
Beheader - 1h Axe
Cliche' but Widowmaker, Kingslayer, Kinslayer, Orphan maker...
Hatred
Devestator, Desolator, Annihilator ect.
Reaper's Will
Death's Embrace
Cold to Touch, Ice you! ( Ice staff )
We don't need no water ( this is a joke

) Firestaff joke

I have many more I just came up with in 5mins of sitting here while I was typing so I will stop it there

An alternative to naming the crafted item would be to add an inscription field to items. However, the inscription would be more useful if there was an "inspect character" function in the game.

It would be a fun "quality of life" improvement as it would be fun to create equipment provenance like "This 2h hammer known as 'Mudcrab Slayer' was given to 'Main the First Second' on his 10th name day by his favorite guild 'The Milkdrinkers'."

Downside would be the potential abuse by immature players.

I would love this.
Just make it so the item gets bound to you.

I agree as well but only on Legendaries.

Why only Legendary? Why cant everyone crafting name their things?

Could add this but what would be the point when an items is bound to you forever and even then it should be a legendary only piece, which they would then make it even harder to obtain.

I'll be honest. If they ever implemented this, I'd immediately name my weapon "do NOT deconstruct".

2 thoughts on this:

First, players DON'T get to name the legendary crafted items- randomly generated name on becoming "truly legendary."

Second, players need to significantly risk breaking a legendary weapon/armor to make it "truly legendary."

Truly legendary items gain one additional randomly generated trait.

Sit back, grab a beer, and listen to the sea of tears as people line up to break their current million dollar equipment. There would be a big enough reward for folks to risk it.
